I've been using this while camping the whole summer - it's epic on the super hot humid nights when it's too hot in the tent for the doggo. She hops in there and has a nice cool cabin to konk out in. I've noticed in and around 20km range hit for a full night sleep 8-10hours sort of thing.
Stoked on this and ordered but the real side benefit is running this during winter when your tailgate is down = saves from rock chips and all the crap that gets shot upward with your sled in the truck bed!
Yeah for sure, although it's tucked in behind there quite well so I'd imagine to get at it probably trigger other faults on the way to "fixing the actuator" since will have to get inside the charge port?
Aug.3rd update, received truck back from service center and the following was denoted on work order... busted locking actuator was preventing DCFast from working. SC did a great job 24h turnaround and had me into the fix within 6 days of calling.

Yes for sure... and PSA: Rivian Customer Support is incredible. I must say, they go above and beyond in their attempts to help whether offering to get a rental vehicle and tow the truck or whatever. They are very dedicated to ensuring you get home/doing what needs to be done.
Unfortunately, the...
I don't disagree with you but in this case, I saw people coming and going without any issue using the chargers... wish I could point the finger at the charger but it's the truck this time around.
Darn, yeah see these sort of things aren't as big of an issue to me now but in 6 months when it's -20 Celsius driving around for 3 hours is not going to be an option, the cold will have turned the truck to a brick..
I did call the service center today and they said in the end since it finally...
FYI for sleep - from rivian service Center;
Sleep Cycle
•Leave the vehicle parked alone for 30 minutes
•Dont open the Rivian app
•Gearguard off
•Turn off Bluetooth
•Keep unplugged
•Keep all seatbelts unbuckled
•Don't leave anything on any seats
•Keep all keys away from the vehicle
Shoot! Sorry to hear that. Can you just clarify did you end of having it work at ANY point on DC fast? In my odd case it did end of working but… I am going to by the same chargers this eve and see if it will hook up now after a successful connect.
This is more equivalent to driving around in circles looking for gas for 3 hours than a “break down”. It did not break down, it ended up working in bizarre fashion.
Thank you for such a thoughtful comment though, you clearly understood the point of the post.

As someone who has both a lucid and rivian in our family.. I'm quite surprised at the amount of folks in here balking at Rivian "gaining nothing" in this mythical proposal of merging. The Lucid is an incredible machine with the upper hand in many areas (range, power, charging speed, cabin...

Oh, that’s an easy conversation .. not supposed to be lifting in that many locations. The shop that did mine advised I’d need to bring it back in 2-4weeks for a health check for any deficiencies (meaning some issues expected) but not what you’ve got going on.
