Curious to see more info on the Lectron adapter. The A2Z method of latching to the Supercharger is a bit iffy to me. I wonder if the Lectron adapter will prevent unplugging the Supercharger cable from the adapter until it is unplugged from the vehicle, like I have read the official adapters...
Has been the same for us with the exception of sending us an ordering guide in January, but still no info on delivery estimates. We aren't in a hurry, but would be nice to stay informed. Maybe Rivian has conditioned us to this, so it doesn't fee so abnormal. I would like to see the EX90 in...
Looks great! I have been considering the bronze Atomic wheels for my truck as well (though staying with stock tire size).
Don't know if you noticed, and didn't see it mentioned, but you are missing your left front center cap.
I have a 4/8 appointment for the 22.5k comprehensive inspection. I also have an outstanding tonneau cover repair ticket (from July of last year). I just called to see if it could be added, and was told that was based on SC supply, and they would call me back once that was determined.
Really...
Can you stop the charge at a DCFC by depressing the latch on the charger handle? I'm pretty sure I have tried that and it doesn't depress if the charge is still ongoing (and the actuator is locked in the down position). This is definitely the case for AC charging if the doors are locked, I...
This "refresh" which is what the plant is shutting down for is largely an electrical architecture change. If there are visible changes they will be minimal. Most changes will be under the skin, and NACS will not be one of them. Yes, I have knowledge of what is happening (to an extent...
There is an actuator on the vehicle inlet that doesn't allow you to disconnect while it is engaged. The button on the adapter (or native CCS connector) is one end of a pivoting arm that needs to lift on the vehicle side to release from the vehicle. The actuator prevents that from lifting, so...
It is locked while charging. The Ford vehicles just have a stop button on the outside. Then it is unlocked after stopping. Our trucks don't have that, and most likely Ford will address that with a software update, so that if the doors are locked the actuator that retains the cable won't...
Do you have a link to that? If true, that would be extremely unsafe and would likely be immediately pulled from the market. The potential for an arc during a hot unmate would be very high, with substantial risks to both property and life.
Adapters lock to vehicle, and cable locks to adapter. Has to do that for safety, but will also prevent what you are worried about. Will not be an issue.
Contacts will be the same as in a charging cable/inlet, these are qualified to 1000s of mating cycles, way more than you will do in the...
Look up from the underside to see where all the bracing is under the step plates.
Don't drill anything! There is no punching involved in making these, they are either cut with a water jet or laser, if you see the shape of the diamond, it is cut through the whole way, it can't be just a depression.
Was part of the advertising literature when we bought our R1s too, so we will see if it ever comes to light. I just want something along the lines of BlueCruise and SuperCruise. I don't need or want full self driving, just hands free on pre-mapped highways.
