  1. Trip from San Francisco bay area to Indio, CA

    Just a couple of weeks ago I did Palm Springs to Sac, which is even longer and only stopped twice to charge. Below is the data. The only reason there's 3 charges is because someone in Santa Nella came and plugged in right next to me so they reduced my rate. I moved to an open unit so I could...
  2. Trip from San Francisco bay area to Indio, CA

    The OP did the trip with more stops than what's needed. You can easily get from Sac to Kettleman City in the winter on a full charge and then from Kettleman to LB on the 80% from Kettleman. In the warmer temps you could go from Sac to Buttonwillow on a full charge. Coming back it requires 2...
  3. Trip from San Francisco bay area to Indio, CA

    As someone who goes from Sac to OC all the time, I can tell you that neither of these locations will "always have a few open". I've seen both full a number of times. Also, I really hope that Rivian doesn't continue with the handicap EV charging stalls (Santa Nella). Legally we can be towed...
  4. my R1S charging nightmare

    I suggest you read what I said in various posts. I quoted that section of the owners manual myself but said that I don't know a single person on earth who thinks overnight = "extended time". The OP left the vehicle overnight and it bricked. I'm also very opposed to judging someone's...
  5. my R1S charging nightmare

    While I agree that there's a message, it doesn't imply anywhere, including the owners manual that leaving it over night will brick the truck. I think most people would assume it's just like a low fuel warning on an ice vehicle. Why is everyone so opposed to manufacturers making their EVs...
  6. my R1S charging nightmare

    Well known to who? The people who frequent the forums? You assume everyone who owns a Rivian participates here? There's likely thousands, if not tens of thousands, of people who buy a Rivian and never come on the forums. How do you suppose they "know"? Ignorance is not a failure to...
  7. Tesla Universal Wall Connector home charger - it's here!

    You'll keep HEAD if you ask them to upgrade you to the latest. Once it gets applied it doesn't go away.
  8. Tesla Universal Wall Connector home charger - it's here!

    The firmware to make it compatible with Rivian isn't available online. It's something they have to push. Also, the best way to push a version change manually is to connect to the AP and go to 192.168.92.1/service
  9. Tesla Universal Wall Connector home charger - it's here!

    Call support (888) 518-3752 ... Option 3, then option 3 again (home power wall charger support). They need to push a lower (downgraded) firmware to the unit to support charging with Rivian. Once that update is applied you can call them again and ask them to upgrade to the latest firmware and...
  10. my R1S charging nightmare

    The fact is that not everyone who buys an EV thinks like those of us who've had EVs for a while, stalk the forums and know that there's certain things you just can't do. Especially the OP having had a prior EV that didn't have the same behavior. This led him to believe that there was nothing...
  11. Yay! Santa Nella RAN Rivian charging station is OPEN!

    I posted about it here when it first opened: https://www.rivianforums.com/forum/threads/ran-rivian-charging-stations-locations-map-via-google-maps.1721/post-452275
  12. Charger Circuit Breaker Type

    You can use 6awg THHN for 60A, but it would need to 4awg if you go NM. If they are running conduit and individual conductors then 6awg would be fine. If it's in a shielded bundle then it would have to be 4/3 (4awg) for 60A.
  13. Vampire drain - what's the latest battery % loss people are getting?

    I have Gear Guard disabled at home so I don't know what drain looks like with it on, but in your DMs you'll see that in the last 2 days, not being driven at my house I've lost 0 miles of range. That includes 13 wakes. As to what other people are seeing, or have seen in prior firmware updates I...
  14. Vampire drain - what's the latest battery % loss people are getting?

    I've seen those posts, but I think most of them are older, where the R1s had more drain and if they have the cameras on then well, it's gonna suck down power. I'll DM you my logs.
  15. Vampire drain - what's the latest battery % loss people are getting?

    Vampire drain on my R1T is almost non-existent. I don't think people are testing it correctly. How many times did PaaK or a FOB wake the vehicle etc? All of that has to be accounted for. You can't just reset the trip counter and then assume it's all vampire drain. In the last 3 days I've...
  16. First RAN charge required the app

    Considering it happened right after there was a thread on this forum about EVgo Autocharge+ supposedly being a "security threat" I'm no so sure it wasn't related, but I don't have evidence of that either way. Just happened to be at the same time.
  17. First RAN charge required the app

    Yup and they had they said it should work. I then contacted EVgo again and they said "Rivian doesn't know what they are talking about because we are the ones who disabled it". I don't use EVgo hardly ever so I really didn't care to pursue it any further since it didn't appear I was getting...
  18. Phantom Braking while in Driver+

    Rivian vehicles aren't excluded from the phantom braking, other brands (1 in particular) just gets mentioned all the time because people have some weird obsession with them. It's normal to have some level of phantom braking with ADAS systems that rely, in part, on vision. I've had my truck...
  19. RAN Rivian Charging Stations Locations Map via Google Maps

    The pull through units are about 50 yards from all of the others. They are easy to miss. When you turn left at the hotel look towards the driver's side where the field is. Don't be distracted by the 48 Tesla chargers and the 4 RAN on the right. You pull straight on into them from the road on...
