Wonder how much govt funding went into those those chargers??? Corporations and gov always have your best interest in mind when doing something.

Isn’t BP using Tesla hardware for its chargers?

I think they could charge extra for a McLaren style suspension and onboard air.. like almost a 5 figure option which they can make money on. The air bags have a spring rate just like coils can be designed for. I’m sure Rivian knows on all purpose ride height the forces the air bags around the...

McLaren uses coil overs on its suspension that has the hydraulic “roll” bars. Rivian’s McLaren inspired hydraulic anti roll bars has nothing to do with air but rather the hydraulics coupling of just the shocks.

Why would changing to a coil over, like a McLarens 720s has require a whole suspension modification?

They could get rid of the air suspension and air compressors for onboard air and kill the camp speaker or charge extra for those features on the R1 in the updated model which would net a huge savings for Rivian and be more inline with what is coming on the R2 and R3’s. I wouldn’t miss any of...

He was just wrapping up when I walked out of my hotel. About ready to call it a day and has some more superchargers over the next few days to do some upgrade in some of the hardware and maintenance. Lots of executive, managers and managers of managers, and engineers of supercharger fired. Not...

Talked briefly to this guy a few minutes ago…. Careful what you read on the internet. Techs weren’t fired I guess according to him…….

Georgia I think is forever dead. Normal should be able to handle US and Canada demand for the foreseeable future. Rivian should plant trees back on the Georgia plant and turn it into a nature preserve. Build the next plant in like China or India or where they can get the cheapest labor to...

I’ve charged at a supercharger (magic dock) in my model 3 with a Volvo, Cadillac Lyrig, Chevy bolt and a Rivian before the adaptors were a thing and they charged all fine…. How much different is a magic dock vs any other v3 supercharger different as far as software. Is the magic dock adaptor...

More chargers will get installed. ? https://www.bp.com/en_us/united-states/home/news/press-releases/bp-boosts-ev-charging-network-with-100-million-dollar-order-of-tesla-ultra-fast-chargers.html

Besides permitting, real estate acquisition and utility connection what else is involved. Giga Shanghai builds the superchargers and Giga NY will assemble them onto preforms concrete pads and contractors install them. Definitely not a 500 person job.

I would like to believe most of these positions are white collar tech positions that can be out sourced to cheaper countries, replaced by AI, or just not needed anymore. Superchargers are built in NY Tesla factory I believe. Would be surprised if they laid off the blue collar assemblers of...

2 EV’s. Tesla Model 3 and Rivian r1s. Vehicles charge at the same time many times. Have 2 Tesla wall chargers each on their own 60 amp circuit but load share 70 amps. I wanted to limit the load on my whole house 200 amp service even though my load calcs say I could push each charger at 48...

Rivian’s new port location is going to require backing in on the high volume models that are coming up…. If Rivian wants these chargers to work for all EV’s model they should be installed in the center line of the parking stall at least. Seeing the pic of the cable going into that polestar I...

The way that charger cable is making a sharp bend to hit that charge port of the Polestar makes me think these cables are going to wear out pretty quick and be a maintenance nightmare as well as put a fair amount of strain on the charge port and connector. If the charger next to that polestar...

Rivian is switching to NACS on future vehicles as is every manufacturer pretty much. So Tesla Charger hands down as it is more future proof without the need for an adaptor like the Rivian Charger will need for even future Rivian vehicles.

Don’t turn down the amps unless you don’t have the right breaker and wiring to your charger to handle the load. It is charging like it should. You probably have low electric useage in the house at this point and have just above 240 volts coming into the charger which is acceptable . Likely...

Didn’t see that right angle on bottom pin due to the dark pic. Looks like maybe a 14-30

14-50
