The shop that did my ceramic coating first did a full paint correction, even though the vehicle was new. I was amazed to what a big difference it made.
+1 on Gyeon Wet.
Bruce here with an R1S in Northern Virginia (Oakton). Comma 3 + The Longitudinal upgrade kit. Happy to participate.
Shout out to @gerrylum, who helped me on Discord back in July with some troubleshooting. Would love to pay it forward. While the install was a bit a challenge, my experience...
FWIW: My licensed electrician used the wrong cable type to support a sustained 48A charge. Specifically, he installed 6/2 Romex NM-B cable, which is only rated for 55A. Because EV charging is considered a continuous load, that cable can safely support 40A max, not 48A.
I had my Rivian EVSE DIP...
Thanks! A labor of love for sure. At some point, I'll do a full post on the car bar. To answer your questions...
I used this clear/ribbed liner (had some left over). It kinda grippy with glass, plus it was packed full so not much room to slide around.
I used these bottle sleeves from Amazon...
Car Bar 1.0. Also has a faucet and sink. Purposely designed it to only take up one side so I could sleep on the other with a Luno mattress. Like Sapan, I was defining my own version camping. Thanks to all that helped with field testing ;-)
Car Bar 2.0 will be collapsible for easy storage. I'm...
I've had no issues since the update and can't speak to Tesla Chargers. I did, though, want to share an update on my situation....
Long story short, I now realize that my licensed electrician used the wrong cable type to support a sustained 48A charge. My setup uses 6/2 Romex NM-B cable, which...
Update... I quickly got a call from Rivian Service after uploading the requested photos. They're going to send me a new charger. They also noted that since I have a single wire (instead 2 x 110v),that I should change my dip switch settings from 48A to 40A.
I called them earlier and going through that now. Funny enough, I had logged over 800 charging sessions with this charger on ElectriFi l. (I charge daily, and many were scheduled climate control.) I filtered on sessions where more than 5 kWh was added and it's clear something changed earlier...
In my last appointment to address the clicking noise, they added ting washers rather than replace the half shafts. For now, the solution is working and I'm happy with it.
I'm curious if others have this issue and/or if it's related to any regent updates. I regularly get my home charging speed derated due to a warm plug. Charging starts around 11 kW (~48A) and derates to 6-7 kW and 30A. It looks like this happens when the plug reaches 100 degrees.
Yesterday, I...

Bummer, no, they must have changed it this week. The current promotion is 25% lightning savings. BUT, there's now a stackable 20% coupon code that gets you close to that price.
I've put a few hundred miles on mine and love them so far. 1000+ miles planned over the next week, so will have have more to report soon. Fun fact, they're made in Tennessee.
In case you didn't see my post last week, I picked up a set for ~$178 each on Tires-easy.com.
