I have a whole home surge protector, designed to protect from lightning strikes to the connecting utility lines. It goes in the electrical panel.

Living in Arizona, her Spanish street names could use a lot of improvement. But she does give us a laugh. Sounds like she uses American English phonetics to figure out words she does not know ... so it's not limited to Spanish. For example, "Shea" , locally pronounced same as the old stadium...

These days charging is not an issue except in really remote areas, mostly the mountain west. When you get your L2 installed, round trips under 200 miles are covered. Plug in over night. Longer trips you just need to do a little planning. The A Better Route Planner app will show most...

Its confusing. There are two separate processes. PAK is the first phone the R1 detects, which sets the driver seat setting, mirrors, etc. Its basically a handshake and done. The audio is a separate blue tooth connection (shows on phone a as Rivian Audio). In general, this is either the first...

The WIFI and Bluetooth components in gen 2 are from Murata and are the default device name that shows on a network, Rivian does not override this. However, within some routers the display name can be changed by user. More likely in your case. assuming you did not change the name, Murata is...

Gen 1 shows as U-box AG. They provided the Wifi and Bluetooth components to Rivian in Gen 1. Rivian changed for Gen 2 and is supplied by Murata Manufacturing which shows as the Wifi device on your network for gen 2. Depending upon your router, you may be able to change the display name on your...

The R1 is never off. Assuming you left it as if you had it parked at home, it could be doing lots of stuff in transit. HVAC may be operating. Cameras may be operating. PAK will be operating listening for your phone. Bluetooth will be on. All the computers will be on and keeping warm ready...

When it comes to software, overall Tesla is well ahead of Rivian, as it should be.... Tesla had a 8 year head start. Rivian is catching up quickly and is ahead in some areas. My Tesla was a 2020 model Y. My Rivian is a gen 2 R1T. In general I like the RIvian implemetation and User interface...

Your setup looks fine. As another person said, supporting the Tesla charger would be good to keep pigtail from coming loose (although they fit pretty tight), but it's not an issue as is. The Rivian cable is cooler than Tesla because Rivian has 8 guage wire, while Tesla uses 10 guage (Less...

I have similar results when backing up ... if at VERY slow speed backing up and I lift my foot off the go peddle too far, to quickly I believe the brake engages creating a small jerk which also causes my wife to yell at me. I think this is normal behavior for the R1, myself and my wife.

Heat in electrical circuits is the result of resistance. The hottest point will always be the point of highest resistance. So if the NEMA plug was the hottest point, that is where the issue resides. IT may get warm (100 degrees?), but should not be hot (burn my hand if I hold it hot). The...

Nice, Keep in mind on this screen, Rivian includes KWH used while parked over night (sleeping) during the trip (Total KWh used from start to end of trip). So your actual driving miles per KWh are higher. Tesla, does not include the sleeping kwh in their trip meter. Both valid number, just need...

Works on my Gen 2 using the same words you used.

I also recommend Emporia. My first charger, 12 years ago, was Clipper Creek (no frills, just charges, still working). Also have Autel ... it works, but user interface and features not as good as Emporia.

I don't recall the specifics, but when I purchased the R1 and provided the credit card for charges, part of the process was to link ChargePoint for plug and charge. I have never used ChargePoint, so no experience on billing but assume through Rivian.

A simple DIY solution is to use the same method the gear tunnel sleds are bolted in place. at each end of the tunnel there is a plastic panel at the floor which pops out and exposes the bracket with bolt holes (Gear tunnel sleds bolt to this). Simple DIY solution is to bolt I hooks or a DIY...

Camp mode. Then select the option to turn everything off (screen, HVAC, etc). This is essentially same as sleep, it will used the same amount of battery.

I'll try to clarify ... The R1 can either warm or cool air (via the heat pump), but not do both at the same time. It can also bring air in from outside which is either warmer or cooler than the R1 interior. So if its 75 degrees outside and you set one side of car to 80 and the other side to...

The R1 uses a heat pump which can produce hot air or cold air, one or the other, but not both at the same time. The driver/passenger temp settings adjust airflow. It can't simultaneously heat (hotter than outside air) and cool (colder than outside air). So, you may be asking the system to do...

Yes some of us do. Although in my case we don't call it "Boondocks", we call it the Apache-Sitgreaves national forest. I can drive to the service center in either Tempe, AZ or north Phoenix. The shortest time to both are 2.5 hours provided the highways are not closed due to forest fire, snow...
