  1. Bi-Directional Charging

    From what I understand, Rivian has given us a promissory note that the hardware will support bidirectional charging and that the software will be changed and boxes will be available once a National standard is agreed upon. So I do not believe the software currently supports Quasar or any other...
  2. Advice Needed: Northern Colorado to San Antonio Area Texas

    I took the I10 Pecos Artesia Santa Rosa Alamosa Route to Leadville and back in June. It went great. Here are my thoughts. Plenty of chargers on I10. One of the plugs at the Ozona charger is slow so it is free. If you want to take a long nap use the slow plug. The hotel has a decent...
  3. Camping In The R1S - Tips and Advice?

    I have camped 7 nights in my R1S and have had each occurrence happen once. So 5 peaceful nights (for me and my neighbors) and 2 nights of crazy sleep interruptions. You are all correct it relates to the power settings I have fiddled with them. I Was in camp courtesy mode both times but...
  4. 3 month service wait for truck with hood stuck open!? - time to move on from the R1T

    Is there currently a way to “turn off the power hood”? Or are you saying Rivian should give us the ability to turn off the power hood?
  5. 48A vs. 40A for home charging??

    Good catch. I should have said I charge at a “nominal 40A”. My charger (or the firmware) automatically drops it down to 32A using the 80% rule. This is a good spot to point out the need to manually lower the charge amperage to 80% of the breaker rating when using a dog bone adaptor or...
  6. Is there any news on Rivian’s providing power at home?

    Yes an update from Rivian would be nice. Last I remember they assured us the R1 had the hardware capability with a promissory note that the OTA and external box would be available after the national standard was approved. The recent silence is concerning since people consider V2H charging when...
  7. 48A vs. 40A for home charging??

    I charge at 40 amps and have never had a problem. I pulled wire for 60amps, installed a 40 amp breaker and a Hubble 14-50. If the promissory note for a V2H charging box ever happens, I can yank the 14-50 plug put in a bigger breaker and hard wire the yet unseen magic box to the 60amp feed.
  8. Hot Spot on/off not working

    So it seems others are having hot spot malfunctions. A reset seldom fixes mine. Is this going to go the way of the wireless charger that just never gets fixed ?
  9. Hot Spot on/off not working

    Has anyone else had issues turning the hot spot on and off? When my hot spot is off l can go to either location to turn it on, the slide bubble turns yellow for on but the hot spot does not come on (neither sends a signal or changes the icon to on). I go back to the setting screen and the hot...
  10. R1S Ceiling Cargo Net solutions?

    Did about a week of camping w a mattress in the back of my R1S. Everything worked out well, but since everything slides off the ledges, there is a need for a shelf or cargo net to store: phones, tablets, flashlights, and pastries for breakfast in bed. Does anyone have an idea how to ceiling...
  11. Armorall streaked my interior

    What should I have used? What can I do to get rid of the blotches on my Forest Edge interior?
  12. DIY solution for storing Torx 20/25 just in case -- in trailer hitch

    Brilliant. Sharing good ideas is what is great about this forum.
  13. Video: Rivian house power backup of critical loads WITHOUT waiting for bi-directional charging to be implemented by Rivian

    Your install is interesting, well thought out and, well executed. My critical needs are less than yours. Currently sans a decent bidirectional system I will use HD extension cords to run my refrigerators, air handler, router and lighting. Not all at once and not as graceful as your system...
  14. Is Rivian Charging for Charging at Service Centers?

    I got some small warranty work performed at the Austin SC yesterday and when I arrived to pick up my R1S it was plugged in (adding about 11% SOC). I said “thanks for topping me off”, unplugged and drove away with no charges. Maybe the payment feature is for non-Rivians or Rivians passing...
  15. Anyone else notice PAAK working worse after 2023.6.2 update?

    My recent problems support your post. I received my R1S in late January 2023 so I did not experience your early issues with the early updates. My iphone worked flawlessly from the start using the late 2022 software. Once I updated with the first OTA of 2023 both our phones started failing to...
  16. Rivian R1T imported to China, Critical Battery Issue appeared!

    Good post, and my point exactly. You said it well “there are clever ways to protect IP”. That is why I brought up the clever way video games are protected across all regions and vice versa. But since it might offend the censors in a very large country my comment was blocked, mislabeled as...
  17. Rivian R1T imported to China, Critical Battery Issue appeared!

    US prevents some of its tech from working outside our hemisphere. Other countries do the same. I said nothing racist. Do not call me a racist for stating that corporations like to protect there profits and products.
  18. Rivian R1T imported to China, Critical Battery Issue appeared!

    It was not off topic. I gave a very valid guess at what could be the problem : as on-topic as any of the other guesses. The tone was dead pan. Besides if chippy bad tone relies were censored this forum would be a lot more sparce. The censorship was for other reasons than off topic and tone.

    Previously on this thread I posted the very real Previously in this thread I posted they very real possibility that this man’s Rivian may be having problems due to some type of copyright protection similar to what happens when a foreign video games are brought into our country.
