It's just dirt in the hinge since only the tunnel itself is sealed! Open it, run a hose on the hinge, and work the door back and forth a bit while the water's running to wash the dirt out. Easy fix!
Tesla did it, why not Rivian? Tesla has a program where you can pay $450 to retrofit older models so they can use Tesla's CCS adapter and charge at CCS stations. I'd gladly pay $450+ to retrofit a Rivian to NACS.
I think this is pretty region dependent. Where I go, most Tesla Superchargers are pretty empty. Taking up two stalls for 20 minutes wouldn't be an issue! All the Tesla owners I know are super stoked about NACS becoming the standard. It means more money to build more superchargers, and more 3rd...
It's not a perfect experience but it's better than no experience! I have places I'd like to go that I literally can't get to with the current CCS network. If I could use the CCS network and the Tesla network, that would be amazing for me! Most CCS charger companies have announced NACS cable...
I might be misunderstanding but, in that scenario, couldn't you just use a NACS to CCS adapter and charge at the hypothetical cheaper and better CCS station? Switching to NACS just gives us the option to use more chargers. Just like how Teslas aren't locked to only using Tesla chargers, a Rivian...
