I'm currently driving a rental Jeep while my Rivian is in the shop for some minor door alignment fixes, and I'm hating every single moment of it. Buy the Rivian, never look back.

can you show us a video of what you mean

If you notice your suspension has gotten more loose/rattly overnight, the first thing I recommend is to fully cycle your suspension height. I set my stiffness to soft, then while in all-purpose and driving slowly I raise the vehicle up to high and wait for it to complete. Then I lower the...

Sorry but the person you spoke to seems clueless. There's no way there's some 60,000+ adapters being produced and shipped in the next month.

Difficult? No. Would it make them and Tesla look bad? Yes.

You're assuming they don't have that expectation already. They most certainly do. The reason they're not sharing it is because it's Not Good news.

you still don't have yours? wow you must be the only one left. i took delivery on January 1st, 1969 and i received my adaptor back in the 90's.

You're getting half the speed you could by using the 5-15. You can charge at 24A with the 14-50 adaptor. What we really need is a TT-30 directly to the EVSE adaptor like Tesla portable chargers have. Then there'd be no fussing around with changing amperage in the vehicle or getting the right EV...

You shouldn't use a 5-15 adapter for TT-30. While 5-15 is a 120V plug, it maxes out at 15A. You want a TT-30 to 14-50 that's meant for EV charging specifically. If you get one designed for EV charging it'll work as expected if you limit your charging to 24A (80% of 30A).

You can use "send to Rivian" from anywhere if you select an address and use the share sheet on iOS

TT-30 is 120V so you'd only get 2.8kW assuming zero charging overhead. Realistically, there will always be significant overhead when AC charging so expect closer to 2kW

Is the risk really worth it here? I understand how being able to double your charge rate would be cool, but the sheer risk of getting this wrong feels like a huge deal breaker.

The hardware upgrade you're asking for costs about as much as a new car. You bought the product they had, not the next ten years of products they develop. If you feel so strongly about all this, trade your gen 1 in for a gen 2.

Also, be polite at fast chargers whenever you use them! Imagine a long line of cars waiting for a gas pump for the person at the front to finish filling up dozens of 1 gallon gas containers. That's what it feels like when the person in front of you is charging to 100% for no reason, or hogging...

To be clear, your vehicle is capable of *more than 150kW charging*. All Rivians currently available are capable of 216kW charging. This means you should definitely choose a faster charger when you need it (below 40% battery, for example). If your battery is above 50% you're not going to benefit...

I don't think you can name favorites. At least, I've never been able to do so.

ChargePoint is great at what they do, which is mostly destination chargers at apartment buildings, parking garages, and office buildings. They have some DCFCs but they're usually on the slower end from my experience. This doesn't make them bad, they're just for a much different use case than...

Welcome to the club! What type of charger were you using when you were getting 9 mi/hr? It's usually easier to talk in kilowatts and kilowatt-hours when discussing charging and battery capacity. The miles-per-hour charging unit is different for every vehicle because of efficiency, whereas...

So you're in possession of stolen IP? You really should've been more coy about all this. I can't believe you just said that completely unprompted.

lol you're really not helping yourself here, at all.
