For entertainment value only: I know, itās only 15 minutes worth. But itās still nice to see.
R1S, Minnesota, about 35F, back roads about 40 mph in Conserve.
Well, itās not because a mouse chewed through a wiring harness to a camera. If one goes down completely, the whole system goes offline. Ask me how I know this.
Thereās no software interface with the Rivian EVSE by itself, to my knowledge. The Rivian app controls use of the chargerā I doubt one could connect to a Rivian EVSE without a handshake first via the app.
I have two charging locationsā home and cabin. Each has a Rivian wall charger. Last week at the cabin my wife actually set a schedule, for it to finish charging late morning before we departed.

Tomorrow, Iāll do a 3-hour charge just before...
If you take a drive of any length, watch the projected range change as the battery warms up. Also, keep notes if you want, on the relationship between your speeds and remaining range. Multiple variables will alter your projected range in real time as you drive. Over time you'll get a feel for...
I made an appointment at the Mpls. SC in early December to have a few things done on my R1S. At 16K miles itās time for another tire rotation, but the biggie was that the cameras had all gone down, and the vehicle was (still) confusing me with my wife and randomly changing our cabin settings...
A couple of years ago I bought this ā51 Silver Streak Clipper, which predates the modern Airstream Corp. trailers. Wife and I will start completely restoring it this year. Itās about 19 ft. long, and with slightly better aerodynamics than your standard Airstream, Iām hoping we might get slightly...
