  1. Just had my favorite Rivian experience

    I love loading / unloading groceries from the frunk and getting looks. Even had one lady drive in circles around the parking lot to get a better look. I eventually waved politely, but she just stared as if her brain couldn't process what she was seeing. Never asked any questions, never...
  2. West Virginia is a Rivian Dead Zone

    I'm not sure I'd trust it to hit 80kw, but I admit I'm not familiar with how this might do load-sharing. It's listed as 2x 62.5 chargers. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Oddly, it doesn't show up on PlugShare when you apply a 50kw+ filter.
  3. West Virginia is a Rivian Dead Zone

    Also watchfully waiting for this to happen...
  4. West Virginia is a Rivian Dead Zone

    I more or less live at the apex of where you drew the oval and diameter line - northeastern Kentucky (you basically drew a circle around my primary driving territory) - and annually need to drive through WV to visit my folks. I keep checking PlugShare hoping that at least ONE 50kw+ charger goes...
  5. 2022 vs 2023 Tax credit…Again

    Agreed. Perhaps my post came across as an unintentional over-simplification. Appreciate the thoughtful response!
  6. 2022 vs 2023 Tax credit…Again

    This may have been answered elsewhere in this thread, but I would assume those of us with pre-March '22 preorders and keeping our config under 80k would still qualify? Or at least that's my hope with a Apr-Jun delivery estimate and a $76k price tag on my configuration.
  7. Tesla releases J1772 Wall Connector Home Charger (For Non-Teslas)

    Is that for the Tesla EVSE? I haven't seen those options in the app. How are you doing it?
  8. Tesla releases J1772 Wall Connector Home Charger (For Non-Teslas)

    That's the one I use - in black, so it blends in better. Best one on the market for high amperage and compact design!
  9. Tesla releases J1772 Wall Connector Home Charger (For Non-Teslas)

    For the $150 savings you could get another adapter to keep in a vehicle... just saying.
  10. Tesla releases J1772 Wall Connector Home Charger (For Non-Teslas)

    A lot of hotels and such still have Tesla destination chargers, too. An adapter is a great idea to have with you at all times for L2 charging - whether you drive a Tesla or non-Tesla EV.
  11. Tesla releases J1772 Wall Connector Home Charger (For Non-Teslas)

    Curious what would you want to control on the charger directly via an app? Charge scheduling and limits are set in the vehicle, after all. Asking b/c I can't think of what I'd use it for, but you may have a good idea. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
  12. AMA with Tony Caravano, Head of Rivian Customer Engagement

    QUICK! Everyone switch to Limestone w/ Ocean Coast! For...reasons...
  13. Tesla releases J1772 Wall Connector Home Charger (For Non-Teslas)

    The Tesla proprietary charger will also work, but requires an adapter (Tesla > J1772). We have two installed on a single circuit, load-shared, so we can charge our Model Y and MINI Cooper SE simultaneously at 48A max. When both are plugged in each gets 24A, but usually they aren't charging at...
  14. MY ACCELERATOR PEDAL BROKE OFF (in Rivian R1T)!!

    Headline: BREAKING! SAFETY ISSUE AFFECTING 33% OF ALL RIVIAN SUVS!
  15. My first mini-trip......It's not a Tesla!! LOL

    Owning a Tesla, we really don't worry about it. Just got back from an 1800-mi road trip and loved the charging experience. But seeing the exceptionally mixed experiences with EA, EVgo, etc. is what I see as the biggest risk in buying a Rivian. It's a shame that the biggest concern I have isn't...
  16. My first mini-trip......It's not a Tesla!! LOL

    I'm talking about daily driving, not road trips. If financials are a major factor in the decision to go electric (they aren't in mine), then some home/work charging for just daily driving is the biggest savings impact. No way would I want to use - or recommend - L2 charging for a roadtrip...
  17. My first mini-trip......It's not a Tesla!! LOL

    So, I disagree a bit. I don't think that DCFC should be anything but competitively priced against gas. Not to the degree that it's the financial tipping point because most of those savings will come from L2 (home / work) charging, not from DCFC. If you're only comparing gas prices to DCFC, the...
  18. My first mini-trip......It's not a Tesla!! LOL

    I think most light-duty trucks will cap out at around 24MPG, but the average is going to be closer to 20-22. If you're comparing trucks with (near but oh-so-far away) equal performance, that number will lean MUCH farther into your favor. :)
