As many discussed and some showed in their setups, this is safe and works. I'm showing two options available for my case.
TL;DW:
Rivian connected to a DC Power Supply, then you can de-couple the input to something from the A/C output of that something.
- My case #1: Rivian >> DC Power Supply...
As a data nerd, I love what Rivian Roamer has to offer, and now that I can import my data from ElectraFi, it's like Full Circle!
If you don't use Rivian Roamer Dashboard, I would encourage you to do so, it's an amazing site for nerds :)
Just that, wanted to share why I'm happy today :)
I was searching around for something and opened the Rivian's Owner Manual and immediately what caught my eye was that it DOUBLED in pages from the last time I have opened it (at least for the 2022-2024 models)
https://rivian.com/support/article/r1t-owners-guide -> version 2024.51 and it says...
So, we might be a couple of weeks away for a new release (spotted in electraFi)
According to my source, 0% chance of CarPlay being introduced on this one. Sorry to disappoint y'all..
Austin to Dallas with a full charge in. Y G1QM Large Battery ?
After a couple of hours of city driving in Austin, I headed back home to the DFW area and I was like "nahh, I can easily make it...". ?
I had to admit, the last 80 miles I had to slow down to 70mph, but I was already passing...
I'm an EV driver since 2022 (My wife's Model 3) but I wasn't into Teslas... I'm a car guy, I love my Manual Transmission HotHatch and I try to drive fast cars as daily drivers, slow cars aren't fun for me :) So, when the opportunity came to own a Gen1 QuadMotor Large Battery R1T with 4800 miles...
There are a few facts that I would like to state beforehand:
It's known that 1-2% daily Vampire Drain (VD) loss in Rivian's (at least Gen1) is considered normal.
It's known that most of that loss is attributed to 12V battery recharging (plus other losses that the Wake events generate when...
This was long overdue, but as I was reading a few things today, I thought to myself, "How lucky I was about my R1T purchase experience!"
Background: I was driving (and loving it!) a BMW X3 M40i and had zero intentions of switching cars, but every time since my wife got her Model 3 delivered, I...
I'm looking to but a single wheel or tire for the 21" road config (Pirelli Scorpion). If you have one Brand-new (your spare, potentially) or almost brand-new and you're in Texas, message me.
I'm the DFW Area, willing to drive a bit to get it. I can drive to Austin as well as my company has an...
There's nothing major here compared to other members who've done thousands of miles while road-tripping, but I just made my first trip on the R1T (from DFW, TX, to Austin), and I'm impressed.
I started my day with a 100% SoC battery. I had to drive my wife to the Dallas Tesla SC to pick up her...
So, bought my truck when it was 4800 miles. I've done a reset on one trip (which I use to track efficiency and so on) but left the otherone untouched. I checked back now that I'm at 6k miles (1.2k miles in a month daily driving it, loving every second!) and....
WTH is that efficiency?
Did the...
Hi y'all!
Newbie here. Bought a used R1T with 5000mi a few weeks back and worked with Rivian for the ownership transfer which was completed Monday this week. That meant I could finally get OTA updates.
First, the truck updated to 2014.19.06 which got me excited as my unit had a very early...
