Max Charging Limit Override option in service menu

[Riviot]

I was in the service menu and saw this... Anyone else seen it or know what it does? I think I just unlocked the constant 220kW charging!

Probably refers to SOC charging limit but just a guess.

What happened when you pressed it? Please record a video if you do.

Well that was a let down...

Well that's was a let down...

USDOT regulations state you cannot ship a gas/diesel vehicle with over 50% fuel. The regulations say nothing about EV SoC so the expectation is that batteries would not be charged over 50% during transit, just to keep the spirit of the regualtion.

I can also see this being good for fleet or rentals limiting them to ~90% to save battery life.

Yeah that just overrides the charging limit set in the regular UI without changing it in the regular UI.

I always wanted to check it out but was too chicken shit... I thought it would allow the charging curve to be temporarily less restricted, and allow a service center to DCFC at a more consistent rate than normal to ensure quick turnaround.

I wonder if this can be used to push the Standard to Standard+ limits? Like if it's the same code limiting Standard to 85% . If a Standard user plugging in 99, maybe miles go beyond 270 and % goes

Folks shipping to Hawaii have said things about what the shipping company requires.

Has anyone changed any settings in the ride menu?

I'm about 99% certain that Standard+ is just the physical size of the Standard battery with the chemistry boost of the Max Pack. The % increase between S and S+ is identical to the % increase from Large to Max.

So why hide the BMS data?

Double-dog dare me and I'll do it.

Well then explain the guides and other Rivian employees telling customers receiving Standard it is a software-locked Standard+...

We have a payload sticker for a Standard R1T on 21s, no spare, just need the same in a Standard+ and
