Thanks for running through the exact steps - I needed to hear this for an upcoming trip!
What about parts of the country where the rate is greater than .50? Does it make more sense to just plug and play?
I wonder if anyone following this thread has installed one of these:

If so, curious if it changed their VD.
I'm with @Tim-in-CA - this VD is literally taking away my excess solar production and it's frustrating.
I'm getting tired of the VD. I leave my R1S plugged in and I see it pulling electricity multiple times a day which blows my mind. Taking away from our solar efficiency for the rest of the home.
Is anyone willing to make a step by step YT video to help folks walk through and replicate the hack?
It takes maybe 5-10 more minutes of work planning out a trip around charging stations where bathrooms will be located. Convenient, not quite. An earth shattering amount of time added to the planning phase? Absolutely not ...
Absolutely not. The Gen1 is overbuilt mechanically which matters the most to me. Sure it doesn't have the new cameras/sensors...
Holding the Gen1 for 8-10 years.
You are spot on.
I think this is why I'm getting better efficiency in low Regen on the highway.
I also got tints all around the vehicle and maybe I'm driving "less aggressive".
Time will tell.
I have an odd feeling that Rivian is going to strongly consider 3rd party adapters at this point in time. Tesla would benefit from this as well...given its revenue generation for them based on each charge versus how much they revenue they are generating Rivian for per unit...
