    AC / Level 2 charging speed drops after few minutes on warm days

    Since I got my R1S in early December, I have been using a Lectron 40A charger. There were no issues initially. After a while, I found that occasionally charging suddenly stops after an hour or less. I filed a ticket and Rivian told me they can't investigate since it's a 3rd party charger. If I...

    What is the math behind efficiency calculation?

    In my 1200 miles driving in 3 weeks, I’ve never got at or above 2mi/kWh for a round trip. I understand lots of energy now consumed by heating. Today, I went to a mountain pass and came back and efficiency is showing 1.65 mi/kWh. Total consumption is 24.7 kWh and distance travel is 81.5 miles...

    How is the public charging situation in north and west of Yellowstone?

    I am driving to Yellowstone from Seattle area by end of June. Now that looks like my R1S may actually arrive by then, I started to think about the charging situation there. So far I can see the last EA charger is at Butte, Montana. After that pretty much no reliable L3 chargers. Inside the part...

    Rivian's Q3 quarterly loss is expected between $1.18B to $1.28B

    Not that I don't believe they will be successful, but they have a long way to go to prove themselves. 48k reservation number is not that great compared to what Tesla (they got 500k reservation for model 3 on debut with lot lower valuation) and Ford gets as reservation. As hiring is ramping up...
