I went as low as 7 miles of remaining range on a trip back to San Diego from Mammoth. Like others here I think you would have been ok. Backing off a few mph also helps in those situations - at least in my case dropping down to something like 73mph makes a pretty noticeable difference.
I think this feature could be very helpful. In my travels there have been some really bad EvGo sites where the delivered charging speeds were disappointing, chargers were installed in ways that made it hard to impossible to utilize them fully and other issues - would definitely appreciate a...
I have seen cars spin at 80mph so I believe it could have all happened just as written without the R1 rolling or anything.
I normally look out my front windscreen while driving but on the occasions I look at the screen behind the wheel it is comical to see how far off from reality the...
This is basically my worst nightmare. Rats will pee all over and that scent just attracts more rats. So even if you trap the rats chances are more rats will come along and make a home there. If this is all happening in a garage then first step is to find out how they are getting into the...
Kobra pretty much has the same experience as me, but to answer your question specifically I did not charge in Mammoth - so my comment that charging in Mammoth still sucks is maybe misleading if taken literally.
I hope other resorts do this. Doesn’t have to be free - that is nice they provide it for free but I would be fine paying just to be able to charge on trips to the mountains.
Anyone seeing their Rivian precondition an hour or more before a charging stop? Multiple times now our R1S has started to precondition 1 to 1.5 hrs before a stop. I could swear a couple times it even stopped (at least the notification cleared) before the actual charging stop. FWIW this has...
Thanks! For whatever reason that EA spot doesn’t come up for me on PlugShare but I just looked on the EA app and I see it there. Anyways appreciate the intel!
Considering the cars I drove the last 17 years before getting my R1S had a button on the end of the right hand stalk to engage cruise control it took me very little time to make this mistake and to try and engage park while doing 70mph on the interstate. It only happened that one time and the...
Personally I think the R1S is such an amazing vehicle I would be instantly suspicious of anyone selling one already and wonder if something is wrong. That said there could be plenty of reasons and I would ask why they are selling and for the VIN and in parallel I would contact the local Rivian...
Just adding some observations from two recent SD to Mammoth runs:
- the Scorpion AT hate is probably overblown for most of us. I had no problem doing 50mph in 6” of snow and slush in the “unplowed” lane of the hwy while passing countless other SUVs. Likewise no issues getting around in the...
It looks from the picture like you need to pull up closer to the pedestal. I always pull up as far as I can as if the cable has tension it is harder to seat. At least that is my experience and it holds for any plug - RAN, EA, EvGo etc.
a quality slider should absolutely protect your rig. 100% they should bolt onto the frame and the tubular sliders should deform before you bend your frame. You really only need them if you’ll be running fairly gnarly trails and possibly pivoting off rocks. That said they can look pretty...
