Just got the email myself. R1T delivery was in early Nov 22.

Yep. 6awg Romex would be fine for 60A if it were not continuous for 3+ hours. Code states that you have to use the 80% rule when running loads continuous for 3+ hours. For EV charging you have to factor in the 80%. Thus you need at a minimum 6awg THHN/THWN in conduit for 60A thus running at 48A...

You could ask them to see if a Service Center on your route home has one you can stop by and pick up. If you can, I would get an A2Z NACS->CCS adapter to use Tesla Superchargers on the way home as well. Go ahead and start playing with abetterrouteplanner.com and planning your trip.

Residential is 120v/240v. When talking about powering a house you talk in split phase 240v. There’s no electric company that I am aware of that will provide one-leg 120v service to a residence in the US. When you talk residential you do, in fact, talk in 240v unless you are speaking of...

Yes, the Rivian Nav will work fine. I setup my Nav options to only include RAN and Tesla Superchargers. If you do not it will favor EA or others.

Hate to burst your bubble, they haven't even gotten to June 2022 orders and you think June 2023 orders are a couple of months away?

Argue what you will, Rivian advertised certain capabilities would come to R1s (gen 1) prior to even delivering the first vehicle. They are going to open themselves up to a vast amount of expensive ligation to go back on announced, upcoming, features that may or may not have enticed someone to...

I ordered on the 13th and just received my adapter today. Just be patient folks, they are getting them out as fast as they can.

I ordered on 3/13, got notification a couple of days ago and just today got a delivery estimate of next week.

Nope. Your Wall Connecter is for AC charging. The one Rivian is sending out will be for DC charging. You will want to pick up an AC adapter: Lectron, A2Z and Tesla Tap make really good and reliable AC adapters. Search the forums and there are plenty of posts and links.

I don't believe 4awg will fit in the terminals in the Wall Connector. There's no point in running 4awg with the added cost over 6awg. Further you have 4awg running to the panel to feed all of your loads. 6awg THHN or THWN is rated for 60A and 48A continuous on the 80% rule.

So far I do not see any reason why that would not work. If you do go that route, ensure that you use 6awg THHN/THWN wiring in conduit if you plan to use the 60A breaker. If you use 6/2 or 6/3 Romex you will need to use a 50A breaker.

2awg is rated for 125A but as another poster stated it is 100A going by the 80% rule. Either way, unless there is something else you are not telling us, you can use a larger breaker for your sub panel. I would like to know more details to give you better advice. Does your subpanel have a main...

I'm kidding, I don't actually know. I just wanted to have a bit of fun after a long day. ;)

Teal is going to be a limited edition color for R3 launch.

My guess is they are working on the backend to switch service chargers over to the vehicle owners.

Just keep in mind, you will often find that you will not pull the full-rated power of the panels. For instance if you setup 20kW for 11.5kW EV charging is a good bet on most days. Whereas if you setup 12kW for 11.5kW EV charging you will often come in lower due to various factors. I know your...

Easiest way is to use OpenEVSE, Solar Assistant and Home Assistant to handle the automation process. Solar Assistant can communicate with your Inverter / batteries. Solar Assistant and Home Assistant will talk with each other. Home Assistant can adjust the "power output" of the OpenEVSE...

I have had great success with Lectron 48A A/C adapter.
