Why suspect when the CEO of A2Z went on State of Charge and said it was due to an engineering firm hired by Tesla's report that found 2 defects that don't match upcoming UL cert (that Tesla is presumably writing) * physical J3400 latch could degrade leading to potential accidental unplug after...

can anyone speak to how much clearance (if any) these take away? Looks like they sit about 1 inch lower than rest of the underbody.

btw, AC V2H/V2G standard J3068/2, was adopted in Jan 2024: https://cleantechnica.com/2024/02/22/sae-adopts-new-standards-for-vehicle-to-grid/ It does appear to only cover Type 2 (EU) connector and is meant for commercial application, which is a big bummer.

I think so since the "source" car has to match the voltage of "destination" car's battery pack.

with details on powershare coming out from tesla, I really hope that Rivian has the same capability that is behind a software lock. I'm not specifically asking Rivian to interop with tesla, but taking advantage of that 48A onboard inverter is such an elegant solution as compared to DC coupled...

Keep us posted, how they handle the repair & if it continues working after is whats most important.

Thanks for the twitter link, but color commentary isn't necessary. He had the adapter given to him by Ford.

There is already stories of people getting premium paint or upgraded wheels, etc for free, so stuff like this is happening. I think a non-insignificant amount of people were waiting on PTC to pull the trigger, so they tried to say you'll be able to buy it later, now they're putting in the price...

In order for Plug & Charge (ISO 15118-2) to work, 4 entities have to implement their side of it. 1. OEM (Rivian) 2. Charge Point Operator (Tesla/EA/RAN) 3. Mobility Operator (Rivian, Blue Oval Network, etc) 4. Certificate "warehouse" (Rivian, Hubject, etc) EA and Mobility Operator (In our...

You already bought the car, sorry buds. As an anecdotal story - I had scheduled a service in Colorado with about 13 items on the list, broken tonneau being one of them. They originally didn't schedule one of the items (I am assuming the tonneau), but after a day or so all items were scheduled...

do I have to get the step down charger separate? Does it accept the standard magsafe pucks (also, presumably not included)?

big shill for Toyota. b4z win notwithstanding, charging Ioniq or Rivian on a 500V/350A limited charger is the biggest red flag. I would be embarrassed to be called an independent testing/certification agency based on their methodology. Also a Tesla Model S that doesn't have the magic dock...

I imagine power cut to a specific wheel is due to Rivian not wanting to break anything. Given no restrictions, each motor can break its drive components from 0 RPM if stuck in an unmovable situation.

I'm doing some research into a less aggressive AT tire that has good snow perf and I was looking at those for my 20'' wheels. Unfortunately they aren't available in 20'' standard size, so you have to undersize to R60, diameter goes down from 34.1in to 33inch, not a huge deal but I think that...

I reset my Bolt EV and Ford Mach-E all the time...not saying its acceptable, but don't get it twisted that legacy automakers are somehow immune from this issue.

Both Bolt EV and MachE which I owned previously would pull from the wall for preconditioning, Rivian does not behave that way, it uses battery if charging has stopped. It will restart charging if it drops below a certain amount (No idea on how much). If battery has a dedicated charging circuit...

This weekend we decided to do a north Colorado trip to camp & hoon around in the sand. Basic idea was to drive to an RV campground (Ranger Lakes), fully charge overnight on 50A service with the portable charger (so 32A only), then use as much as 75% of charge to have some fun in the North Sand...
