I'll give what experience I can coming from a Tesla. I road tripped from MN to Yellowstone/Grand Teton last summer with my wife and kids in our Model 3 last August. Outside the park I used Tesla Superchargers to get there. When we were at our hotel/cabins we stayed at outside the parks I...
I find it hard to believe Rivian's engineers, designers, and testers wouldn't have thought of generator charging use cases. They are marketing these as adventure vehicles capable of going to very remote regions. Then there are power outages, storms, and emergency situations. I'd honestly find...
The UPS guy that delivered all my gear the other day backed into my driveway which was odd and said he had 5 large boxes for me. Then he starts asking about the truck, who makes it, how it all works, charging, where it can go. He was at my house a good 10 mins walking around and looking at the...
Yeah this had been the route I wanted to go, but unfortunately the short lived sale of those Tesla J1772 wall connectors wont load share with a standard Tesla Gen2 unit. A buddy of mine tried and it never would work and others have reported the same. So having two Gen2 units was the best option...
I disagree, works fine for me. I already had a Tesla Gen 2 wall charger and I was able to buy a 2nd one on ebay so I could load share. Put on the TeslaTap Mini 60 adapter for the R1T and it works great. This was the cheapest route to load share for me since I already had a Tesla Gen 2 charger.

Some of them do. In my 5 years of EV ownership I've not had to use this option but in a few instances I had a few RV sites as part of a backup plan on road trips. Usually I just go with what is on Plugshare. Most of the time people state giving the site owner $5-10 for a couple hours of use.
No, you cannot. Directly from product page:
There is no adapter that will allow you to charge a non Tesla at a Tesla Supercharger. If/When one is ever made, it will come directly from Tesla.
I use a Tesla adapter to charge at home every night for my R1T. Its the TeslaTap Mini 60. I already had a Tesla Gen2 Wall charger and I got another one on ebay so I can charge both the R1T and my Model 3 at the same time using their power share feature. Together the chargers share a 60A...
Doesn't bother me at all to still drive this beautiful truck. That's the power of OTA updates, it will keep getting better. But the only way it gets better is if customers voice their suggestions, report bugs, and share their experience with Rivian and each other.
This is what I sent my guide/Rivian after having the truck for a couple days.
Improvements/Suggestions
One of the biggest suggestions that I think Rivian can and should capitalize on is gathering direct feedback from their customers on ideas and improvements of the vehicles software and...
Heres one for my fellow owners to test when they get time. Have a weird issue where the truck wont start charging again after a completed charge session. Here are my specifics: Set charging limit to 85% and allow vehicle to complete the charge. Go out and now set charge to 100% and vehicle...
Also I've had an EV for 5 years now and the rules of maintaining battery health are:
A charged battery is a happy battery
AND
Remember the ABCs of an EV, Always Be Charging
I like the recommendation that someone on here had a long while back.
Rivian should sell water bottles in their online store painted all the different vehicle colors. Sell them as singles or even in large packs. Collect them all!
