By "blows a fuse" do you mean the breaker is tripping? Not sure that is heat related. I'm no expert but I would be concerned about this. What size is the breaker? If it is a 60A breaker and you are charging at 48A, there is no good reason for a trip unless something else is wrong.

If the Tesla UWC has a red flashing light at the top, and at the same time it has the pulsing green lights going down the front, you have a temperature related derate. My wife's Tesla M3 does this when it is hot in the garage, and it is always derated to 24A. My Rivian used to do it to, until I...

Check out Slate.

BTW, Discount Tire in my area fix flats for free, even if you didn't buy the tires there. They have done this twice for me. They have pucks and know how to work on Rivians. YMMV.

You are leaning out the window to look at the trailer probably. Don't do that. Keep that butt firmly planted.

I run both Rivian NAV and Waze on road trips and I am seeing fewer differences. I trust the Rivian NAV if it suggests a reroute. If I miss the "yes", I just cancel the route, and re-do it. Rivian is doing a much better job with displaying traffic colors in real time. This is an area that has...

Came here to say this. I use 48 cold on 21" scorpions.

Those good boys seem to like it.

I cancelled my reservation when they announced the EREV and the production delay.

Faster charge? My R1T can do 200+kw, the R1S is different?

RJ said recently in an interview that 20 hours after they opened the reservation window on March 7, 2024, they had 70,000 reservations. They have not released the total number, but it has to be well north of 100,000. You can draw a lot of conclusions from that.

Any credit union will beat the Rivian rate.

Electrek hates Tesla and Musk. Everything they post about Tesla has a negative slant to it. I'm no fan either and I don't pay attention to the Electrek rants.

Thats some really clean bong water.

Okay, you are an early adopter, had bad service experiences, and sold your Rivian. You have moved on, and the point of your post is what? Why now? Seems like you are having trouble letting go and moving on. From my perspective, service has been very good at my service center (Richmond VA). I...

I have heard RJ say that the R1 line will continue to be the flagship model for the company moving forward.

I talked to a Rivian RAN maintenance guy the other day, they were updating the RAN in Waynesboro VA when I stopped in on a road trip. He said their internal uptime metric was 98.5%, and they meet or exceed that. He said a huge priority is placed on uptime and they try hard and travel widely. The...

About farts... There is a button in the R2 that will lower all the windows at the same time. It is called "The Fart Button". Your wife should like that.

Good lord we hear this all the time... "A $100K luxury vehicle such as the R1S should be like...". Nonsense. We don't buy R1 vehicles because they are "luxury". We buy them for what they are. The best in their class. It doesn't mean they are luxury. We pay extra for stuff we appreciate...
