They talked about it in 2024 and said R1 would have max 24kw DC bidirectional. R2 and R3 will have AC bidirectional probably at 11 kw. If you already have an inverter, DC on your R1 could be good, but otherwise the hardware will be spendy. What I want more than anything is bidirectional DC V2V...

It stayed at 6kw until about 98% then dropped to 4kw but still hit 100% pretty quickly. This would be perfectly fine if it stayed that way. I’ll update tomorrow after I let it cool down overnight.

Little more digging...Tried to charge to 100% at home and left our R1S overnight on my 48A Tesla Wall Connector. As you can see in the 1st screenshot, it stepped down to <1kw and in the morning said it’d take another 30 hrs. Disappointed but not surprised, I took it to the local supercharger...

Was a little worried about drain when we left our new G2 DL in subfreezing temps at the airport for 8 days. I check it a few times during our trip and was pleasantly surprised to see 2% total loss over the 8 days.

@Glogic I took delivery of my G2 R1S at the beginning of December and it has always throttled on L2 charging above 70% SoC. Not that it is helpful but my G1 R1T never did that over the 20K miles I owned it. Is there a polling function on this forum?

@DeafPug Good catch, I hadn’t seen your previous post. About 3 weeks ago, after letting my new G2 R1S L2 charge over night at the abysmally slow <1Kw (trying to get to 100%), I gave up and brought it to a nearby supercharger and top charged it to 100% - thinking the BMS may need to calibrate...

@portdirect This is an excellent hypothesis and you could be on to something. However, there are G2 owners that are not seeing this behavior. I wonder if there was a batch of lg and max packs with a different pack configuration or chemistry that is effected. This screenshot from the last time I...

If I crank my G2 R1S full tilt the heat pump noise is definitely noticeable but only outside the vehicle (video #1). Nothing inside rattles or anything. During normal operation, it is much quieter (video #2). Inside the vehicle sounds like video #3. I’ll take outside noise for the increased...

At least for me, heat is not an issue. The L2 throttling is pretty consistently tied to SoC. Not perfectly consistent, but enough to see a pretty clear pattern. I spoke with Jose at RivianTrackr and he thinks the new low-cobalt battery chemistry may be tied to poor DCFC performance due to poor...

Seems like the Rivian SC folks aren’t tracking issues and/or collaborating company wide - at least that is my impression from past interactions. We can try to elevate this to Out of Spec or Jose at RivianTrcker, they seems to have some pull.

Yes, ABRP under “Live Data” BTW, Aldo is my son’s name too :)

Thought I’d provide a current update (1/8/24). I’ve attached a screenshot showing the L2 throttling of my G2 R1S DM Lg. I started charging at 75% SoC (battery was 40F), it held 11kw for maybe 20 mins then stepped down to 9, then 4kw around 80%. Ridiculous… I did just notice the charging graph...

I have seen this behavior from my Gen 2 R1S Dual Large, on both my 48A charger and my 40A charger. Both of my EVSEs are Tesla universal wall connectors and they function fine on other cars. At one point I got fed up and went over to a supercharger to top off. For a few L2 home charging sessions...

Reminded me why I unsubbed Munro Live…Sandy ”I want cheap plastic crap, therefore f*ck frogs, they don’t deserve to exist…” RJ “err, yes supply chains are difficult to manage…”

@Skysurfer I’ll continue to test but it’s pretty consistent - goes up to 70-75% at full speed, then steps down. I’ve done hard resets, switched chargers, etc. seems like something they should be able to diagnose remotely but they wanted me to bring it in. I can live with it for now.

@Seano I’m glad to hear you aren’t seeing the derated L2 charging behavior at higher SoC, maybe there is hope for me. On 1 or 2 occasions, my Gen 2 has held 11kw/48A like my Gen 1 used to but those have been the exception. It usually stair steps down above 70%, which is frustrating.

@Skysurfer I haven’t noticed a change in DCFC since the last OTA. Perhaps even more befuddling is the derated L2 charging. My Gen 1 would pull 11kw/48A all the way to about 99% SoC. My Gen 2 steps down to 8kw in the 70s, 4kw in the 80s, and hits 1kw in the low 90s. This makes it almost...

Fellow Gen 1 to Gen 2 convert here. I echo many of your sentiments re headlights, ride quality, interior, etc. BUT the charging performance in Gen 2 is significantly worse (slower) than Gen 1. That’s not important to everyone but it was a huge let down to me. In my Gen 1, I’d hit > 200kw every...

I have a Large pack gen 2 R1S that I traded my gen 1 QM R1T for. So far, my experience echos Kyle from Out of Spec…”Gen 2 charges like a$$.” Sorry your experience hasn’t been great, there is so much to like about Rivian but the battery/charging changes for Gen 2 are not among them.

I usually charge to 70% for normal use but often want to charge higher to go on longer trips. This used to work well in my Gen 1, but is very frustrating in my Gen 2 <4kw at 85% is horrendous.
