  1. R1T CAMPING & TOWING - First experience & lessons from 3 week camping trip with 23' Airstream trailer

    Consider one of these as well. Mine comes in handy. I've even charged at 32a on robust 1/0 supplied spaces https://a.co/d/65I7cKB
  2. Temporary error at super chargers

    Might have to do with needing to check compatibility with early Teslas that don't do ccs. It fails that test and then switches to CCS.
  3. When you're at a traffic light and another Rivian pulls up next to you and lowers their window...

    In the early days I would get lots of waves but they are everywhere now. People would have lots of "how do you like it?" Questions too.
  4. L2 charger down to 2.7kwh at 24F.. Should I be worried?

    The car can charge at any rate in 1A increments. The J1772 communication standard allows the following rates: 12, 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56, 64, 72, 80 (80% of the breaker) so the EVSE can only tell the car "here is the most I can supply." If the EVSE notices an issue, it can request the car to...
  5. Can’t buy used Rivian out of state?

    Two separate issues. One is a dealer sale licensing issue. Another is registering the vehicle in CA, which shouldn't be a problem.
  6. Is Charging R1S Overnight Required or Optional?

    Yea $.17-$.20 I'd pay all day for home charging. CA is expensive. Edison people are getting ripped heavily approaching $.40 I wouldn't worry about a few solar credits.
  7. Rivian Wall Charger Keeps Dropping to reduced level

    Could be they dialed in a voltage sag measurement that senses a poor connection and aborts. My Autel unit is super sensitive to issues.
  8. Farewell - sold my R1T QM and moved to Tesla MY26 - some thoughts and comparison

    Enjoy your new car. The Y is a great car but please be careful with the camera only fsd vision.
  9. 2026 Quad Max EPA Certification w/ specs (range, capacity, etc.)

    The existing stations do up to 900v. They have 500a cables. R1 batteries are 450v, hence 225kw max. The rest of the switch gear seems to limit to 300kw (kva) instead of 450kw (kva).
  10. Firmware Update Issue, Rivian Stuck on 2023.06.02 in Kazakhstan

    Drive the car to Düsseldorf, Germany. I bet the Rivian service center there could fix it.
  11. Firmware Update Issue, Rivian Stuck on 2023.06.02 in Kazakhstan

    There is no choice. They have to go in sequence as ota's. The main computer could probably be flashed in bootloader mode but that would leave all the other modules behind. Android automotive works the same way as a android phone.
  12. Engaging cruise control in stop and go traffic?

    There were a few cases of people accidentally hitting the lever while stopped or going slow and the car accelerated to the speed limit. Rivian put some safety measures in after that.
  13. California's ban on ICE vehicles has been blocked

    Yes the debate on removing gas appliances in CA has been ongoing. I manage a bunch of apartment buildings in LA and also have a general contractors license. I've built over 500 homes in CA and HI. Here is the the problem with gas appliances. It creates and energy monopoly that electric utilities...
  14. Firmware Update Issue, Rivian Stuck on 2023.06.02 in Kazakhstan

    Sounds lik the car isn't even in your name. Did you coordinate with the seller and rivian to transfer it? I would try turning off the auto update function if your firmware has it. That causes it to pole immediately because it doesn't know when it will have a chance again some time. I would also...
  15. 22" Inch Michelin Pilot Sport S 5 - Now available at tire rack

    I'm not sure either. Just seems inconsistent like the vacuum booster isn't always charged or is always retracted or something.
  16. 22" Inch Michelin Pilot Sport S 5 - Now available at tire rack

    Changing subjects a bit, does anyone else find that the rivian brakes are horrendous? 99% of the time it's all Regen so no pedal at all which is fine. 0.9% there's a panic stop. That 0.1% you want performance braking and they seem completely incompetent with no feedback or modulation and...
  17. Can’t buy used Rivian out of state?

    Buy from someone else or wait a bit for inventory. Everything in CA is massively marked up so I don't blame you for looking elsewhere.
  18. Is Charging R1S Overnight Required or Optional?

    If you park next to your unit, you might approach your landlord and ask if you could have an electrician put an outlet off your panel. You would likely recoup the money saved pretty quickly over fast charging. Even a 30A 240V outlet on an apartment panel will make things worry free. Then buy a...
  19. 22" Inch Michelin Pilot Sport S 5 - Now available at tire rack

    I had S4's on my Audi and S3's on the BMW 325. They were great tires that rode and handled nice even at speeds above 14mph ;) on the freeway. Only made about 25K miles. Switched to the Pilot Sport AS on both which handle "fine" but I can tell the compound is harder and harsher. For that trade...
