Tesla chargers in the Carolina's have been $0.54/kwhr. without a membership, but have only done it twice . If you were goiing from 20% to 80%, expect above $40 at that price. Public charging my R1 is noticeably more than what I would have paid to fuel my previous Outback for the same miles...

In Rivian's 2021 IPO documents, they gave the impression that selling used vehicles was part of their business plan. (Rivian always words things so you can interpret different ways though.) For example, there are several statements like this: Complementing our consumer vehicles, our suite of...

I've not seen reports showing 24 usage from the charger viewpoint, measuring kwhr used by a charger plugged into the truck that didn't need a charge. Would be interesting to see other data points. I will try it this week. It would not surprise me if R1 does some extra things that...

Emporia offers a few "permanent" options to do this, not too hard to install, depending on your breaker box, and if you have more than 1 breaker box, etc. A system to monitor 8 circuits is $125, 16 is about $200. They also make a popular EV charger, sell smart plugs that track...

Sure, 815,000 is high, I don't see it as wildly inconcievable. Doesn't look like the appointment number is meaningful to us. Mine are pretty random. If an appointment = any action that requires some physical action by a rivian tech as a fix or customer visit, after the truck leaves the...

I'm at 9 so far..... Would be more if I was anywhere close to a service center, have a few issues pending that I live with, need alignment, I have to manually force the powered tonneau to open each time, AC is working , but weak, overdue on recommended checkups (recommended every 7500...

Mine definitely went up a LOT in July in South Carolina. (Charlotte meteorologist said it was the 5th hottest July in last 150 years ) My EV billing rate is about half my non EV Rate. Month Non-EV KWH EV KWH Total 4/16-5/17 1181 635 1816 ($192) 5/17-6/18 1195 749 1944 ($199) 6/18-7/16...

Veering off topic a little, it will be interesting to see how the trade in market shakes out for R1's. The original IPO, with a little reading in between the lines, gave me the impression Rivian wanted to be the trade in buyer of choice, and reselling used R1's was part of their market...

" $899.37. How does this amount compared to gas cars? " Seems more appropriate to compare to a pickup or large SUV. Simple first order approximation: You don't save much or lose much if you are only charging at public level 3 stations vs refueling with gasoline. (However, if I charge at...

In my mind, reliability is far from acceptable. (I get it was a new company, new vehicle, still disappointing)

Fixing items correctly the first time would help a lot also. Although I like my truck a lot, I suspect the big problem is still poor reliability and poor "repairibility". Just too many vehicles need fixing, and repairs are complicated. It took 4 visits over a year an a half to get to where...

My wife was with me the first time I used my Lectron adapter. After watching me struggle to get it off the supercharger cable, there is no chance she would ever use it..... I'll try it again next time I am close to a supercharger, FWIW, this was the response I got from Lectron: (attaching...

I received mine 5.13. Later in the manual the buttons are referred to differently, and correctly.

Now I want to find what I could get for my R1 so I could upgrade. Sigh...... Hopefully this drives some interest in the models, and is a significant cost cut for Rivian. Fingers crossed. "... Large and Max packs now have 2170 cells with 53g of density rather than 50g" Definitely nit...

Good point. The Rivian mapping lets you know which ones you can use and if an adapter is required.. I didn't try extensively, but it looks like non - compatible chargers don't show on the Rivian maps. Another good point, when I restarted the charging session while troubleshooting I did...

If I download your new design, once uploaded (Thanks), I think I'd like to use the existing power supply rather than usb cables.

I assume the "Ultimate Charging Power Kit V2" works with this ok? Will it be in stock soon? Printed and happliy used your orignal. design from long ago (posted a "make" on your printables upload), still in service, though it does come slightly loose occasionally, likely because my cable...

Thanks! I had watched State of Charge's review a while back, but had not watched the 2nd more recent video with the CEO. I wasn't aware of the recall till reading here yesterday. I'm not 100% sure what I tried first. Had the instructions. I think I tried it the right way first, but...

I agree, it seems expensive for what you get, but it fits with my experience I paid $1565 2 years ago for just the circuit part, in South Carolina, just a few miles south of Charlotte. Back then, we were still coming out of Covid, electricians pretty busy, supposedly wire was expensive...

Update 7.4.24: I've used my Lectron ccs to supercharger adapter again, this time in Fort Mill, SC. Prior, I traded emails with Lectron, who promised to replace my adapter if I could not remove it. This time the adapter worked completely as promised and expected. Good charge rates...
