  1. Rivian advised me to not use my Tesla wall charger

    I agree, but there is no way to magically melt bus bars in a panel. If the truck was the source of the heat then it would have tripped the breaker. End of story. Something else is happening. I don't know what, but something else is happening. Just my opinion. I'll gladly come charge my...
  2. Rivian advised me to not use my Tesla wall charger

    The results from amperage checks on my chargers wiring were as expected. 40A on both phases. Overall measurement on the main (whole house) at the time was 51A and 55A. I would be checking amp draw from the circuit in question vs the amp draw from the entire panel it is fed from. Did either...
  3. Rivian advised me to not use my Tesla wall charger

    I would be curious to see if the amperage measured on the actual charger wiring shows any discrepancy. I'm taking measurements on my main, and my charger right now charging my VW I.D 4 with and without my 5 ton heat pump running. I'll do the same for my rivian and post the results. Given the...
  4. Rivian advised me to not use my Tesla wall charger

    It shouldn't matter if only one side of a breaker heats up. You can essentially build a double pole breaker by mechanically linking two single pole breakers together. If either side heats past the melting point it should trip both legs. I don't think we have enough information to rule...
  5. Rivian advised me to not use my Tesla wall charger

    What was the amperage capacity for the melted main breaker? I'm still amazed at hearing about melted breakers. They should be tripping before they melt, no?
  6. Rivian advised me to not use my Tesla wall charger

    I find this extremely fascinating. Breakers should never melt. Heat is the method that causes them to trip. If they've melted then the breaker failed at its only job. The R1T was my first electric vehicle and for that reason I decided to install a Rivian WC by myself. #6 copper is...
  7. 25k miles, 17 months, 10K kwh on original factory 21" tires

    I have 27K on my AT's and am expecting extremely similar results (2.17m/kwh average). I take mine in to be rotated on April 23rd and am hoping to make it to near 35K.
  8. 2024.03 Software Update *BETA* (Quick Controls, Individual Passenger Window Locking, Ride Feel & Ride Height Improvements & More)

    My wife's Volkswagen I.D.4 has customizable RGB interior lighting that we didn't have to pay a dime for. I'm disappointed this has been reserved for Halloween only. Will be even more disappointed if this becomes a paid feature.
