    My 2019 Tesla MX chargers faster

    I have a 24 Quad R1S with the 300 mile range and a Bosch home charger 30A or 32A L2. My MX adds 22 miles per hour and the Rivian adds 15 miles, give or take a mile for both. why is the newer Rivian slower?

    Why is there no RAN in or near Moab?

    Thereā€™s Tesla and Jeep branded charging stations yet no Rivian Adventure Network charging here at the most textbook outdoor area.
  3. Conserve mode not linked mileage to Maps

    I was in a situation yesterday where I had to flip to Conserve mode to get home but noticed that the maps does not calculate based on the extended range - it remained with the mileage as though I was in Standard. So the car kept on warning me about having limited charging locations and...

    Charging behavior - stops 1% before set point and doesn't maintain charge

    Has anyone noticed the charging behavior in that the vehicle stops charging 1% prior to the setpoint? You set it to 70% and in the morning you are at 69%. You set it to 75%, it's 74% when you go out to it. I am guessing that there are fractions behind the scene and it's stopping at 69.5%...
  5. Rivian Wall Charger Keeps Dropping to reduced level

    Sometime around the latest vehicle update to 2023.50.01 the charger started acting screwy. It will charge for the first hour at max speed (10.9 kw/h) and at the end of that hour drops to 6.9 kw/hr and stays there, regardless of state of charge. If you unplug and replug it starts the clock...
  6. Portable Charger?

    I'd gladly carry a portable battery charger (not a gas generator - I'm not into irony) but don't seem to see anything out there specifically designed for this purpose. Anyone know of a solution out there that that might be able to supply an emergency charge to get at least a few miles of range...
  7. New owner questions

    1 week into R1S ownership. Overall, It has been great. Car has some panel gaps but that stuff doesn't bother me or my wife as much. Just a couple of questions I haven't found definite answers to and a couple of non-dealbreakers I am hoping will get fixed over time. 1) Heating - I live in the...
  8. Tesla Tap Mini 80 not working on R1S

    I have a good connection between the Tesla tap mini 80 and the Tesla destination charger. I waited 40 seconds then plugged it into my charge port on my R1S. The charge screen just sits there and reads, "Starting", but nothing ever happens. I tried 3 times and nada. Suggestions?
  9. FYI Buttonwillow station is dead/offline

    Apparently went offline in chunks sometime during the 7-10pm hours Nov 26ā€¦ yeah the dreaded Thanksgiving trek through Cali. Instead I waited 2.5 hours at an EA. unfortunately the Rivian app had me routed to this charger only to arrive with it dead. Obvious feature request: differentiate between...

    Anyone know how to advocate for a RAN charger site in a location?

    Anyone know if Rivian has the same process as Tesla where you can apply to host a Supercharger station? Tesla has a whole website and application process to bring these in, but I haven't seen the same for Rivian. I'd like to get on the list to have a RAN station built in the Donnelly/McCall...

    Not charging

    Went on a business trip and left my R1T plugged in with charging scheduled from 9pm-3am, M-F, using a Tesla level 2 wall charger. Monitored it during the week but did not see the vehicle charging. Left it at 85% came home to 77% charge. Called support and did a re-boot, then started to...
  12. Time to charge 75-100%

    Iā€™m looking to take a trip off the grid and I want to start as full as possible. I should be able to arrive at a 50kwh charger with about 75% before heading into the wilderness. Does anyone have experience charging from 75-100% on a 50kwh charger? Iā€™d love to be able to plan the start of my trip...

    Car not preconditioning battery

    Recently my R1S has not been preconditioning the battery when I set a charger destination in the nav. Iā€™m curious if this is because of mild temperatures (60s and 70s recently). Or perhaps because Iā€™m not going past the charger, that is Iā€™m setting the destination as the charger so it might...

    4% Back on Charging with Costco Card

    Just an FYI for folks, the other day I was looking at my Costco rewards and noticed theyā€™ve updated the 4% category on their credit card to include charging now as well as gas purchases. Now they need to add chargers to all their locations!! šŸ˜Š
  17. Tesla charging port/adapter

    When the new Rivian start coming out with a Tesla compatible charging port, Rivian said they will provide adapters to previous version owners. Most J1772-Tesla adapters have a ā€œdoes not support superchargingā€ disclaimer. Will Rivian provide a supercharging adapter?
  18. How to keep charging cable locked into charge port even when not actively charging?

    New R1T driver. I noticed the charge port locks in a charge cord while charging, but allows someone to pull the cord if not charging. Not digging this as it gives anyone access to the internals of the port to vandalize and or rip off charge port door. I also tried to set up scheduled charging...
