Just to clarify for anyone that might stumble on this post. This is a 120v 30 amp connector common at parks and RV locations not to be confused with a 240v 30 amp "dryer plug" in a house. You can use a "normal" adapter for just about any plug as long as you limit the amps in the Rivian to 20% of...

@Dataport Check out this thread (top post of first page) for a guide on adapters for vacation rentals.

Here is a good thread on the different adapters and extension cords for charging at vacation rentals. As mentioned above, that is a 14-30 dryer outlet, you will want to make sure you reduce the amps in the Rivian to 80% of the circuit. You also want to make sure you double check it each time as...

As mentioned they go in batches and take a "send ... Watch" approach so if something isn't working right they can stop it and fix it before anything gets out of control Don't water the sc time with appointments for software updates. $500 in wifi upgrades? Why?

Love seeing that autel install, mine is still going flawless after 18 months of use around every 4 days...

ah... I remember it well, the year was 2023 and casting video to our screens was just a twinkle in some software engineers eye when the new interface and motor temps became available. I can still hear the cries of "my motors are too hot!" and "my motors are too cold!" ... The poor engineers at...

Yea, maybe they are thining the light truck version that has been around for years? Although I think that is still around as well. I would go back armed with the actual print out of the tire and model number of it. It still doesn't show up on costco when searching for the tire or the vehicle...

I remember the same argument happening when I bought my 2015 Mustang and people were losing their minds about no spare tire and just a compressor and sealant kit. This is also somewhat current for me because my daughter got her full license YESTERDAY and we just had a talk about how I never...

The tow hooks on the rivian are ok and designed for pulling. The same goes for any other vehicle with external tow hooks. Those screw in hooks that are hidden behind the bumper are not designed for vehicle recovery and can break or pull out of the threads easily. They are really just there for a...

Not only the ball hitch, but he used the tow hooks on the vehicles too. Those are made for a very specific amount of pull in a perfectly straight line on a flatbed and easily will snap with any laterall force. Unless absolutely desperate, you should go through the lower control arm triangle or...

Not really sure. I have seen some report about $.59 kwh which is about what I remember the SCs being in NJ

Just throwing out there for anyone in the northeast, Applegreen has been installing a lot of chargers and they get good reviews. We do a road trip from Northern VA to New Hampshire each summer and while they weren't ready last year, they are popping up now. I think they made a deal with New...

In VA we have the HOT (High Occupancy Toll) lanes that are free if you have 3 or more in the vehicle, but otherwise the pricing changes every 5 minutes based on demand. It's not unheard of for it to exceed $40 toll for a 20 mile ride. It does mean that if you are going to the job interview of a...

Yup, I charged on our way to Seven Springs a week ago in Hagerstown and I didn't even look at the price, I'm happy to give Rivian my money (wound up being $.42 kwh in Hagerstown on a Monday rush hour and $.36kwh in Breezewood PA on a Wednesday afternoon)

Agreed. Also no different than the toll roads around here that now have dynamic pricing based on demand. Tesla changes pricing based on demand too don't they? Some of the photos I have seen from I70 in Colorado of crazy traffic stuck in snow... it's no wonder. I'm usually a "deal with crowds...

Yea, I was worried about this myself so wound up going with the MS/2s. They are silent and did great in the snow last week. They aren't the coolest to look at, but I just couldn't justify it. The Goodyear territories in the other thread look cool and are getting good reviews, but I think the...

I wish there was a "I don't want to use the Supercharger network, but I don't have a choice sometimes. I will always go to RAN or a competitor first." option

New Defender MS/2s with the 115 load index (20 inch) crushed it in the snow on mountain roads for a ski trip this weekend and then when you hit the highway they are like riding on clouds...

Just thought I would point out that the comparison over the last three winters might be a tough to do as well. Last winter was the third warmest winter on record in the mid-atlantic and New England area. You could always have Rivian check the cooling system to make sure it is functioning...

I have noticed the paak and the fob are both more responsive now. What got me to notice it was trying to use the fob to open the frunk on the way out of the grocery store. You can do it from a lot further away now.
