  1. trade-in caution

    Wow, mine was 7 weeks which I thought was nuts and made a mess of my trade-in loan payments. I’m WA state as well.
  2. Building a new home, charging advice

    I would have them install a 125A sub panel in the garage close to where you want to charge, and then it will be super easy to add and upgrade the charger(s) for your EV(s) now and in the future as things change.
  3. Working Magsafe / Magnetic Qi Wireless Charging Pad Install! - DIY Writeup

    This is awesome! Count me in for the dual version if you decide to distribute it! Any chance you could track down the other side of the connector the factory pad uses to avoid tapping the wires?
  4. Rivian R1T Door Construction Analysis: Sandy Munro Live

    YouTube ads sure don’t pay the bills to buy an R1T and invest all the man-hours to disassemble it. ? We get the privilege to watch this as a by-product of the actual business Munro is in.
  5. R1T Rivian Service, Rescue & Recovery Vehicle (w/ Pullout Drawers From Gear Tunnel) -- TFL walkaround

    Is that out of the Bellevue Service Center? It was the first Ocean Coast I’ve seen- the tech that came to fix my issue said she couldn’t believe they gave one to a mobile tech as they’re not the cleanest bunch.
  6. DIY Tonneau Repairs? Anyone try to do this yet?

    On mine, I was cleaning the bed the other day and noticed that when I ran my finger along the inside of the track I could feel a slight hump on the plastic bottom side of the track exactly at the spot where the cover binds and gets stuck if I don’t force it to keep going. I found the same...
  7. Issue having NFC Card in my wallet and leave it in the truck or leave the Key fob in the truck?

    If you have a Launch Edition and did not receive your wristband key, you are entitled to one once the next batch is manufactured (due in August). To make sure you are in the queue for one, you should contact Rivian Service and have a service ticket opened up for the missing wristband (if they...
  8. Issue having NFC Card in my wallet and leave it in the truck or leave the Key fob in the truck?

    I would strongly advise against relying solely on the phone key. Mine has stopped working several times, once requiring a service center visit to resolve and once learning my wife stranded. It is strictly a convenience feature and you should always have a backup.
  9. Installing wall charger outside vs inside

    Yeah, a little bigger and it doesn’t compress like a hose.
  10. Installing wall charger outside vs inside

    Here’s mine, next to the garage door under the deck. Not in the photo- a security camera right over the garage.
  11. Installing wall charger outside vs inside

    It is a really fat cord, if you close your door on it you’re not going to have a good bottom seal and you’d have to adjust the closing tension so it doesn’t roll back up like it does when you squish a small child.
  12. Wall charger installation at home - suggestions and recommendations? ⚡️⚡️

    Not all 6AWG copper is the same- SOME 6AWG is rated for 60 (or greater) ampacity, but NM-B is not one of them. It maxes out at 55A due to the 60C ampacity limitation on NM-B per the NEC.
  13. A Tail of Two Cables

    If you’re going to suggest spending the money on a new EVSE, why on earth would you go for a convoluted solution with Tesla adapters in lieu of just getting a 14-30 standard J1772 EVSE like this one? Splitvolt 24A NEMA 14-30 EV Charger with 16 ft Cord, Level 2 240V, Fastest NEC-Safe 30 Amp...
  14. Wall charger installation at home - suggestions and recommendations? ⚡️⚡️

    You might want to double-check with the inspector that he caught this is a 60 amp circuit and not the much more common (for EV chargers) 50 amp. 6/2 NM-B does not meet NEC for a 60 amp circuit. The Rivian Wall Charger is a slightly atypical EV charger installation due to the higher output, and...
  15. Wall charger installation at home - suggestions and recommendations? ⚡️⚡️

    This is a much better solution than the tray cable. These are high amperage conductors and I’d feel much more comfortable with them protected in solid or flex conduit. At OP’s length of 60-70’, voltage drop starts to become an issue and going to 4-gauge for the conductors is a good choice.
  16. A Tail of Two Cables

    The portable charger uses a 240 volt 50 amp plug (NEMA 14-50 type), while your dryer uses a lower-capacity 240 volt 30 amp plug (NEMA 14-30) which is incompatible. You can purchase an adapter that goes between them, which will require lowering the charging amps in the truck’s charging screen to...
  17. If you traded in with a lien, how long did it take Rivian to pay it off?

    Mine was about 7 weeks. I got hit with an additional monthly payment for a vehicle I no longer owned, but the money was properly sent back to me eventually. The process was extremely unprofessional with no transparency as to what was going on.
  18. Who else is waiting for the camp kitchen?

    Nobody has received one. They are vaporware with only a few one-off hand-built ones for the demo trucks, and nobody has received any kind of ETA of when they might actually ship. You cannot go through with a purchase of a truck with one, they are removed from all orders at purchase time.
