Tesla designed their cars to do this, please reread @DuoRivians posts on this as they are well written. After 20+ pages of messages, you still have not gotten this point yet...? NACS refers to the plug, not the car. Yet you and the other Tesla/Elon stans can't wrap this idea around your head.

You say you hold a degree but lack basic electrical circuit knowledge. It's a freshman level course. So, no, what you claim does not count. But you get points for trying. Might want to brush up on your NFPA 70 if you're going to claim to be a EE.

Ignorance is bliss I guess.

100% disagree. It isn't an apples to oranges comparison, just an analogy that might help you understand why having AC and DC on the same pins is a safety risk. Despite what you might think of handshakes, there is no fail safe with them and that's why they need to be isolated. Would you attempt...

That isn't how electricity works. Try plugging your phone into a wall socket by cutting the USB/Whatever-Apple-Uses cord and plugging the pos/neg wires into the outlet. Current won't flow into your phone's battery until a handshake is made, right? Seriously though, do not do this as it will...

It's detailed multiple times in this thread. Tesla has AC/DC on the same pins.

From reading some of your responses in here, it appears that you are well inexperienced with capital accounting amongst other things. There is a lot more that goes into installing a charging station than the initial cost. Tesla is here to make money and it has been well pointed out by several...

I was on the phone with tech service on Tuesday because they've been hounding me about this recall and trying to find a good date where mobile service could come to me or when they're open for me to come to them. When we were done they asked if I had any issues and I brought this up and they...

"Each wheel is milled to order out of a solid piece of forged aerospace grade aluminum" Do you mean cast aluminum? Or was it forged into a block? Yes, there is a massive difference. Also since there is no such thing as aerospace/aircraft/military grade aluminum, what alloy is this made from...

I've filled the form out a few times thinking maybe there was a form submission error. Crickets here too. Nothing in spam folder either. I'm in the same boat as you. Nearest installer is about 20 minutes away, after that they're all at least an hour or more. Guess I'll have to reach out as well...

Sounds like I took delivery around the same time frame as him. I had zero issues, aside from my guide never talking to me (and still no word on some questions)... The graphics for the insurance step does steer you towards picking Rivian Insurance (they were awesome to work with, but they aren't...

I'm sure the 21's will do fine in snow. We get plenty of snow here and haven't had the need to switch to snow tires on my current vehicle, just running some Michelin Defenders. We don't get much powder though, it's usually wet snow and ice. I guess that's the biggest thing when it comes to snow...

I changed my config from 20" to 21" after the estimated window emails were sent last weekend. Got assigned a guide yesterday around noon, got the "Please review and confirm your configuration" email about an hour ago. My hope is to get aftermarket 20" wheels and tires later.

I actually had this conversation with a friend that is getting an EV this year because our energy provider raised rates on June 1st. Currently we are both in what they call the "Summer Rate" with these rates that do not include transmission or other fees: The actual rates during summer months...

I spoke with Rivian CS via Chat last week to ask about a demo drive event in Michigan and see if I could get an invite to it (it was full). During the chat, I asked about the call and was told that they were only reaching out to people that still had OC interior in their configuration. Also...

I've worked for tier 1 and 2 suppliers for a long time now, I understand what Rivian is up against and I feel for the suppliers that have Rivian in their location(s) "assisting". I do keep checking to see if the guide gets added on the site, and I guess I technically have his email since I did...

I have an Oct-Dec 2022 delivery window and noticed about 2-3 weeks ago that I had an assigned guide. On Rivian's website, once logged on, if you click on the "?" in the bottom left of the browser right above your initials a pop up for assistance should appear. I noticed that I had two tabs, one...
