For comparison, I did a 235 mile trip yesterday in Illinois. First leg of ~80 miles was 2 lane highways and country roads. The remainder was interstates, at about 75-77 mph. Was hoping to make the whole trip with no charging stops but ended up being a few miles short and had to pop into Chase...
Supposed to be one coming to Rochelle as part of the Illinois ev infrastructure plan. But would be great to have one in Dekalb also. There is a supercharger in Rochelle already.
I do not personally have these yet, but I believe both puck types work, just a choice if you want the magnetic ones or the non magnetic. The magnetic are likely easier to use especially if you are by yourself. Kit type is just how many you want and if you want a bag to hold them. I would...
Yea, I didn't manually limit. Reality is for this particular location there is an EA DCFC just 2 miles south anyway so for those who need a big charge they can go to EA. But sure would be nice to use the full capability of the equipment especially since everything here was new and there should...
Agree. Everything in this install is new. Even the hotel. Silly to not just put a bit extra into it.
Seems like the charging units are capable of 48A. Wonder who pays the electrical bill here, Rivian or Hilton and perhaps does one of them stipulate the lower amperage to reduce cost...
Noticed today that there are four newly installed at a new Tru by Hilton hotel at I-88 and RT59 in Naperville, IL.
Cool to see Rivian getting their brand name out at hotels like this. First I have seen. I didn't charge for very long since it is 1 mile from my house, but it did work.
Mine has been locked open since day 1. it was locked closed when I picked it up and asked them to open it. I want to haul stuff so that was the only option for me.
I haven't gotten the recall but wondering if anyone who picked up in the last 10 days out of chicago has gotten the recall? I did notice when i picked up on Sept 30 that all vehicles in the parking lot were in off road mode at max height. Speculate they had just gone around and checked/fixed...
Sept 15 I got the email "Time to complete the purchase process" from Rivian. Sept 26 got the "Your Rivian is ready for delivery". Shortly after that the service center contacted me to choose a pickup time in Chicago. I chose the 30th because it worked best for me but probably could have picked...
about two weeks for me. I really didn't ask any questions during the two weeks so don't know if that is normal or not. Seemed like a fair amount of time. Pickup tomorrow in Chicago!

Looks like another window opened. But agree I would like to make Sep 30. I think they are going to hold the non low income applications for a while though. So be patient. No non low income apps have been awarded. And look at how few of the low income have been awarded...
Got my 8 steps unlocked on 9/14. No delivery date yet.
Reservation December 21.

Drove by Chicago service center today saw it in the lot but lot was locked and nobody around. As you would expect on a Sunday. It was backed into a space along the...
Took this picture of a Limestone R1T at Chicago service center yesterday. They had about 15 R1Ts on the lot. I was fortunate to get to look inside one that was being delivered to a customer when we walked up. Limestone looked great. My config switched back to limestone when I got home. It was a...
Thanks Tom, great info. I will be sure to delay should I get called out of the blue. My order was placed in December 2021, so I probably don't have to worry about delivery before July.
Tom,
Make sure you check out the stipulations for that IL $4k tax rebate.
"The EV rebate is set to go into effect on July 1, 2022. Stipulations tied to the rebate require that an owner keeps the EV for 12 months, to register the vehicle and to live within the state for that year as well...
