I personally ordered the battery tender brand products which have a 3amp charger. Id be concerned that 1.5 amp might not be enough, plus the battery tender brand seems better quality to me. Still id think your setup should 95% work. I assume you plugged the charger into ac, charger to obd...

Instead of using adapters between the receptacle and the EVSE - I've used the Tesla mobile connector which has many adapter options available to swap in to it. I have all of the adapters in the official Tesla bundle as well as the TT30 adapters from evseadapters.com...

I have a Tesla mobile charger with about a dozen various adapter such as the nema 14-30 in this example that I use. The advantage is two major benefits - first there is a temperature sensor in each of those different plugs that will lower amps or stop charging completely if the temperature is...

Great idea ... I've been thinking how to keep a spare lifepo battery in the frunk that is a tender for the stock battery. Setting those voltage for the dc to DC charger to work is what I could do. The reason I want this in the frunk is I can use manual tolls stored in the trailer hitch to open...

Thanks. Yeah I'm thinking about printing the tow operators pages and store in the frunk.

So does this go into the hitch far enough that you can put the trim cover back on? If so that's a good solution, I had assumed the storage sticker out of the hitch.

Manually opening the frunk is in p36 of tow operators guide https://rivian.com/support/article/r1-tow-operator-guide This is the tool holder I bought for the license plate the store is in a posters sig here https://www.xcdshop.com/product/lpths/ Unfortunately 30a is too large of a load for...

Great thread, thanks everyone! I had a bricked Tesla Model Y over the weekend with both batteries draining to 0% and it was a MAJOR pain in the butt to resolve while traveling. So I'm trying to be proactive with my R1S if there is ever a 12v failure. Especially on road trips or camping or such...

Ohh I see now its in the link in OP signature - buying this - THANKS

Can I please pay someone to print one of these and ship to me? This solution looks perfect!

I'd think maybe there is a simple way to have two NACS ports one for AC one for DC. Maybe someone skilled with electrical engineering could figure out how to have an AC/DC sensors to do this from one port. Either setup just isn't anything I can see a reputable company ever selling though. It...

Assume this is a nema 10-30 old dryer outlet, or 10-50 stove. If it's a 10-50 might be simple to change to a 6-50 receptacle. Tesla portable charger has a plug to work with the 10-30. If you don't have that you can probably buy an evse charger with a 10-30 plug. Rivians charger kind of sucks and...

There aren't any EV chargers that are approved to work on an extension cord. I'd probably use one temporarily such as traveling. I would not use one for normal regular charging. You lose the safety of the heat sensor in the plug. Also add resistance (thus heat) as well as more points of failure...

I'm all for using the Rivian as a backup in this example. I just don't understand the preference of spending 5-10k extra to have that be through the CCS port instead of a generator inlet.

I'd think offroaders are still wondering where that full size spare fits in the R1S.

Had that 3rd row on our first Y but now only have a 5 seater. Its useful if you have kids under 7 or so. Would have preferred to get it again - just wasnt available with the huge discounts I got on the second Y. But after that age of 7 or something, or with any adults its a laughably useless...

R2 looks more boxy so even if some measurements are similar or bigger with the Y I'd think the R2 is ultimately a tad larger in term of practical space. Will be interesting to see, yes this is a legit comparison. I always hated the Model Y - R1S comparisons as they're such different sized...

Was planning to reserve the second it opened - I got confused on PT vs CT and reserved about 90 minutes after it opened. How fast will Rivian ramp production? Would think its much faster than R1 but who knows. Also not sure what trims they will release at first. Would make sense for them to...

V2H charger could power your house until the car is out of power for what 5-10k+? It doesn't replace any of those generator backup power solutions because it's only until the vehicle is dead. Then your driving around trying to charge it. Interlock kit with a generator plug for a $100 or so can...

Different ways of looking at this. Yes there's what you post but there's other possible views. Could argue Tesla built the superchargers to allow them to push EV sales and that's resulted in them successfully dominating the EV market. Also Tesla opening SC to other brands might get them more...
