Yes, both the Rivian and the Tesla connectors are limited to 32A due to their thinner/lighter weight cables. 32A should be more than enough for most people. If you can find the older Gen 1 Tesla mobile connector that shipped with S/X before the Model 3 came out, those will do 40A, but also take...
Whoops, I mistakenly linked to the 40A..I have the 60A mini. And yes they sell the larger older design as well for less (and there is one from Lectron on amazon as well). I really like the teslatap mini because it's small and doesn't waste space, plus it's rock solid.
Tesla is so bad at keeping...
I miss KASH and heading up every week for flying lessons before the program with work was cancelled. My September might be crazy but if I am free I might try to go
I use the Tesla Mobile Connector. It supports the most NEMA plugs by far and I have most of them. Plus a TeslaTap Mini so it works with the Rivian, along with any other Tesla AC charger I roll up to. And it's only $200.

Yeah I was assuming plugging the truck into a portable generator. You have a residential installed generator with an electrical panel, you should have no issue.
@Hopper it's just a repair plug with ground and neutral tied. Can plug it to one of the unused outlets on a portable generator.
Thank you for this reminder! I just signed up to demo my Rivian at our local event in VT.
Funny story, last year we were thinking of moving to VT and driving through several towns on a saturday to get a feel for them. Pulled through the little town of Bethel which was busy and decided to stop...
Most EVs won't charge off a generator because they test to see if neutral is bonded to ground. You may need to connect the two (Carefully...be sure it is neutral and not hot!). I actually carry a small plug that does just that.
You should get used to something I do quite often which is racing...
I'm just seeing this. Hoolllly what a mess! Did we not all learn this would not work when Apple tried to do the same with their charge pad than retracted it? At least I know where to go when I need a bunch of Litz wire.
It's incredibly useful for a forum to have a new england general discussion thread. It really builds a sense of community and adds to the value of the forum. Especially if it's a place where folks can drift a bit in conversation
Well my application number was number 00008! :p
Is there anything else out there that qualifies yet? It's probably going to the first 200 rivians in the state, whose owners even know the rebate exists. That might take a while!
My check arrived last week as well! It's real!
Note it is actually issues by the Center for Sustainable Energy in San Diego.
So that was total TEN weeks from contact to payment.
For the inspection questions, I had no issues with inspection here at Jack's Gas in Medford who has also inspected my Tesla no sweat. They didn't even try to jack the Rivian, probably because it was two days old and no one actually cares about these inspections anyway. When I had my tesla, I...
Oh wow, yes, then we do have the same problem, and they will have two in at the same time for it (tell them to look at the forest green one...) It's not suspension because I've jumped up and down at all four corners and it's silent. I figured it might be the hydraulics rubbing against the pack...
I dropped my truck off at the service center today and it's the first time I saw any other rivian color. And of course the reds were right there at the entrance to make me regret my FG choice...I knew I would absolutely love the red when I saw it in in person!
Car shows at Larz are so much fun, and I haven't been in many years. Not sure what my schedule is in August yet but I'll consider it.
Same? Does it sound like a squeaky mattress with the torque pedal? I just found someone on the Discord with the same thing as well and they had to replace his...
I dropped my truck off at Chelsea today get my driveshaft squeak looked at and a few other niggles. Awesome reception and friendly service advisor. Not a single space in the lot it is absolutely packed with trucks! And my first opportunity to see all the other colors in person! They all look...
