I asked the El Segundo mobile tech that came to service ours about our megawatt sliders. He said it was easier to jack them up with sliders than without. Not sure if that is specific to those exact sliders.
I chose to pay through my Rivian account. It was plug and charge. Yes it was seamless. There is financial advantage to pay through the Tesla App, if you pay a monthly fee to Tesla one can get lower rates. I probably could save a few dollars if I set it up and cancel after 29 days. I believe one...
That is my preferred method for front wheels. Turn the wheels full lock and drive forward or backward to gain access. If I was desperate I could lay down and fix a rear tire with some effort.
If I wanted to check the wheel bearings I would jack up each wheel and grab the front and back of the tire and check for play. Then grab the top and bottom and check for play. It would be nice if one could rotate the tire while it is in the air and feel for grinding, but that isn’t going to happen.
My choice would be to have a CCS Rivian and a NACS to CCS adapter and NACS to J1772 adapter.
(My current situation). In the future (5-10 years) it will be a vehicle with NACS and a J1772 to NACS adapter if needed. I have owned a couple teslas with J1772 to NACS and that was great. However, I am...
Thank you Tesla for building such a great charging network. I appreciate Rivian and Tesla working together to make this happen!
I traveled the same route a month later and having the adapter and access to most of the network was like night and day. One month ago my passenger was on the EVgo and...
I guess I asked a few hours too early. I received an email notification from UPS. The email shows a shipment from Rivian. @punjabi was correct. I am assuming it actually is my adapter since I didn’t order anything else from Rivian.
@punjabi I did find that Rivian uses UPS. I also read that the adapters were shipped directly from Tesla (not sure if this is true). I am hoping someone that received an adapter can share the shipping company and where it shipped from.
Yes, I searched but I couldn’t find the answer. Yes, I read that it took weeks between the shipping information email and the actual shipment to take place in the first wave of adapters. I already received the email to click the link to provide shipping details. (I also received the opt in email...
For me it is highly effective based on my priorities. My number one priority is to avoid driving to El Segundo, CA for service. We can usually figure out a way to leave one car at home so we avoid a rental car, loaner, random person driving their personal car for financial gain or shuttle...
Bad news. I have a friend that purchased a used R1T with an Q1 2022 original build date. They received the email for shipping information. Looks like it is based on original delivery date. Good news is they will let me borrow it for our upcoming R1S planned road trip and my A2Z adapter will be...
