Mine charges fine with no Internet to the charger or truck. My charger is a Rivian so maybe it’s a brand thing. Seems odd though. The only time I see the “no cloud connection” is on the app, which I don’t need to use to charge.

Have you tried playing it on your phone and using Bluetooth to play it on thd entertainment system? Works for Apple Music so maybe for Sirius…

You could tow a flatbed trailer but that might make wilderness exploration awkward. :cool:

Sounds like you could tow it behind an RV and not even need a separate braking system.

Apple Music with 900+ of my favorite tunes on my phone works great in my R1T over Bluetooth. As soon as I get in the car it picks up where it left off. Regarding the software architecture, another 40 year software developer here and I am really impressed with Rivian’s work. Hard to compare the...

Well yes, that may be true, but I am happy with their product in Massachusetts and it appears to me that they also offer their product in California. I am open to being corrected about their availability in California, but I do not I have a problem doing business with a company based in Spain.

Has anyone from CA tried MAPFRE? It looks like they actively cover cars there. We have a Bronco Sport, a Sprinter camper van and our R1T insured through them and haven’t found better rates (in Massachusetts). We even had an $8k at-fault claim last year and they didn’t bump our rates and handled...

I'm trying to understand how electric motors are generating so much heat while parked at a charger without the benefit of having been instructed by the navigation system to precondition the batteries. That image makes me wonder if you have installed the previous software update that fixed an...

Just do others a favor and turn off Automatic Traction Control (if Sand Mode doesn’t do it automatically as my Bronco Sport does). It cases horrible ripples in soft sand tracks. I can’t wait until spring to take our DM R1T w/21’s onto our beaches.

I learned early on that one of the probable causes of the red light on the portable charger was that plug not making contact for whatever reason.

Before I stuck a bolt back in the hole I would think about running a tap in there first to get things lined up properly. Plus you might learn if you need to go a size larger.

I have our Rivian charger directly wired to a 60 amp breaker, DIP switches set to 48 and R1T set to 48. I regularly start off with low amperage, I presume because the air temps have been 30-40F, but then it jumps to over 10KwH and stays there until complete.

Seems like it would depend on how you use it. We only need to charge once a week so I don’t see any reason to plug it in every day.

I found it to be 2 boxes of liquor and 2 cases of wine long, and exactly the right height and width for them. One case of wine needed to be tilted so next time I will put it in last for ease of removal.

Nice to hear. I’m planning to order a set when I get home from our warm weather hiatus.

I believe the charger has to support off peak charging directly to qualify. Before Rivian installed my free one I had ordered a ChargePoint to qualify for my power company’s offer.

Yo Mister negativity RIP… the OP went for a full month and was down 20%. Maybe you could try that in your Rivian and see how that works for you instead of comparing it to your wife’s car which may or may not have half of the power consuming features available or enabled.

We have a solar system that generates more than we use to heat and cool our house, so we never use the scheduled charging feature. I just have it plugged in with no schedule. I expect that if we used the scheduler our top-off charging would only happen when the scheduler permits.

Good information, thanks. I’m away from mine for 7 weeks but I could leave it plugged in. I seem to lose ~1%/day but I left it in normal mode @50% and it comes back up to that every couple of days.

I’m away for 7 weeks. Left it plugged in set to 50%. It seems that when it drifts to 48% it charges to 50%. Ten days in and so far so good.
