Rivians have always used motor heat to warm the cabin. This is not a new thing.

FWIW, this is not something new - I noticed that last month in my Android app. I'm currently on 2.19, so this in not something that was introduced in 2.20. And as stated above, it's just been moved to a less conspicuous place: Profile >> Manage account >> Get in touch Yes, there's no chat...

Part of the VIN is the model year, so it's not possible to have the same VIN on a '23 and on a '25. I'm not sure where Electrafi is getting the model year from...possibly it is self-reported?

No offense, but your post shows little awareness of what has been discussed in these forums. See how that works? Maybe stop being so judgy when you aren't keeping close tabs on the news.

It would also be nice if you had some visual indication of which chargers were turned on and working, so you could choose before you maneuvered into the stall, hooked up the CCS cable, then failed to initiate a charge. Then had to check the screens of all the other chargers and ask the other...

Me too. I find the 150kW EA chargers will give me ~190kW peak, which is almost the max that the Rivian can take. And they tend to work first time, whereas the older model 350kW EA chargers tended to be hit or miss. (The new design seems a lot better to me ...). But if the only available charger...

Of course it's an opinion. I never said otherwise. And I explained my reasons for my opinion. I used "everyone" because "anyone" is obviously wrong, and "the majority of people" is too wordy. I never attributed "everyone" to you. But as long as you're picking on my word choice, wouldn't you...

True, but as I said the pattern has *always* been broken at the beginning of the year. One year it was 6 weeks, two other years it was 5 weeks. If you assume this is a holiday break, that would mean this year they cancelled all vacation and forced everyone to keep working in order to start work...

Absolutely. Going back three years now. Releases are every 4 weeks plus or minus a few days, and are numbered in increments of four based on the "starting" week (not the release week). A new release is "started" the same week the previous one is released. But there's always an extra few weeks...

Just speculation of course, but I feel 2025.3 is probably just an ad hoc release to support the new Dune Edition. New graphics etc. The next release is supposed to be 2025.6, so having a new general-purpose release three weeks early is unlikely.

You're never going to convince everyone to accept a "slower" charger when a "faster" one is available. And that choice doesn't always exist either - if there are only 350kW chargers at a site, everyone has to use those. I'm not against an informational notice, but I don't expect it will change...

Obviously? No. More elegant? Seriously? Less expensive? Not in general. I will concede the Tesla network is probably more reliable, but also we do not have comparable statistics between the Tesla network and CCS networks, and Tesla measures reliability differently (i.e. on a per-site basis...

Yes. Pretty much every charging network has a "membership" program where you can get cheaper rates by paying a monthly membership fee. And in order to take advantage of this you will usually have to use the app specific to that charging network. This is true of Tesla and Electrify America, etc...

RF antennas, especially low-profile PCB antennas like you find in cell phones, are very directional. And the protocols were designed for data communication, not distance detection. Holding your phone upright (like when taking a selfie) vs. holding it flat (like when putting it on a table) in...

@Zoidz: Everything you said sounds correct to me. I haven't looked at the protocol for quite a while, but I believe there is also a step where the isolation of the conductors is tested. I expect that would fail if AC was applied to the CCS DC pins. Regardless, any circuit expecting 400V+ of DC...

Well, duuuh.

Yes I was agreeing - I don't think the statement made by @Glembi2 is true. I wish people would take some time to verify the information before they start spreading alarmist claims like this. Bad things happen when people recklessly and negligently spread misinformation. On the NACS end, the AC...

Is this really true? Source? The communication protocol should prevent the current from flowing if it's the wrong type - after all that's the entire premise of the NACS design. I still think sharing the power pins for both AC and DC like NACS does is an accident waiting to happen, but in...

Yeah there's something funny going on there. I see the same thing. And if I choose one of my previous searches then the planner does find it but the map gets scaled to show the entire world rather than just the route to that previous location. And pinch zooming doesn't work. The map seems to...

First, not a rebate, it's a credit. And the terms of that IRS tax credit changed on August 17 2022. Rivian is doing you a huge favor by giving you a means to get the old credit, but you're free to get the current credit on your current taxes instead if you want - you'll just get a whole lot...
