I got the dreaded replace 12v battery warning earlier this month, I was out of the battery warranty for only 2 months when it failed. So I was going to be on the hook for all $800 despite having asked for some relief. (By they way, I heard they were only charging for one battery in the two...
I'll add a data point that I complained about this back in December of 2023 where I noted a, what I thought was a large, front end drop over about a week. Was told that it was within spec. I wasn't too happy about it but I can't make them do warranty repairs I guess.
It did get progressively...
That is a lower rating than I would have expected, but that same equipment is going to be in the R1S too. Of course if itās really only driving 50 miles per shift, it is a moot point.
Are these vehicles shared over multiple shifts? I honestly donāt know.
This is cool, and I love Rivian. But I have to ask the logic behind the police investing in a Rivian vehicle.
The only thing I can come up with is long term cost advantage. Functionally the reality is high up front cost, slow charging and lower range.
Again,I think itās neat and looking...
Iām not sure how it happened but we wound up with all cars being EVs started with an Hundai ionic (not the 5, the early one) wound up being the car we drove everywhere. Then we traded our Audi Q5 for the model 3, traded the ionic for the Rivian R1T, traded the 3 for a Y later, then we inherited...
The 12 volt battery runs things like the ECU, it closes high voltage battery relays and such. If you have a dead 12 volt battery, you can't access the high voltage (traction) battery anymore.
Regarding the locking pins, I had difficulty finding enough room for the chain hookups. And had to resort to the supplied hitch pin. I do remove my hitch when not in use however.
I got the message but I can't press the submit button, did the usual checks of making sure the starred fields are filled in. Anyone else noticing this?
I could have sworn that it was $299, but even ~$350 is too rich to get a connivence button.
Yea totally a first world problem here. I don't think I'll be considering this unless prices come down a bit. Or I get an actual problem with my cable.
I would rather go with a name brand since there...
$299 for the cable $134 for the NACS to J1772 adapter plust 10% tax (California of course) would make it around $476
Sorry wasn't clear I'm fumbling with the app to charge the Tesla since I have to open it, let it wake up, push the button to open the charge port and then insert it with the...
I was playing around with the idea of replacing our Chargepoint cable with the NACS retrofit: https://store.chargepoint.com/product/nacs-cable-kit. But I noticed something odd. We'll still have our J1772 with the truck, so I went looking at adapters. And I'm trying to figure out why there is...
Iām kinda indifferent to the design but what does annoy me is when a change is applied that changes what you have to do, when youāve been trained to know where things are and where to find your information.
i still havenāt gotten the update for the Rivian so Iām not sure if thatās the case here...
