I finally got to fulfill a dream that started the day I placed my pre-order and got to drive my R1T through the beauty that is Yosemite.

Spent the week at the park and visiting Bass Lake. Had a bit of a charging struggle as noted in my other post, but in the end, turned out to be a fantastic trip.

Did you have struggles with the actual rivian network charging station or was it others? Hopefully their charger is seamless.

The struggle was with the Electrify America and Chargepoint chargers, but it wasn't the fault of either company, a bunch of meth heads chopped the cables off of all the chargers in the town nearest Yosemite that had chargers.

The RIvian chargers in the park were seamless (as has been my experience with EA and Chargepoint as well).

Stunning photos - thank you for sharing with the community.

How did your experience using the Rivan charger work? Was it open to non-Rivian vehicles?

Congrats mate, on fulfilling one of your bucket list items with the R1T

Funnily enough, there were two Rivian chargers at two different parts of the parking lot, each capable of charging 4 vehicles. The first one was full—with Teslas. The other one, further from the lodge, was empty. Worked wonderfully, pulled in, plugged in, went hiking. Came back a few tiring hours later to an additional 60 miles or so on the battery.

They're destination chargers, so yes, open to all and free to use.

Uggh. Teslas! I was afraid of that. :)

Totally. If you haven't spent part of your time up there exploring Bass Lake, definitely check it out next time!
