Great suggestion, and I had thought about that, however I am concerned about the duty cycle of the onboard air. Do you know what it happens to be? I don't want to burn out the onboard compressor going from 25 or 30 PSI all the way up to 50 PSI for all four tires at once. I should mention this would be quite catastrophic since the air suspension relies on it, no? Typically when I fill up right now I give the compressor a 5 minute smoke break between tires...
Sandy Munro did a Rivian teardown and the compressor is in fact a single ARB unit. The dual ARBs are essentially 2 singles that share a manifold and are 100% duty cycle. I wouldn’t worry about stressing it out.

I got Speedflate’s kit for the ease of use its coiled hoses offer. But had to change out the tire chucks for ones with a smaller diameter because of Rivian’s wheel design.
Ah so will the HALTEC chucks not work with the Rivian 20" wheels? I was going to build a kit myself and use those air chucks because of their triple locking design.

Probably not. Morrflate’s are said to be 10% smaller and just barely fit. I tried to look for alternatives but it’s strange how no one lists dimensions and there aren’t really many closed flow options. Get just 1 to test, whatever you find, and make sure you’re able to return it if needed.
