I keep a second charged full throttle battery in the Frunk with post adaptors set up and tools to get in and swap it in if my 12V dies unexpectedly on the road . I have never had to do it or use it yet. So far no 12v issues in 2.5 years.
You say replace it each year DIY, can you comment on how...
I had the same thing happen early with my 23 S. Was a quick fix and never happened again. Two year later Rivian swapped both front half shafts for "play". Again an easy fix. Hope you are sorted as well.
I have always plugged in when I get home to (maybe) help the 12V, but to also allow preheating to draw from shore. Based on This "engineering eplained" video : , I charge to 70% daily and in daily use rarely get below 50%. If the battery is a sponge absorbing electrons I try to stress its'...
For me its about the location. Urban (Manhattan) where charging, cost of parking a truck and risk of damage/vandalism is higher we take our older/smaller highlander hybrid. For all else its the "S".
My cost of service has only been tire rotations. I just wanted to point out that out there is a time cost as well. Charging at home and never needing a gas station is a huge time savings ….. a time is money!!
I keep a charged full throttle 12v battery under the floor in my frunk. I keep tools in the trailor hitch to get into the frunk if the car bricks and tools in the frunk to swap the 12v if needed. I have a print out of the ohmmu instructions in the storage bin. I have never had to use it, but I...
Thank you for posting this. I keep a charged full throttle battery with soonish battery posts attached in my frunk. I have just one 12V. I 3d dprinted a safety cover and spacing shim for installation and have tools in the frunk and trailor hitch to swap my 12V if it dies. good to know the hard...
I bought all the products for ceramic coating from adams polishes. Have still not gotten around to doing it. Any comments on there graphene ceramic coating ? TIA
I've never had a 12v issue, but every few weeks I check the low voltage read in the "ride" menu. For long trips I keep vehicle entry tools in the trailor hitch and a charged backup 12V in the frunk--- never had to use it yet......... Might not even work, but a bit gives me piece of mind.
I...
End 23' S ( Gen 1 production sweet spot IMO) . Does everyting I need it to and want it to. Really the only one in its size/class. Only minor issues that coincided with reg service. Estimating my next vehicle will be Gen 10 R1S FSD quad.
I love my stown n charge as well. I even purchased it before I got my car in 2023.
Certainly possible that the module that goes from the vehicle to the stow n charge could be replaced.
Have you checked with the company?
I believe they had another module for a similar product.
I would think...
Beacuse romex is in a tight sheath The NEC derates it and it is not acceptle for 48 amps. 6awg in a conduit sheds more heat and is code complient. Despite this many electricians will use 6awg romex on a 60 A breaker to a 48 v charger.
I was able to find 6/4 awg in flexible metal sheathing...
