  1. Lectron vortex adapter (level 3 supercharger to CCS)

    I'd expect it will be an (overpriced) option to new buyers in Q3. I can't see any chance Rivian providing them for free to current owners. From Rivian's June 2023 email: " Starting as early as Spring 2024, we’ll offer an NACS adapter that allows you to charge at Tesla charging sites. "...
  2. Lectron vortex adapter (level 3 supercharger to CCS)

    Definitely will need both adapters, according to the Lectron FAQ. Maybe someone will come up with an adapter that works with Level 2 and Level 3. From Lectron: Will I be able to use the Vortex Plug to access level 2 charging at Tesla Destination Chargers or Mobile Connectors? No, it won’t...
  3. Lectron vortex adapter (level 3 supercharger to CCS)

    A Tesla FAQ mentions: (https://www.tesla.com/support/non-tesla-supercharging#charging-cost-non-tesla) ( I prob won't be able to justify a membership, maybe for a month if I was going on a long trip. ) How much does charging cost for non-Tesla vehicles? Pricing for non-Tesla drivers reflects...
  4. Lectron vortex adapter (level 3 supercharger to CCS)

    Anyone pre order a lectron vortex adapter? Seems like a decent backup option if it works at most superchargers. I think we expect a rate premium at Tesla chargers and both Tesla and rivian will need to allow this to work. So some concerns about how soon this will actually be an option...
  5. Gear Guard actually uses quite a bit of battery

    I loose that much in cool weather (ie 40F) whether gear guard is on or off.
  6. Rivian patents “Energy Storage Device” (Tesla Powerwall-like home energy storage system?)

    I also have an Emporia Vue system. Came with clamp on sensors that you clamp on specific circuits in your breaker box, along with a transmitter. Also incluced senors for the main power feed. So you can check your clothes dryer, refrig, hvac, freezer circuits, and get a pretty good idea...
  7. Rivian patents “Energy Storage Device” (Tesla Powerwall-like home energy storage system?)

    What do you see as the "invention" Rivian is claiming ? I guess this application will get granted, but I hope not. Not claiming any kind of battery technology or storage capability, but listing a lot of indicators and sensors and status lights and connections to computers or devices, almost...
  8. Rivian mentioned in Michael Connelly's new book

    Just finished Michael Connelly's (Bosch, Lincoln Lawyer, Blood Work, etc,) latest book "Resurrection Walk". Kinda neat that a Rivian was mentioned briefly in one sequence late in this crime novel, apparently a Rivian is not a great choice if you want to be inconspicuous......
  9. Is the Blowing Rock RAN operational?

    Used it on Tuesday. Pretty expensive. Bought a pound of fudge at the ice cream shop, two jackets at the Columbia store, and some jigsaw puzzles at the toy store. Sigh......
  10. UPDATED RANT: Rivian Service Centers are a poorly managed drain on the company

    I'm beyond frustrated with Rivian Service. My truck has been to the Atlanta SC 3 times to get the A/C and fast charging fixed. Needs to go back again, the A/C is growing weaker and fast charging no longer works, again. Small data set, but seems their success rate on repairs is quite...
  11. My 1 Year Statistics @ 22K Miles

    I wish Rivian would explain how these numbers are calculated. I've found the trip odometer efficiency numbers not useful. I have a separate power meter for charging my truck, and based on how much power goes through that meter, and also the KWHr reported by my rivian wall charger, I...
  12. $105 CarPlay/Android Auto Display Option

    There are many similar products on amazon in the $100 to $200 range. Pages worth examples. The second one below includes mirror link and a back up camera, cause we need cameras... example Amazon.com: Cartreque Portable Wireless Car Stereo, Compatible with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, 7...
  13. Winch holder on hitch

    I have a 3ton floor jack from HF. Just fine. Seems very solid. (But would use Anything to avoid using the scissor jack that comes with the truck again. )
  14. iPhone 15 Pro & charging pad not working

    Long standing problem. i had an iphone 11 pro when i got my truck last year, it would charge with perfect placement, but wasn't really usable, too hard to place perfectly when driving. My wife had the 12 pro, it would not charge. Upgraded to the 14 pro. It won't charge. I have a 3d...
  15. Question for all N. Carolina Rivian owners ...

    I live in South Carolina, but just a few miles south of charlotte. My truck has been to the Atlanta service center 3 times. Each time I've needed to get the A/C fixed, along with different other stuff, alignment, fast charging stopped working once. 250 miles each way,so its a full day...
  16. Customer ownership survey

    I received an unexpected call from Rivian on Tuesday (yesterday), saying they were aware of some of the service center issues and had addressed them. Promised my next visit would be much improved. I appreciated the call very much, hope things do continue to turn around.
  17. Is the Rivian-branded Level 2 charger the best available for home charging?

    Its pretty expensive now, mine works fine, do 95% of my charging at home, decent rivan app integration, we use our charger to charge an ev6 also. Wish I could export my charging history, and it was clear about which vehicle was charged.
  18. Is the Rivian-branded Level 2 charger the best available for home charging?

    Emporia has some other neat stuff you can put into your breaker box to track all kinds of power usage in your home.
  19. Is the Rivian-branded Level 2 charger the best available for home charging?

    Depends on how you define need, I can add 25 miles range/hr with the Rivian charger (~ 11 kw). My understanding is the 220V plugs max ~ 6-7kw. I only have 8 hours at nite to get the low EV charging rate, so occasionally matters for me, though the day charging rate is still not terrible.
  20. 5 tire rotation experiences?

    Yeah, I did this once. Old guy, just not that much fun jacking up a 7000 lb truck with the jack in the wheelwell, which itself is kind of a puzzle to get unwrapped and wrapped back up correctly when you're done. Bought a (semi) real jack last time the 3 ton floor jacks were on sale at...
