Thanks for opening it up and showing. Did you wire it for the full 48 amps? Did you order your wire or get it at a big box? Shopping around for wiring at moment. Thanks

My installer brought the wire with him He did mention that it is hard to find right now and very very pricey. Luckily I only needed about 6' of each. And yes, we went for the full 48A.

Thanks a bunch. Can you turn off the flasing light on the charger? I will be charging in a driveway and don't want to get too much attention.

Yes. This page is directly from the install manual. Hope it helps.

not just yet. But I imagine this will be an option on a future software release. There is currently no settings at all available for the wall charger on the app.

I thought the charging lights turned off when the truck locks, does the ring around the plug stay lit?

It does. As does the light on the EVSE itself.

I thought he was referring to the light on the wall charger itself. I just went and checked. Car started charging 18 minutes ago and the wall charger is still pulsating green. The car just has the green light on around the port, nothing else.

... I ... don't want to get too much attention.

You have a Rivian in your driveway. You're already going to draw too much attention without the lights

Although trajectory of the price suggest otherwise, by the time I get mine, they will be dime a dozen. I am hoping I won’t be as special as rest of you guys.
