I've got another thing to point out that simply works on the Rivian and did not with Tesla. Driver+. I had "Full Self Driving" on my last two Teslas (and the original autopilot on another) , and on every freeway with on/off ramps, it would veer to the right the moment the lane was merging in if...

Yeah, this is gonna be a specific review. First, I have owned 4 Tesla's (2014 Model S, 2016 Model S, 2019 Model S, and a 2023 Model X) and now have a 2023 R1S. It's been raining here for the past few days, so I got to test out the windshield wipers in everything from mist to heavy rain....and...

And here are the requested pics in order from the source outlet all the way to how I get that to the car charger. If the outlet is close enough to the car, you could just use an adapter to a NEMA 14-50 outlet and then plug the mobile charger right into that, but that's rarely the case, and that...

Posting pics in a few minutes!

Ah, good to know. I bet that is because it is already a non-aerodynamic box, so adding another tiny box on top hardly affects it. :)

On which vehicle?

I actually have a Volt too, and it does a great job adjusting for temperature trends over about a two week cycle. 17 miles in winter and 35 miles in summer are the low/high points usually. But if I put a bike rack on the back and load up the car with a lot of weight and drive on the freeway, it...

That's how all EVs are when it comes to their range calculations. If they did that behind the scenes, then consumers would complain when their car showed 40% less range because they drove through some head winds on the prior trip.

Roof rack/boxes and bikes on the back add a ton of drag that the Rivian won't adjust the range for (since it does not know they exist). I remember reading a MPG test on a Prius about ten years ago where the most aerodynamic roof box available still lowered the MPG by 14 on the highway. It was...

Same for me. Label created and that's it. I emailed LinerX and they responded really fast to say mine was shipping today (10 days after getting the tracking #). I think they pre-printed a ton of labels.

OMG no! This is not the post I want to see. I just got an R1S and have been going through the lemon process on a Model X FOR MONTHS because of it randomly opening doors, charge port, trunk, frunk, etc like it is on crack. Let's not let this virus spread.

You'll be fine. It doesn't care if there isn't a neutral on 240v connections for any electric cars (that I've heard of).

No idea, but all electric cars are like that. My Volt, which has a rudimentary computer and charging system that cannot possibly have much overhead, still uses about 400w when charging (but then basically nothing once it is done).

That's what I meant.

That link is not working.

You can, but it cannot sleep while charging.

It's identical to what Tesla's charging overhead is. The issue is not an AC to DC conversion as that is just a percentage hit of the total power input (not a set amount of consumption). It's due to the computers all running when charging, and that sucks down a decent amount of juice. Also, this...

I'll take some pics later. Some won't be pretty. :)

I drove Teslas for nearly 10 years and made quite a few adapters so I could charge at hotels, family/friend's homes, AirBNBs, etc. And since I just got my Rivian, I tested out the charger with some of my adapters to make sure it would accept 120v through the 14-50 240v connector since I saw some...

I just sent an email to Rivian customer service asking for a setting to be added to remember the charging amps based on geolocation. Teslas have had this going back to at least 2014 (when I got my first Tesla). It is vital in my garage where I have two 48 amp EV chargers but only 70 amp service...
