I saw in the original thread that someone said the electrical draw from this unit was like charging an iPhone. I find that kind of hard to believe. Can you provide any real world insight on the range you would expect to lose as a result of leaving this plugged in? Thank you!
Basic question. I'm trying to get the specific locations of the small number of Rivian Adventure Network chargers that are actually out there and active. I'm going to the following site...
https://rivian.com/experience/charging
Try as I might I can't seem to get a specific address (zooming...
It's pretty clear from the posture that Tesla is taking that they are planning to do the minimum possible to get access to the funding. Their little stunt with 'open sourcing' their charging solution (about 10 years too late for it to be the standard). The tiny OEM arrangements they are making...
Life is too short to waste a minute of your life on trying to 'teach a producer of goods a lesson.' You've made your decision, you have good reasons for making that decision. Cancel your order, get off the forums and move on to more important things in your life.
My 2 cents.
The tire shop should be able to do it. I've done it a couple of times now. I went to Les Schwab. The only thing you might have to advise them on is making sure that it's in 'Tire Change Mode' before they start the tire change. The procedure is basically put it to off road, highest setting...
Ya I remember that ice storm. The Rivian would have been one of the only vehicles on the road with these tires. You are absolutely right about the November to March limit for studs though, so I think studless is the right call.
Sure here is a quick update...
1) Traction - Pretty much God mode.
2) Noise - Noisy (because of the studs)
3) Range - Strangely very little impact. Not sure why.
Overall. Total overkill for Seattle area as I already knew. Go studless if you have the option would be my recommendation. I'll...
I took delivery of my R1S back in September and did end up keeping the underbody shield option (mainly because there wasn't really good information available at the time to make an informed decision) I'd been burnt in the past by not taking certain factory options that proved to be structurally...
At around 330 in this video the Rivian creeps forward unexpectedly. Can't determine from video whether its operator error or something else but interesting recent video example of someone with low seat time in a rivian experiencing something similar.

Yes if you are looking for miles per gallon here a generator probably isn't your best bet. This is purely about range extension where there is no charging.
Alright I managed to get this working. Here is a report back on the setup/results. So if you wanted to replicate this exact setup you would need the following...
Honda EU2200i
Honda EU2200i Companion
Parallel Cables
Adapter
Ground Bonding Plug
Peak output of this setup (with the generators...
After several false starts with the wrong accessories I should be receiving the one that I need to make this work tomorrow. I'll do a detailed report back on actual charging amount, fuel consumption etc. if I get it to work. Note I believe the Honda EU 2200i will in fact fit under the tonneau...
A few months ago I was working with a local prototyping firm on some potential aftermarket accessories for Rivian. One of the areas I explored (briefly) was making some brackets that would allow for the attachment of the AMP Research running boards. As part of that discussion I did phone...
Has anyone changed the tire on their R1S yet? If so I have a few questions for you...
-Do you need a single jack puck or multiple jack pucks
-What jack pucks did you buy? (Please link)
-What jack did you use (I don't have the spare tire so I have to purchase a jack)
-What is the torque spec...
No light at all at this point. I should try to plug it into the 120v outlet I suppose just to isolate the issue some more, but I was more interested in how it would operate in parallel through the 30A outlet on the companion generator. I powered my home (or at least a good chunk of it) with...
Quick update on my experiment with the Honda EU 2200 generators in parallel. So far no luck. I'd ordered the adapter from the OP's link (or something similar) but failed to notice that it had a different connector than the one my generator uses. Ordered this one instead and at least it fits...
