thanks for the idea, cheers

I have routinely tried to dial back current, though always after plugging in. I will see if I can do prior to plugging in, perhaps through the scheduling feature. Please explain your first suggestion of not plugging in vehicle until portable charger has completed its boot diag (diagnostic?)...

Have managed to charge all night on 110v. Today will test vehicle charging at a DC fast charger and a public AC level 2 charger. By the way, I have tried throttling down amps when charging my vehicle at home on 240v/ level 2.

I'm getting a charging error on my Rivian 2025 Large Pack R1T when trying to charge via my Rivian portable charger cable into an EV-rated NEMA 14-50 outlet powered by EG4 inverter and EG4 batteries (offgrid house). This is the second red charging light event in the last 2 weeks... A couple of...

Finally got videos done for my fall 2025 trip from Vancouver BC area to Thunder Bay ON and back with some observations, review, scenery, middle aged recreation, and good music interspersed. Will be posting further videos in the coming months on offgrid living and set up, living with and charging...

don't tell me I made a mistake buying Gen 1 :) k cheers, hopefully mine'll be sorted soon!

ya my front left is consistently (like every time I park and look at the wheels) lower. When driving sometimes it seems level, other times not. I had mobile tech look at it a couple of weeks ago and he said no error codes; he suggested that it should fix itself once I drive, but this doesn't...

Thanks for the details. Ill share my cross Canada road trip video soon when I get part 2 done. Cheers

glad to see some others would find value in Rivian improving the app in this respect. Myself, I can't set up a routine as things are always changing through the weeks and seasons and power usage. cheers

Rivian, please update your app to allow for easy adjustment of the charge current. It was so easy to do in the Tesla app and I wish I didn't have to go through such an awkward process to do so in the Rivian app. Thank you P.s. I'm in an offgrid home and so adjusting charge current is often...

Thanks for the heads up... if winter comes back I'll get a chance to try out the chains I picked up. Fair point that when wheels are rotating the chains fling outward

Will do... the situation here at my house on occasion (e.g., once every two winters perhaps) is deep snow at a temp just below zero such that it's crazy slippery), but the local recreation area with required chains is an ice situation

ya, helpful, thanks. I suspected that chains could go on rear wheels, even 20" wheels with a tire diameter of 34", with vehicle in high position, but I'll get back to this thread once I test out fit.

ha well maybe the socks vs. chains :)

thanks for people weighing in. No regulation to get up and down from my house, just a nasty hill. The local rec area blocks vehicles without chains; not sure if socks would pass muster. Again to be clear, I've already got winter tires on (Blizzaks), but these aren't good enough in certain...

Oh I see you didn't realize: I am running dedicated winter tires: Blizzaks. The chains are for serious conditions getting to and from my house that occasionally appear each winter, and a local recreation area which requires chains. Both short distances and going slow to prevent catastrophic...

yes I've read that, yet socks are not an option. The application will be short distance, slow moving. Can put in high suspension.

I've got Blizzaks LT275/65R20 and need to have chains for a local destination. The local store has chains that say they fit this dimension of tire, but vehicle clearance during turns etc. is a separate matter. Anyone have any updates on whether chains can work?

air pressure seems to really matter for grip on slippery white stuff: to add to my previous note, I kept my studded Hakkas lower, but can't recall PSI... so this is all to say that my sense so far that my Rivian is not doing so well on snow has a number of parameters that may mean my comparison...

Thus far - first winter, R1T Dual with new Blizzaks, snow mode - i can't say I'm super impressed, though I've only had a short time to test. My house is up a road that doesn't get plowed in winter, and thus far the only challenging conditions have been the most difficult: just below freezing...
