Yes, I experienced this issue last week. I scheduled charging to happen between midnight and 10am. At 8:30am walked up to it to see how it was doing. The vehicle woke up and then started its charging session. It appears that scheduling might work if the car wakes up to see that it has...

I rely on a lot of CarPlay functionality primarily from apps that dont often get mentioned in these discussions nor are likely to ever be re-implemented by Rivian. I’ve moved on by just adding a 3rd party, 3rd screen to my dash which supports wireless CarPlay. The solution does have some...

No, it’s 240volt. NEMA 14-30 is actually same pin configuration and voltage as a NEMA 14-50. Both are single phase 240 volt.… (two hots, a neutral and a ground). At 80% for continuous draw, the NEMA 14-50 is rated up to 50amp*0.8 * 240v = 9.6kW. NEMA 14-30 is rated 30amp*0.8*240v=5.8kW.

While definitely true, pragmatically speaking, unlike with the many gauges available for a NEMA 5-15 extension cord, it’s hard to find any commercially manufactured 14-50 extension cords that aren’t 6 gauge.

I use an extensions cords for two of my regular destinations to power my mobile Rivian EVSE. A couple of tips: As pointed out earlier, a 50’ 14-50 is very heavy and large. 75lbs sounds about right. I carry a 50’ 14-30 cable with 14-30 to 14-50 adapter which is one third the weight and size...

Where does one go to get this protective film installed? What’s a typical price? Does typically using an ice scraper in the winter rule this out? Getting my windshield replaced next week for $1700-$1900, and hoping to mitigate this in the future.

A simple deburring tool will make any print edge as smooth as you need. $10-$20 on Amazon

@mcjohnson the 15 minute performance window looks like this and is accessed by holding down the left buttons on the steering wheel. ... guessing you know where battery temp is.

Ambient temp isn’t particularly relevant to efficiency, especially recently in the Midwest with the large fluctuations. It’s the battery temp that matters that you want to be paying attention to. my battery may still read in the 40’s when the high for the day is 70. When it’s cold I can...

Nice work Todd! I like the locking pin idea. Simple and perfect. Really enjoying your other published 3D models for the Rivian, in particular, the center console organizer, under seat tissue box, and sunglasses holder for front vent.

I use conserve mode on the highway for long trips where the drive is more or less constant speed, i.e. no regen. For In town driving or trips from home where I don’t care about range, I use all-purpose.

What you are describing sounds like similar concerns I had since taking possession of my R1S in November. First time EV owner…taking possession of an EV just as weather turns very cold and not experiencing the vehicle in warm weather, meanwhile learning that the guess-o-meter is incredibly...

I tested out using a nimbus Bluetooth controller hooked up to my iPhone while mirroring through Replica which was Google casting to the R1S. It works, but visual response lag was such that it's probably not going to work for arcade games. Also attempted Apple TV downloaded movies. It errored...

Thanks for the tip. That will be very useful, not only in the Rivian use case, but also where AirPlay doesnt exist. Not really my use case, but I’m curious to try out a blue tooth game controller (looks like a PS4 controller), to control games on iPhone that are projected onto the big...
