America's Tire (what they call Discount Tire in California) shows EV efficiency when I click on details for a specific tire. Below is for the MICHELINDEFENDER LTX M/S2P 275 /60 R20 116H XL BSW Item #127371

Just realized the Tesla chargers near the ice rink are not SC, just Destination chargers. So NACS adapter not applicable. But looks like the chargers still require authentication, which currently only works with the Magic Dock-enabled Superchargers. Once we get the NACS adapters, we should also...

NorCal perspective: Last April I charged my R1S up to about 90% at the EA in Bridgeport on the way to Mammoth from SF. Then 4 days in Mammoth, just back and forth between Mountain Inn and town center. Quick charge at Bridgeport on way back, and all worked out well. In a few months (maybe...

Looks like about 300 of us have signed up for the 2-month Electra-fi trial. Awesome data. Turns out they have Fleet data, which tracks all the data across all Rivians. In particular, they show the OTA updates for ALL Rivians under Electra-fi, so you can see the batching of the rollout. Looks...

Corte Madera RAN no longer free - was nice while it lasted.

As I stated earlier, it is my belief that with the Lectron adapter it *will* work the same way. However, the SC charger has to be able to handle the CCS handshake (initial charging level, changes to charging level) . The Magic Dock stations clearly have this software support already. I suspect...

I just looked more carefully at this location in the app. While it does *not* show which chargers are pull-through (which would be useful for those planning trips with trailers), it *does* seem to indicate that they have used a 2:1 dispenser:cabinet ratio. That is, each charging cabinet is...

When I stopped there a month ago it looked like 2 of 6 dispensers would be pull-through. Will await confirmation

With the Magic Dock, Tesla is not doing any authentication at all. Any brand of car can use it. Only requirement is to create an account on the Tesla app, and have a payment method set up. Now when you physically plug in, there is a hardware handshake between dispenser and car to share each...

I believe that, from a hardware standpoint, using the new adapter at non-Magic Dock SC will be functionally equivalent to a Magic Dock. It is just that the adapter is manually added, instead of built into the SC. I already signed up in the Tesla app for "Charge your Non-Tesla". It required me...

Yes, RJ already said we would all get the adapter for free. But Rivian will not ship them out until the business agreement and backend technical support is working. Sounds like that will be "in the spring".

Couple other updates to the map. 1) San Francisco service center at Fell St is *not open*. Work is under way, but no estimated opening date that I know of. Everything in SF is slow. 2) Groveland CA will actually be an Experience Center, not just RAN. This is from a neighbor who has a Rivian...

Went by a couple weeks ago. Firebaugh hasn't started, Santa Nella has dispensers but not much else.

So after 4 weeks and 4 days since they towed it away, and one brand new rear drive unit, I finally picked up at SSF this morning. Luckily I thought to look in frunk, and two large plastic panels were sitting there not re-installed, along with some tools. So back in the shop it went, and 20...

I should have checked @RANtracker - pin location is correct:

I came up to North Bay via I-5 yesterday and took the opportunity to check out two coming-soons. Firebaugh looks like no progress, not even the transformer. This is assuming the current pin location behind McD's is correct, putting it next to the big SuperCharger lot. I did notice a...

It is a hit job, clearly. Interesting though that they explicitly call out Rivian. Clearly whoever "suggested" this new test is afraid of Rivian and knows they are the real threat. So good news for Rivian enthusiasts and owners. Would make sense if this is Toyota. Their previous CEO said BEVs...
