    First charge using the A2Z adapter

    Notice the "damp cloth". The old supercharger v2 strategy was because the handles did not get cooled well enough in direct sunlight and would de rate the charging session as they were not liquid cooled at the time, so the old strategy was to get some sort of microfiber cloth, soak it in water...

    First charge using the A2Z adapter

    Here is the thought process on how I figured it was the adapter: 1: The supercharger was had 52 stalls and was empty. 2: The cable and handle were in check for temp. 3: The adapter was much hotter then it was the other times I used it. 4: The truck was telling me that the charger was de rating...

    For those with no spare or who have changed over…

    Just to add a data point, I have the spare with kit from Rivian. I also have aftermarket jack pucks and a bottle jack. Have had my truck for a year and a half and haven't had to use it until the first hour of a 1300mi road trip I just got back from Tuesday. Driving on the highway when the truck...

    First charge using the A2Z adapter

    Got back from a 1300 mi road trip, used the adapter 8 total times, every time worked great. Even got hot enough in direct sunlight to cause the adapter to heat up enough to trigger the charger to de rate the dispenser. De rated to around 40-45KW, and caused the truck to think that the...

    UPDATED: Warning - Safety Defect Found with Lectron NACS Adapter

    The UL standard does not exist yet, it is still in the works. Therefore no adapter can meet any UL approval as there is none, that means even Tesla's adapter does not meet UL Approval. For what its worth both A2Z and Lectron have claimed that they are in line with the current specs that the UL...

    A2Z NACS To CCS1 Adapter Review

    I'm regretting not doing the same. UPS has had mine for 6 days and it hasn't moved. Every day the delivery date keeps changing to a later date. Hoping it would have been here before my road trip end of next week but it seems like it will not be here in time which would be unfortunate.

    A2Z NACS To CCS1 Adapter Review

    Did anyone's order get stuck in stuck waiting in a UPS warehouse while waiting for clearance for 4+days, seeing multiple people getting their adapter 2-3 days after it shipped. Not blaming A2Z for UPS taking a while just wondering if anyone else is having that happen to them. Also the package...

    Rivian R2 Full Tour by Out of Spec Kyle

    I think this is a very fair point. We do have the 360 cameras but they could be much better. Personally I don't really care if I need to walk to the other side of the car to plug in, but I understand that others have preferences. What I would love to see is have 2 plugs (kinda like what Porsche...

    Rivian R2 Full Tour by Out of Spec Kyle

    My 2c is that the Front Passenger side is best for the most common scenarios. -Best for towing (front) -Works for native Tesla spot (I agree this will phase out over time) -Works for curbside charging. (This is the one that basically requires passenger side port) The main reason I have seen to...

    A2Z NACS To CCS1 Adapter Review

    You would need to activate the charger from the Tesla app before plugging in, otherwise plug and charge will take over. This is the info that others have reported, my adapter comes in this week and I plan to do this as well for a road trip next week.

    First Charge with A2Z NACS to CCS adapter (success!)

    1st party: Rivian/Tesla (the original manufactures, Tesla makes the adapter for other companies like Ford and Rivian) 3rd party: Anyone else, in this case A2Z, but could also be Lectron as they are making an adapter as well.

    Powered 40 qt Frunk Cooler and 12 gal Water Tank w/ washdown sprayer concept (by @BoxGods)

    Only reason I replied is because of how you originally commented. You said that the cooler is "starting to feel like the Rivian Camp Kitchen - super cool but the company can't seem to deliver" Considering that the rivian camp kitchen in its original form is not going to come market at all. (They...

    Powered 40 qt Frunk Cooler and 12 gal Water Tank w/ washdown sprayer concept (by @BoxGods)

    Just because you are user #10 (not that it matters at all) does not mean that you have kept up with posts, feedback, and updates across all the projects. I don't expect any one person to do so, but I would also expect a little bit of due diligence to be done before relating any these projects to...
