25F
Just a little worried because the very first time I charged away from home, 1 year ago, the L2 charger harness failed and needed a tow to service center.
This is different as it affected L3 charging too.
After leaving Gen 1 R1S at <15% charge for a few days charge was at 10% and battery 35F I went to charge.
I plugged in at L2 but charging would not start. Message on screen “Waiting on Charger”. I then drove to a Tesla SC and plugged in with adapter. Charging started but stayed at 21kW even...
My driver display is set up to show percentage, but not to precision you are requesting from the battery symbol.
I agree that Rivian could easily add an optional battery SOC symbol that you propose.
However, I am not sure that it will allay the anxiety induced in a EV newb the first time they...
I’m not going to screw myself over by boycotting Tesla chargers in all scenarios, but yesterday I decided to continue to my destination without a DCFC top up at Tesla. A month ago I made the opposite decision.
The reason is I do not approve of how Trump and DOGE are acting. I believe they are...
A $5k worth of Outback needing a $4k to $5.5 engine rebuild ( Seattle shop rates!). I was given $1.5k trade in.
It will go to auction and an amateur mechanic will keep it alive. I don’t believe it will die yet.
I agree with everything said above.
In winter I have noticed that it can take 20-30 minutes for the vehicle and battery to reach a steady temp and then the heating load reaches a minimum. When this happens you will see efficiency much closer to rated.
Remember that the number in the driver...
Alternative perspective.
I have error message come up on dash of my Volt. Yesterday I called Chevy dealer and they offered me an appointment on Tuesday (2 business days wait). I expect them to service it straight away too.
That’s good. Keeping to 65 max helps a lot and I think fast charging warms the battery and aids efficiency too.
I did it without box or rack, but went up to 75 on freeway and made it from NW Seattle to Whistler (220 miles) with 20 miles left.
I tried the new Tesla SC at Market Place, but...
That sucks.
As others have said, probably coupler on rear drive.
I had similar symptoms in my Gen1 Quad and it was too much grease in halfshaft to motor joint.
Either way, Rivian priorities these types of issues. You should get a rental or loaner on them. They will fix it soon.
7500 inspection is not free.
I had one recently at $176 after taxes.
They found issue with CV boot and replaced half-shaft under warranty.
I get my tires rotated at Discount Tire for free.
Vehicle towed back to Bellevue SC
Update:
Rivian say they packed too much grease in joint between half-shaft and motor, which caused over-pressure and the drivetrain computer to freak out.
New half-shaft installed with correct amount of grease and so far so good.
