    Incompatible Tesla v3 Superchargers. Has anyone tried it anyway?

    The v3 superchargers need a hardware upgrade to enable non-Tesla charging. I would expect one listed as incompatible to be incompatible.

    Silverado pricing -- ouch...

    The Evalanche is the only thing on the horizon that might replace my R1T, but it would be a mainstream version not $100k+ RST. I'm biased in that I bought the original Avalanche new in 2002, kept it for twelve years, and until the Rivian often lamented I ever got rid of it. The versatility is...

    Tesla V2 / V3 Supercharger question

    Its hardware. Last year I ran into a Tesla tech at a V3 installation near me that was only a few months old. He was upgraded hardware to allow non-Tesla charging. That station is on the NACS list.

    New Mustang Mach-e GT Rally EV beats Rivian R3X to the punch

    Surprised they built it but I should hope even dysfunctional Ford could "beat Rivian to the punch" since they first showed the rally Mockey about two years ago.

    Anyone else having Charge Port door issue after 2024.07.02?

    I’m with you on this and was another victim that had the actuator replaced. I told the SC folks there just simply is no way all these failures are a coincidence. They sympathized but aren’t in a position to deal with potential OTA issues. Updates do not require the trucks to be plugged in...

    Why does EA let random strangers stop your charge?

    Pretty sure this isn‘t just an EA problem btw. You can stop a chargepoint session from the screen. Can‘t speak to EVGo as i have only used their overpriced chargers once. That common EA station design is confusing. They need large signs that say “only one cable can be used at a time” and logic...

    2024.07.03 Software Update Released

    Exactly what happened to mine. Picked it up yesterday. At least the new actuator opens a bit further so better clears the side marker light. Bonus was they replaced my power tonneau with the new version while they had the truck.

    Nashville Owner's Meetup (3/21/2024 @ 6pm)

    I know... I know... priorities. Three hour trip back home and 530am work day are not compatible for those of us far from the delusional college lifestyle 😆 At least I have a hybrid work schedule so there's always a 50% chance the next one will be favorable. Y'all have fun tonight!

    I need you guys to hold one of these when i don’t need to be at work the next day. I’m 0-for-2. And this time my truck is already at the Franklin SC without me 😄

    The origins of the Rivian turn signal sound

    There is a 20k Hertz podcast episode on automotive sounds that includes an interview with the creators of the Rivian sounds with explanation of many of them.

    Anyone else having Charge Port door issue after 2024.07.02?

    Yeah, I'm basically equal distance between two service centers in neighboring states.

    Anyone else having Charge Port door issue after 2024.07.02?

    Yeah, my experiences have been very good anyway but they seem to be hustling to fix it since the vehicle is unusable. I just wish I had had enough range to drive the 160miles to a SC to get a shot at a loaner while it's there. 😆

    Frunk Won't Close

    Funny, but frunk is decidedly not a Tesla term. It existed for decades before Tesla existed.

    Anyone else having Charge Port door issue after 2024.07.02?

    Good luck! i wasn’t given that option.

    Anyone else having Charge Port door issue after 2024.07.02?

    They want to tow mine to the service center Wednesday. I suggested that i would rather wait for the almost certainly needed software fix since other trucks are having the issue post the latest update. They are concerned waiting could result in a dead battery and even worse issues.

    Anyone else having Charge Port door issue after 2024.07.02?

    Yep, and as all three of us experiencing this issue have said this is an exception to that rule ;)

    Anyone else having Charge Port door issue after 2024.07.02?

    This has just happened to my truck. Updated Wed or Thu last week. Charged it Friday night post OTA. Just got home from church and charge door won’t open. infotainment reset and vehicle reset had no effect. Been on the phone with service and looking to hear back tomorrow. Thankfully i’m home and...

    Anyone get their Tesla Adapter yet?

    The Tesla site already shows what chargers will be available.

    Charge port location poll: what standardized location would you like to see?

    I like the idea of front center (or rear center but problematic for a truck). It could be one of the few things Renault.... err "Nissan"... has gotten right in recent decades 😆

    R2 have an air compressor?

    No air suspension so I would assume no compressor. back to the ol' trusty Milwaukee inflator! :)
