Yeah, I would have bought it for my Rivian had it been available when I got mine. That Powershare capability is a nice addition too but that currently only works with the Tesla Cybertruck.

The CT does indeed have a bidirectional charger. It's how they can do the Powershare thing. 11.5 kW AC out of the truck's NACS port (same max power it can charge at on AC power) into an appropriate Powershare Mobile Connector (which we haven't see yet, just a mention of it on Tesla's website)...

Let's see, Ford has massive distribution, a dealer on every corner, a 100 year old brand vs a startup with no distribution and scattered service centers, yet Rivian is massively outselling the Lightning? Why? Edit: I messed up on the number - while Rivian doesn't break out sales numbers per...

Yeah, sorry! Yes, R1S works great after the update.

OK, I'm taking the plunge...

It’s been three hours. Should we send out a search party?

Dunno, just feeling like I’ll wait a bit before installing it! ?

Sorry to hear, thanks for the report, and thanks for the laugh about your roasted backside! And gawd, the rest of you piling onto the frozen kids, stop it with the holier than thou sentiments. It isn't a good look. You weren't there. Socal kids normally dress in shorts and t-shirts, so 50...

The structure of this financing is a bit convoluted. Link to the SEC filing. And spoiler alert: This is NOT Rivian borrowing $15B. First, this is all as a result of the Economic Development Agreement with these parties: Rivian will actually rent the land and all buildings and machinery for...

So what did you learn?

IIRC there was a software interaction issue between the Rivian’s software and some EA chargers in that the EA charger would do something that the Rivian didn’t like and it would end up locking the Rivian software into a permanent no fast charge mode until reset by service techs.

Wow I missed all that. So was Amazon’s contract that crappy for them? Is Amazon backing away from electrifying their fleet?

Wow. So then that begs the question, why isn’t Rivian pumping out tons more RDVs?

It is? How do you know that?

Not sure what this A2Z company is all,about since they don’t say they are a Tesla licensee, meanwhile, giant manufacturer Volex says they are: https://a2zevshop.com/en-us/products/nacs-ccs1 https://www.teslarati.com/tesla-licenses-nacs-connector-volex/

Uh, what are we looking at there?

The answer is YES, no need for your portable charger. Do you have your home charging situation figured out? I’ll also give a shout out to ABetterRoutePlanner.com to plan out long distance trips to find charging along your route (you want CCS chargers for fast charging while traveling).

The only thing I can suggest is if you are renting a condo with access to a 20A receptacle, buy a Tesla Mobile Connector and the NEMA 5-20 adapter and a Tesla to J1772 adapter. It’ll allow charging at 16A rather than 12A and it’ll make a difference in the winter. Hilton hotels will supposedly...

They are installing Tesla’s Universal Wall Chargers, which has both J1772 and Tesla connectors on them. Around six per hotel. Nice!

It took me a while to figure out timed charging. It wasn’t intuitively obvious for me. Play around with the time window.
