  2. Which would buy, a Typhoon Pro or the Rivian/Tesla NACS DC adapter?

    If you have neither and in need of one soon, which one would you prefer? I have the Typhoon Pro (new version) which is brand new and just received the Rivian complimentary one. Since I donā€™t need both, Iā€™m considering selling one via this forum and wondering which would have better ā€œvalueā€ for...

  4. [Solved - high home HVAC use] Crazy electric bills from home charging. Is charger function to blame?

    My usual electric usage was almost tripled in my most recent bill ~3000 kWh. in the same period, I've charged around 500kWh I have not added anything new that could increase usage so much - sure it was hot several days but no way my AC ate this much. This isnā€™t my first bill since the charger...
  5. Inaugural parking lot ding…

    ā€¦from a runaway cart!! The dent itself isnā€™t too bad but miffed at cart management and people attitudes to carts in general. I had just rolled into my bay, was finishing a phone call so hadnā€™t ā€œparkedā€ yet. Heard a bump from behind and took me a second or two to think to hit the incident...
  6. When your A2Z adapter doesn’t lock onto the charger…

    ā€¦try the next stall. This morning, went to the local Tesla DCFC charger to test out my brand new A2Z adapter ahead of a weekend road trip. Unfortunately, I couldnā€™t take any pictures but Iā€™d heard the adapter can be hard to unlock once used but mine wouldnā€™t lock (the one underneath) properly...
  7. Heatpump is the biggest upgrade in Gen 2, imo

    Not to digress too much but I originally came here to post my efficiency findings on hot days - the steep drops are when I roll up windows and rely on the AC (hit a major road). And I am not even the type that blasts AC at 66Ā°F. Iā€™m happy at 72-73Ā°. Pictures are taken on different days and...

  10. NJ State authorized installers for L2 home chargers

    Has anyone installed a Tesla Universal Charger at home, including adding required circuitry in New Jersey? Or some other Rivian compatible charger perhaps. (I'm considering the Tesla Universal Charger for a few different reasons, including being future proof). I'm in Middlesex county. Also...
  11. [New Jersey] Getting similar/sequential plates for new Rivian

    Hello, Northeast and specifically, NJ! Iā€™m begun my purchasing process and was doing some due diligence wrt registration and it looks like I can get a "1" sticker for my current car's license plate and get the same plate with "2" at the end for my new car (in this case, R1S). But I couldn't...
  12. Preparing for purchase - what does my guide mean here?

    I picked something from the shop and got a VIN assigned and a guide. First email from her says the following which Iā€™ve asked for clarification but didnā€™t get any response since Friday afternoon; thought Iā€™d ask here. ā€œWeā€™ll need all the steps completed no later than 3 PM, three business days...

  14. Follow up - Preparing to purchase - home charger

    Iā€™m considering getting a level 2 charger installed at home. Now that NACS is real and probably be the standard for future EVs I might buy, should I just go for a Tesla charger? Sure, Iā€™ll need an adapter at home but trying to be future proof as well. Appreciate your thoughts!

    To everyone who had crazy delays at a body shop getting something fixedā€¦ not to be rude, but did you just not have Rivian insurance? Iā€™m preparing to purchase and came across the below that by itself sounds like a no-brainer unless rates are way off. Or is it just marketing hype?
  16. Finally…preparing to purchase!

    Hello, everyone! After threatening to ā€œpull the triggerā€ on my reservation and multiple questions on the forum, I finally found my number 2 choice in Glacier+Forest Edge (Double Forest being first), on the Shop earlier this week.

  18. R1S Shop filters - lowest price vs lowest lease

    Especially in the R1S shop, I see there are additional incentives for leasing a Quad motor vs a Dual Motor. Has anyone noticed this or know what it could be? Just a higher residual?
  19. R1S lease details in coming weeks

    After a recent test drive/meet your Rivian event, I was reached out to by a ā€œsalespersonā€.

  20. [Musings] The R1S is the car I want...

    ....but [perhaps] not the car I need ? To clarify, I have no doubts about the vehicle itself. The company and RJ have been increasingly more convincing in recent times. All issues, complains of SC experiences aside, I'd be ready for this car. And I do need a second car soon enough. BUT, I...
