Or low on charge. Mine was low on charge and caused it to run continuously instead of only an hour or two per day or night. Recharging fixed that, but it will use the same energy per hour of runtime, whether producing 55 degree air or 75 degree air. Duct leaks, supply or return, also can...

In a place like Texas, prices often vary by hour or 15-minute increments to market prices, which can vary from ~$.05 to over $1000/kWh, so even a small usage during peak times will make electricity prices exceed a mortgage. In California, higher tier rates can be >$.50/kWh while non-peak/lower...

Do the math: kWhs added multiplied by your electricity rate equals cost to charge. My average rate is about $.16 per kWh so when I add 50 kWhs, or about 35% of my battery capacity, it costs me about $8. Being that takes me about 100 miles, that costs about $.08/mile, which is lower than any of...

I purchased both the Lectron and A2Z adapters, and used both at the local supercharger. I struggled for about 5 minutes to release the Lectron from the charger plug, but the A2Z released and inserted easily. Both charged just fine. While I prefer the push button release over the slide release...

I purchased both an A2Z and Lectron and the A2Z worked flawlessly while the Lectron—well built as well and a nicer lever arm release mechanism—got stuck in the supercharger plug and others have had same experience, so I’d recommend the A2Z.

Yep, it's a plug adapter. Plug in, use, when done unplug. Should be as simple as these three instruction steps. If many of us are having issues with a simple plug, then it's a product issue, not an issue of the user.

I did all of that, watched their use video before I used it and still had the same issue others have. I don't like that they are blaming it on a worn supercharger plug as all supercharger plugs will be worn once used so they have to design to that, and they have now twice mailed out defective...

I had great difficulty removing the Lectron adapter from a supercharger. I almost left it there attached also but finally after several minutes of very hard pulling, wiggling, and every combination of process it released. It released easily from the vehicle. A friend called me yesterday for help...

If only there were RAN chargers where needed.

Agree. This is what I’ve found to be a benefit with the Max pack. The different cells and larger capacity of each allows for faster charging rates. When side by side with other Rivians at RAN my Max pack charged at a higher charge rate by 5-10 kW. I didn’t measure actual numbers but was...

A question I ask is if the manufacturer of the adapter wants liability for a car or building fire? A reputable manufacturer most certainly will not take on that liability as it would surely fail the company. A fly by night off brand can take that risk but not an established brand that wants to...

My max pack R1S has traveled less than 1000 miles and not enough data yet, but system estimates are about spot on with stated distance. Nearly all of my miles so far are traveling up and down steep mountain pass in the winter with 20" tires. I'll report more once I get some distance and long...

My last new vehicle purchase was a built to order BMW, and I could watch by the minute the manufacturing process and transportation via rail and truck to the dealer. I literally knew by the minute what was happening and where it was, with estimated time to dealer. It was so much fun to track its...

I received a call from local service center and took delivery about two days later, although I could had taken delivery the next day except for the day to resolve the lease start date to match the delivery date (per my other comment on this thread).

I had a deposit for a new build that I cancelled when a ready to lease/buy option came up with all of the options I wanted, so I put down a deposit on that and cancelled my build to order deposit. There were no updates at all on expected delivery time of my deposit for a build to order, even...

Yes indeed. It seems that volume production and shipping is just becoming available so I would think the deliveries will be in the 10,000+/month from each of several suppliers (Lectron, A2Z, Tesla, Ford, Rivian...) so we should all start getting these adapters within a few months. History of...

Interesting that you brought this up, as on Sunday after the software update I had all doors unlock except the driver's side, in which the handle did not come out.

It's effectively the same as a plug adapter when traveling to other countries with different AC receptacles. While the voltage and frequency may be different, it just passes thru the power and your device that's plugged in, such as a laptop, converts the voltage and frequency. In this case, the...

I used to be a leader of Tesla's factory engineering team and this is a product they would outsource to one of the many capable manufacturers of this component. I'm sure that production is well underway with one or more manufacturers and they just send to a fulfillment center. What ever the...
