Just set the brake regen mode to Standard instead of High and you should be good. Standard approximates what a Tesla does and it is plenty. Still allows for one pedal driving unless you like driving very aggressively.

Don't charge the vehicle past 90% when coming down from a mountain. If the battery is full, it can't regen.

I have ATs as well, but haven't driven in conserve mode yet. How much does conserve mode help on a long trip?

Interesting that Mercedes is frustrated with EA as well…

Your explanation doesn’t really make sense. All EVSEs (like the juicebox) tell the vehicle it is connected to what the maximum current draw it can output. So even if the Rivian‘s settings were the default 48A, the Rivian would have tried to draw only 40A since that’s what the juicebox would have...

Looks like a great solution!

I'm just a bit disappointed in the RAN expected coverage for 2023. The following is not a lot and doesn't cover anything in CA, which must be a lot of customers. "We plan to add multiple routes in the next few months, including Southeast Michigan to the Upper Peninsula, Portland to Central and...

https://driveteslacanada.ca/news/mercedes-launching-new-ev-charging-network-to-kick-off-in-north-america-this-year/ Partnering with Chargepoint (so they might actually work). 2,500 stalls at 400 sites within 4 years. So about 6 stalls per site on average.

Sure I’d be interested in this.

I recently install both chargers, the Rivian at my house and the Tesla at a friend’s house. The Rivian is OK, but definitely a first generation design. It doesn’t have a good way to lock down the hardwired cable, for instance. It is also too expensive now. The Tesla is a third generation design...

Just to correct and add additional detail. First, you only need three conductors. Two hots, and one ground. The hots are identical (connect to each side of a two pole breaker), so you’d typically just buy black wire for both. To use 6 gauge wire, you have to run it in conduit, and it has to be...

Prices are going up a bit for RIVN and TSLA finally. Most end of year selling might finally be over. These prices are so low that a cautious investor would wait until it starts moving up more significantly than now before buying again. And don’t sell!!

That’s a feature all EVSE (wall and portable chargers) have. They tell the vehicle what the max amps that they can deliver, so the vehicle will only draw up that amount. So you don’t have to tell the Rivian what it can charge at when connecting to any EVSE. Theres really only two times you’d...

That is a common perception, yes. However Tesla still to this day does maintain a lead in making high volume EVs with industry leading margins. They also outsell everyone else by a wide margin (except in China). But the competition really isn't other EVs, that's a false narrative. Tesla...

Until they suspend it. They only started paying the dividend again sometime last year I believe.

This thread is too funny. I'm invested in TSLA and on those forums, they also dump on Elon since the stock price is declining. And I come here, and you guys are doing the same. The reality is a bit more nuanced. In the 2007-2009 recession, US auto sales declined something like 33%. That is a...

Because it was a 110 mile return trip and traffic info is useful. The real answer is that it was my wife who was using it without me in the vehicle, and it kept trying to redirect her to charging stops. I would have turned off the nav the first time it did that to me... But the point is that...

It’s my wife’s vehicle, so I’ve only driven it a few times. After the 2022.47 update, it drives great. Kinda funny, I started off driving it with max regen because of course that’s what I would want coming from a Tesla. But it is actually too powerful. The standard regen is more Tesla-like and...

Went on a longish trip today. On the way back, it kept trying to route me to charging stations because I had set a route that would have finished with a somewhat low number of miles (just under 50 miles) remaining. It was quite annoying, I just wanted the nav to route me home, not to chargers I...

So I got the 2022.47.0 update last night and I can confirm that the ride is much improved on my R1S. No more weird dynamics on the freeway.
