So I just installed a Tesla Gen 3 wall connector with the J1772 plug. Ran it with the garage at 90 F + and cable and plug were pretty warm. Should never be too warm to hold into but it will get warm. I may place a small portable cooling fan in garage blowing on the truck and charge port just to...

Never included my spare tires in any rotations. Always kept it as a brand new spare in case of an emergency. Much simpler to rotate tires that way front to back same side always

Good point in fact I think it safe to say the majority of owners do not use this forum and never post and love their vehicles. Forums tend to be all the negatives. My R1t is fantastic and I have owned a large variety of ICE and Ev’s date.

I would push for the compressor to be replaced. 99% sure sound level will correct itself with new compressor as it is a high rpm sound. Guessing the original manufacturer of the compressor may have improperly filled oil level. Example if you replace a compressor on any ICE vehicle you have to...

A good article on charging an EV with a small generator https://www.elephantenergy.org/charge-ev/

So we do not miss anything the vehicle will charge when you plug into household power correct just not with the generator? looking at your generator specs it claims less than 3% total harmonic distortion. Not bad for a generator. wondering if Rivian can review the error log for your vehicle...

So generators are known for not outputting clean sine waves. Possibly this is occurring in this case? would need a scope to verify I know my whole house Generac put out a distorted square sign wave that my EV’s do not like

So I do believe hydrogen has a chance but only if we are able to perfect the fuel cell. So it will still be an EV but fueled by a hydrogen powered fuel cell But today running an ice vehicle with a 10,000 psi hydrogen fuel tank probably will never make it. As said previously infrastructure is...

Toyota is suggesting by 2025 or 2026 they will release solid state battery vehicles. I truly dislike the large manufacturers that continually make promises way out there knowing most people will forget what was promised in a few years when they do not deliver Tesla and Rivian stay relatively...

If the main panel is in the garage a few feet from where the wall connector will be I would probably have the electrician just run a 1 1/4” empty conduit to a junction box near your blue circle. Then the hard part is done and later basically just need to pull wire and add a breaker in the main...

The only place you should even consider aluminum wire is the utility service feed to your meter on the house. They will typically use aluminum either underground or overhead. Your prices quoted seem high unless we are 150’ from your main panel to the garage I personally would have a 100 amp...

Here is one of the deionized water and vermiculite extinguishers designed for lithium battery fires https://www.proboat.com/2022/09/licell-fire-extinguishers/

So I have never had a breakdown in over 55 years of driving and have clocked hundred of thousand of driving miles but whenever I obtained a new vehicle and I have had many I would take a week and get comfortable with the vehicle handling and it’s reliability. If you wanted to be super safe

My suggestion is to replace the individual in charge of Rivian customer service as they clearly do not understand. Expectations of vehicle owners or what good customer service entails. Poor customer service does negatively affect sales!!

Yeah too bad the grab handles are not mounted on the front windshield pillars where they would actually be useful. My wife is 4’11” and using kneel mode in the beginning helped some until we installed the EVSport running boards. Now kneel mode is turned off and she is able to step right in.

Support allowing user to move clock and temp in front of driver But let’s also allow driver to position that info anywhere on the front screen for their comfort and ease of use

Some users are having issues with the Lectron Tesla to j1772 adapters. But what should happen is the Rivian should change to red on the charge port for 5-10 seconds after you plug in to charge at home while the Tesla wall connector attempts to soft handshake with the truck. The red chargeport...

So to clarify the Lectron 48 amp all in one Tesla to J1772 adapter will work ok for occasional use. When I emailed Lectron they confirmed the 40 amp model has UL review but possibly not UL approval. When I inquired about the 48 amp model they sent me the 40 amp data again. Guessing the 48 amp...

I have communicated with Lectron about adapter ratings and if the device is UL rated as there are no labels on the adapter. They are not much help

I am using the small one piece adapter claims it’s rated for 48 amps I am ok with my adapter getting to 100 and even 110 degrees F on a warm day. Typically electrical components exceeding 120F need to be carefully examined and watched. Should never get to the point you cannot touch and leave...
