Rivian Wall Charger J1772 cable replacement guide

[shrink]

There's a control pilot and proximity pilot. One to tell the car how fast to charge and one to verify the connector is connected and it's safe to energize. The ground is there to protect in case there is high voltage leakage into the car body. The power leads supply either single phase or split phase to the car.

Back in my Tesla days I had the original Tesla Wall Connector capable of what was it - 80 amp L2 charging on the first gen Model S?

Regardless, I remember the button on the now NACS connector would no longer open the Model S charge port. I think over at the Tesla forums someone commented one of the pilot wires went bad. I used that EVSE to charge a Model S and Model 3 reliably for several years without incident. Is it possible one of those pilot wires is, indeed, supposed to open a Tesla charge port door?

My Rivian charger has been slow as shit lately. It always says cable hot as the reason why. Would this solve the issue? Do I put in a ticket for it? How long is the warranty on the charger, mine doesn't even connect to wifi anymore and hasn't for a while.

I have been having that issue for several weeks. After providing several pictures (plug, vehicle, charger, electrical panel, etc.) Rivian sent a replacement charger and will have it installed next week. I hope it's the charger or cable, but the communications with Rivian haven't been all that confidence inspiring.
