Agreed. seems exactly in the Alexa wheelhouse.
If you consider an alternate solution, Tailwind is another option, a MyQ competitor, but also includes a sensor in your car, Bluetooth connected to your phone, so door closes if you drive away, or opens when you get close to home. Works...
I received a fairly long (and with an optional set of additional questions) "ownership" survey from Rivian. (The email was signed by Tony Caravano)
Some of the questions were easy for me to answer with high scores, performance, interior design, exterior design, specific driving experiences...
Yeah... replaced mine at the sc last week. I certainly hoped it would be fixed. Picked it up, drove home yesterday. Still got the error messages several times. Getting these just kills my confidence that I can take a long trip and not have fast charging problems at some point...
Seems like the service experience can be really bad now, like 3rd tier airline bad . My truck has been in the SC three times. Was 6 days after dropoff before they started work on it the last visit. I had expressly, repeatedly asked to schedule my appoint when they had the parts and could...
To hit 50,000 in 2023, Q3 and Q4 only need to match Q2. I and, I think investors, will be quite disappointed if Rivian doesn't find a way show quarter by quarter growth going forward.
50,000- 9,395 - 13,992 = 26,613 Vehicles needed to be produced in H2 to meet 50k target
26613/2 = 13,307...
Could make a case as a bad idea, in the spirit of minimizing GHG emissions. Making a case for only installing stuff to meet foreseeable reasonable needs and also minimizing the peak loads on power generation, As It's the peak loads that are often met with fossil fuel power.
But each case...
I also put in a Rivian charger on a 60amp circuit, copper 6 ga wire. Very short one.
- I think it will be rare that you will need 2 chargers. We have 2 EV's never have needed to charge both at the same time . Rivian charger cable is long enough to reach both spaces.
- My power...
Noticed in the Circle K Charge app that Circle K now has fast charge stations in Rock Hill SC (south of Charlotte), in Gastonia (west of Charlotte), and in Boone, NC. Also one a little further north near wytheville, va. I used the one in rock hill to go from about 20% to 35% at a...
I get this every time I drive now. Initially was occasional when I first started driving. . Took the truck to the SC. Replaced the wiring harness. Now I get error every time I drive at random times for a few seconds. Had the tech look at it when I had the recall fix at my house...
Article from a few months ago, but just read it. More detail about EV tire design than I've see before.

For example....."Rob Williams, Hankook Tire's senior vice president, told us that in very round...
A Tee? A R1T?
I just listened to a recent Rivian investor event, Rivian's CFO mentioned Rivian would start opening their chargers next year, so Rivian could get federal reimbursement for up to 80% of the install cost. Also mentioned the Rivian chargers were one of the few made in the US...
My guess was the RAN chargers wouldn't get much use from Tesla owners, if Rivian opened up their network. Other EV brands are getting common, but still I would guess the Blowing Rock RAN chargers could keep up for the next year or two. I would like to see Rivian open their (nearly non...
i think you're right, reports were only 3 were on earlier.
I didn't look closely at all 6, just that only three had the light bars on top turned on. The map showed 6 though. My understanding is that the RAN chargers are for Rivian only. If that's still so, three is overkill...
Stopped at the Rivian chargers in Blowing Rock, NC today (4/2/23). Three of the chargers were on, was able to charge my R1T from 42% to 80% in 25 minutes. Did not notice until later that these chargers are showing up on the R1's map. Peak charge rate was about 216 kw/hr, but slowed to...
Attached garage. Shares two full walls with the house and there's a heated room above the garage. The garage is not heated, but stays 15 deg or above outdoor temps when it drops below freezing, most of March has been pretty nice here, have already mowed my yard 3 times, have a hatched...
I tried to do a rigorous test of my R1T's energy losses in March. Set the trip counter on Mar 1. Tracked charging session summaries on the R1T display, data from my utility meter (dedicated to the EV charger), and data from the Rivian app. Drove 1070 miles in 30 days. Charged at home...
I was told by Rivian there is no Rivian approved option in Charlotte, was similarly disappointed.
The shop in Hickory is approved for body work and told me they could alignments. I ended up taking my R1T back to Atlanta for alignment, as I needed to get the A/C worked on also. The Hickory...
