yep, thanks for the "heads-up." I self-identify as a nerd, and have been driving a Tesla Model S for 8 years (with only about 5% degradation last time I checked) Every couple of years I'll run it up to 98% or so and then immediately drive it. I'm told it's good for it to balance the pack and...

Thanks.

Wow, quick response. Thanks I know the math, but what I'm wondering is if there is any tapering from the already slowish charge rate. I've never charged the truck this high before, but my Tesla slowed significantly above about 95% the handful of times I charged it that high.

Title says it all. Leaving on a trip about 1 PM tomorrow, first leg is through a charging desert (258 miles) with a headwind. I want to leave at 100% around 1 PM, but don't want the pack sitting at the voltage any longer than necessary. My plan is to charge to 85% tonight, then put the...

I've had my R1S for 9 days now, and it currently has 993 miles on it. The biggest chunk of that was the 800 mile trip home in terrible weather from Detroit (where I took delivery) to Memphis, where I live. There have been a few common complaints about the early R1S (my VIN is 35xx) that...

I looking at the Charging map on Rivian's website, there appear to be a bunch of Rivian waypoint chargers in Tennessee, and specifically several around Memphis. I was in the area where one of the chargers depicted this morning, but the in car Nav, and plugshare don't seem to be aware of it (if...

Just got an email from brain exploder cancelling my original order, and have ordered the correct kit. My R1S was offered to me even though it wasn't -exactly- what I had preconfigured. I wanted 20" AT, but wasn't a big fan of the "bright." This solves one of my only regrets in taking this...

That's the email I've been using, but no reply yet

Thanks for the replies, I have made an account at Rivianstories and will keep trying.

Do you have a contact for this company other than the website? I ordered a kit Thursday, realized I ordered for the 22" wheels (instead of the 20" that I have) as soon as I looked at the confirmation page. I immediately (within seconds) sent an email, and sent another about 24 hours later but...

I understand your frustration. This is a solvable problem, though. And as you point out, it's a $95K asset and the opportunity cost is several hundred dollars a month--it makes no sense to wait on Rivian when you can probably fix it yourself for less than one week of those costs. I think...

I don't know the Wisconsin-Memphis part of that trip too well, but I've done Memphis-Oshkosh or Memphis-Milwaukee a few times in the Tesla and ICE vehicles. My only comment there is to avoid getting close to Chicago unless necessary for charging. Tolls and traffic make driving around Chicago...

I'm sorry you're having trouble. Can you describe what's happening (or failing to happen)? I assume you meant to say a 120v charger, as there is no such thing as a 110w charger for an EV. At 110 watts, it would take more than 1200 hours to fully charge the truck, even without any losses from...

One more data point. I let the truck sit on the 120V outlet for 12 hours last night again. Similar mild temps, gear guard off but no other special steps. Again seeing about 2mi/hour over 12 hours, which seems to track with what others are seeing. Everyone will have a different use pattern...

It’s about what I expected, but I wanted to test before I found out the hard way that it didn’t work. A good friend of mine has one of the first Tesla model 3s, and went 3-4 years using only wall outlets and superchargers. He recently installed a Tesla HPWC, but only because Tesla mailed it to...

Ok, so I know it’s not recommended, and even Rivian’s official guidance seems to discourage it, but I haven’t seen it reported on the forums, except in the context of freezing temps and unable to keep up with vampire drain. last night, with my R1S at about 66%, I set the charge limit to 85% and...

R1S VIN 35xx, picked up Friday, has 12V and two magnets in frunk, plastic trim on headrests, and two hold downs in the cargo area (vs 4 in the press R1)

You can take hwy 72 (poplar Ave) east and go down through Huntsville (actually Athens, just west of Huntsville) and Birmingham, but it adds more than an hour. That is the route ABRP suggests. I've done the route from Memphis to Jackson, MS and then through Mobile, AL before going to Destin in...

That’s exactly the type of feedback I’m looking for, thanks.

I appreciate the responses (and still eager for more if you have experience) I have no feel yet for the accuracy of the “guessometer.” Right now, it estimates 217 miles at 70%, which would translate to 310 at 100%. On the trip from Detroit, it was wildly optimistic, by at least 15% on most...
