Yeah, and also...there are SO many CCS-only charging stations, that it's kinda dumb to exclude them.

Yeah, I noticed that too. According to comments from both A2Z and Lectron shared in the above video, they can safely handle the 600 amps for any reasonable DC fast charging duration. So because of that, I went ahead and ordered the A2Z adapter. But it'd be nice if the UL rating was updated for...

FWIW, I just ordered a new CCS adapter from A2Z. According to Tom's video, the R2 should be good with any CCS adapter that carries the UL 2252 certification.

I went and checked my old Tesla CCS adapter, and it's not rated for the kind of amperage the R2 can pull from DC fast chargers. This is the video about the amperage rating problem: My 2022 Tesla-branded CCS adapter:

Thanks for posting this, OP. Just based on the feedback I'm seeing, you might want to drive around for a half hour so the cabin in conditioned, and then redo your Pet Mode test.

Look at the comments under the video, and he posted a pic of the charging graph. Apparently it showed up after the charging session ended.

Well this has me feeling good about being further back in the reservation line. Hopefully Rivian is working hard to debug the software.

Plymouth gang in the house! My first car was a 1983 Plymouth Turismo. It was black, but did have fancy red factory decals to boast about the 2.2 liter engine that delivered about 85 hp.

I'm starting to think Esker Silver is low-key the best color choice. Not just because of the cost, but because it has more visual depth than the other options. From a marketing standpoint, instead of Esker Silver, I would've called this color "Mercury."

Perfect, thanks!

This is what confuses me about Plaid...I don't think they have an app. So I'm guessing they're just in the background of all/most banking apps?

I know what an ACH transfer is obviously, but I'm gonna have to figure out what "Plaid" is.

FWIW, Zack's wife Cambry (from the JerryRigEverything YT channel) was able to close the R2 frunk from her wheelchair.

I wonder what Rivian considers "near" a service center. Like within 30 minutes, 1 hour, 3 hours, etc.

I specifically checked the OP's flair to make sure he's talking about the R1S. Obviously, it's different with the truck since there's no enclosed storage behind the backseats. But I'm glad you got a kick out of it.

Oh, so the latch itself is automatic? I assumed there was a spring mechanism you had to push the hood into. That's a nice unexpected feature for me.

I think this makes a huge difference. I specifically checked the OP's flair to make sure he drives an R1S before I commented earlier that a majority of people probably don't use the frunk as much as he does.

I'm guessing you're a rare outlier who uses the frunk that often. That's a bummer for you, but I doubt 90% of owners will be in their frunk more than weekly. Rivian had to make a lot of decisions to lower the cost and complexity of the R2 so they could meet volume and price targets, and the...

I'd love to know the length of the R2 at its absolute longest, when the rear gate is raising and lowering. That's gonna be a factor in how far you need to pull into the garage, or even if some people will be able to open the gate when they're parked inside.
