If I recall correctly, Rivian is on a quarterly RSU vesting schedule. So each quarter when RSUs are vested, a portion is automatically sold off to cover taxes. This is all an automated process.

Possibly the high power cable connected to the charge port has loosened

If the truck detects the charge port getting too hot too quickly, it will reduce the charging power to protect itself. This can happen when the cooling system on the charging cable isn't performing well or there is contamination in the charging pins. I'll add that I'd the truck didn't protect...

https://insideevs.com/news/753915/shell-ea-evgo-tesla-cahrging/ Keep in mind RJ started the RAN program at the end of 2019. At the time, unless you had a Tesla, the only option was EA. He understood there had to be reliable charging in order to sell EVs and the Tesla network wasn't open at the...

This site is great for tracking all RAN sites and which are open to other EVs. https://rivianroamer.com/charging/networks/rivian-adventure-network

Not surprising given all the recent headwinds. Last quarter, Rivian had a net income of -$744 million, so they are negative about $8.2 million a day. Now the new administration comes in with an anti-ev stance and tried to kill NEVI funding which Rivian has been awarded for a number of their...

RAN is cheaper for Rivian owners. Look at pricing for an Open RAN site where it is typically about $0.10/kWh more expensive for non-Rivians.

As an outside observer, I would say, look at what Rivian is communicating as its priorities to Wall Street. Consider that many engineering resources can be shuffled around within the company in order to hit targets on the priorities.

I I certainly hope they bring it to market because a couple of my friends are working on it. I don't want them to be out of a job.

The Rivian bi-directional charger has been in development for a couple years now. Hopefully it sees the light of day.

It's all relative. I just paid about $7 a gallon for regular in Germany a week ago. Europe has been paying $7-$8 a gallon since at least 2007 when I spent a few months working in France.

It's actually been up on plugshare for a few weeks! I noticed it takes a few weeks from a site going live to actually showing on plugshare.

That would be on the cheap side. It's $5.39 down the corner from me.

It's free temporarily, just to help those affected by the wildfires.

In my Polestar2, it shows the percentage of energy consumed by HVAC. I've never seen more than 10%, but I also live in SoCal. The easiest thing to do to extend range is drive slower as aero drag increases to the square of speed. Any cyclist knows this first-hand.

It's being worked on. I know a few of the engineers. Timing is confidential of course.

All vehicles of the last 20 years use brakes for traction and stability control. I had a buddy burn through his rear brake pads in 2k miles on his Porsche.

Building everything in-house saves them a lot of money. I imagine they both can leverage the supply chains of the vehicle sides too.

Looks like almost 250 new NEVI funded sites came online in the last week and a half of the year. Just under 300 total across the nation are now online. Utah definitely needs to request more funding. Texas has about 3x the amount of corridor miles compared to Utah, but got 12x the funding. So...

My guess is the rollout will be steady but slow. Rivian has a single priority and that's getting to profitability ASAP. Adding any new charging sites actually goes against that goal because of the timely for return on investment for a charging site. We should be thankful for any new RAN sites.
