The Barstow RAN needs an expansion. Was there twice about a month ago (to/from Vegas) and it was full each time. From what I remember, they had plenty room for more chargers.
The expectation that Rivian’s software stack is as good as Tesla’s is today is ridiculous. Tesla has been doing this longer than anyone else, and is multiple generations ahead of everybody. If impatience with certain impending features is deterring from purchasing/keeping a vehicle, then maybe...
I’ve had this happen multiple times. I think what happens is that when you have a charge session schedule set, it will work as intended the first time. If you manually stop the charging session before it completes its scheduled charge, the system thinks you’ll want to continue that same...
Try tail-lidz.com. Very happy with my purchase. Cheaper, looks better, and shipped within a few days of ordering. 3 section covers that fit perfectly and come in black or white trim colors.
I gave up waiting for the Rivian tonneau’s (manual and automatic) a while ago. Was hoping they would prioritize those of us who were shipped trucks without one…guess not! Ordered my Tail-Lidz and it was shipped with perfect packaging, and arrived one week later. Quality is excellent and it...
If Rivian wants to keep up technology wise, they should go 48v/800v, LFP and Gigapress. A lot to ask for, but they’re building their new Georgia plant from the ground up. Now’s the perfect time!
Just got mine back after 4 weeks in service. I was told when dropping it off, that they probably wouldn’t even start looking at it for 7-10 days. Then they had to order parts from the factory, that took multiple days. But I knew when purchasing the vehicle, there would be some issues when...
I can only imagine how costly this party trick is. A 8000+ lbs school bus, with huge tires that are laying down rubber, spinning both directionally and laterally on asphalt. But I guess if you can afford to G-Turn…who cares ?
I’ve only DCFC once and had the same experience with EA. Took 3 attempts in order to work. FYI, you’re only going to see peek speeds of around 220KW, between 20-50% SoC. And that’s in optimal conditions.
With only 2 motors doing all the heavy lifting (conserve mode), it would make sense that they would run hotter than normal. Especially on short trips. On longer trips, the airflow and less regen would help reduce temps.
