  1. Tesla engineer urges Rivian to move charge port location on R2, R3, R3X for Supercharger access

    Agree to disagree.

  2. Cost was a reason for charge port location on R2 / R3 + other info in RJ interview with Electrek

    Even if it was front left or right, how would you charge while hitched if the spot wasn't a pull through or "parallel parking?" You'd be blocking the lane of travel in between stalls, no?

  3. Tesla engineer urges Rivian to move charge port location on R2, R3, R3X for Supercharger access

    Why? By what metric is that what "appears" to be the best choice? What evidence do you have that it's "single digit" cost savings? I it doesn't frustrate me, it pleases me because that's where my charger is installed in my garage.

  4. Cost was a reason for charge port location on R2 / R3 + other info in RJ interview with Electrek

    So then why not assume they did what was most prudent and appropriate assuming that was likely to be the case?

  5. Cost was a reason for charge port location on R2 / R3 + other info in RJ interview with Electrek

    That’s the first criticism I’ve seen that I think is warranted, but still, not enough of a factor for the overall market to justify increasing cost to accommodate it IMO.

  6. Cost was a reason for charge port location on R2 / R3 + other info in RJ interview with Electrek

    If you can afford an R1, you can afford to move your charger if it bothers you that much. Since the R1 charger is on the opposite corner, you could simply drive straight in and it would be on the correct side. The fact that #2 isn't incredibly feasible based on your driveway isn't something the...

  7. R2 / R3 charge port -- NACS, Passenger Rear Side location

    Are you THAT opposed to walking an additional 6 feet? I do not understand all the hate for this move on the basis you have to walk further…

  8. Cost was a reason for charge port location on R2 / R3 + other info in RJ interview with Electrek

    God forbid you have to walk an extra 6 feet. What’s above whatever is above a “first world problem?”

  9. Tesla engineer urges Rivian to move charge port location on R2, R3, R3X for Supercharger access

    Whatever the reason, I don’t see a huge problem with it, especially if it keeps costs down as, for the vast majority of charging sessions, it won’t matter one bit.

  10. Tesla engineer urges Rivian to move charge port location on R2, R3, R3X for Supercharger access

    Obviously not considering you’re here ostensibly complaining they did not consider you when designing the charge port location…

  11. Tesla engineer urges Rivian to move charge port location on R2, R3, R3X for Supercharger access

    Agree to disagree.

  12. Tesla engineer urges Rivian to move charge port location on R2, R3, R3X for Supercharger access

    Then you are the edge case and they shouldn’t design to meet your specific need over everyone else.

  13. Tesla engineer urges Rivian to move charge port location on R2, R3, R3X for Supercharger access

    Again, design for the typical use case, not the edge case. How many charging sessions are done with a bike on vs. not? Besides, once EVs are ubiquitous, we may have stations more like gas stations in design. And you can back up without cameras.

  14. Tesla engineer urges Rivian to move charge port location on R2, R3, R3X for Supercharger access

    I'm confused as to all the fuss here. We should ALL be backing in whenever possible as it is safer and less accident prone for most situations. I personally find the R2 charging location perfect as I back into my garage and the port is right where my charger is installed so I don't even need...
