Out of curiosity, have you tried DC Fast charging on a ChargePoint 62.5kW, EVgo 50kW, or EVgo 100kW station? I rented a Rivian R1T on Turo that would error out when charging on a station above 100kW. While I recommend taking your vehicle to the service center, gathering as much information as...
After successfully charging my Rivian R1S four times with the new Tesla Universal Wall Connector, I can confidently say it's solved my charging issues. The Rivian used to downgrade after 30 minutes, but not anymore. Also, the Tesla to CCS adapter on the UWC doesn't overheat like the Lectron...
Consider buying a used first-generation R1S, which is what I did. I recently got a 2023 Rivian R1S in Glacier White with the Ocean Coast and Dark Ash Wood interior, Large Pack, 22" Sport Dark wheels, and Quad Motor for $69,000 ($75,000 after taxes and registration). It had 16,000 miles on it...
I'd strongly suggest the Tesla Universal Wall Connector. Previously, I used a standard Tesla Wall Connector Gen 3 with the Lectron Tesla to J1772 EV Adapter, but the Lectron would overheat and reduce charging from 48 amps to 24 amps after about 30 minutes, this overheating issue happened with...
My Rivian R1S and Chevy Bolt both experienced charging downgrades from 11.3kW to 5.3kW when using a Lectron Tesla to J1772 adapter with my Tesla Wall Connector Gen 3. The adapter also got hot. Limiting the Rivian to 32amps helped prevent downgrades, but I wanted a better solution. I Installed a...
I'd also appreciate an update on the charging site's status. I originally posted photos of it on PlugShare and drive by 3-4 times a week. It'd be fantastic to use this site instead of relying on the Tesla Supercharger 10 minutes away.
If you're considering the Exped MegaMat Duo 10 and wondering about the size difference between the Long Wide Double and Medium Double, here's my take:
My wife and I opted for the Long Wide Double (77.6 x 52 x 4 inches) and, although it's not a perfect fit in our Rivian R1S, we love the...
I would love to see a video on using the kitchen, any idea when that video would be made available? As well as installing and removing it from the R1S?
