Different cars and maybe different file compressions, but 128GB is what comes standard with every Tesla. Never had an issue. Lasts awhile.

More or less. Rated current is the continuous current allowed for an extended period. The max rating means it can pull 650 amps for a short period of time, which is what R2 requests at a low state of charge for max 5-10 minutes.

Do you think 800v battery packs don’t get to 50-55C? You think the 400kW they’re pulling is “chilly” bc of 800v architecture? Nah man they all get hot, proper cooling is needed at all times, 800v just allows you to charge faster not cooler.

OP lives in Nevada and it is NOT a CARB state. One data point, need more.

“Not an option for most” What does this mean? There’s more NACS stalls in the USA than CCS. Not hard to find or use anywhere.

Hasn’t been updated for R2 but says all R1 vehicles get J1772 for free https://rivian.com/support/article/what-charging-equipment-comes-with-a-rivian

Maybe I’m wrong but I thought J1772 was always included and CARB states could get mobile charger and CCS adapter also for free.

J1772 adapters are very cheap bc they’re simple AC charging. Tesla gives them for free too.

Yes, J1772 is always included.

Samsung one has received much better reviews on here. https://a.co/d/0dRnsRNr

May have been damaged in transit and moved to become a demo vehicle.

Agreed and that’s why I have a CCS adapter bc you never know.

Gotcha. Certainly in that case at a hotel or something I would definitely use CCS. 👍

4-8 weeks seemingly meaning closer to 8 weeks than 4. Not good for ramping bc you need to get these cars delivered to continually make way for more and more deliveries.

You won’t need anything else, but it is recommended to use a hard wired charger for ultimate safety as it takes out variables like the quality of outlet installed. Plug in chargers (outlets) aren’t unsafe, hard wired is just safer. If you do stick with the mobile charger, be sure to install a...

I only charge on road trips and use the trip planner, so I can’t foresee a time where I’ll need to stop at a CCS station to charge. I don’t seek out Tesla stations on purpose, they’re just everywhere. If the trip planner says IONNA is a perfect stop, then so be it. The point is native NACS is...

Yep, I of course own a CCS adapter if a crazy situation ever occurred. But R2 has a native NACS port in the correct spot for superchargers, so why go out of your way for something else and use an adapter? Won’t be blocking anyone and feeling the hate if the site is busy lol. Happy to use Walmart...

For me I never have needed to use a CCS station. With the ubiquitous nature of Tesla superchargers there's always one around when traveling. I don't want to go out of my way to a less reliable CCS station and also use an adapter. Everyone is different but I know when I pull up to a...

One point of order first: to get Rivian advertised charging times you only need a 500 amp charger, which all Tesla superchargers are for example. To get better than their advertised charging times by 1-2 minutes you need a 600 amp charger. This is only if you plugin at 10% or less also. If you...
