Does anyone know if the amperage limit for home charging is 48 amps? The amperage setting on my R1S seems to max out at 48, but I may be missing how to increase the amperage above that level. I was thinking about installing a home charger that maxes out at 80 amps, but if the R1S won't take anything above 48, then there's no reason to install the higher amperage charger (it's also not clear to me if regular charging at 80 amps will accelerate battery degradation).
On a related note, if I stick with a 48 amp charger, is there any reason to go with the Rivian Wall Charger? I have one already, and it's fine. I also have a Tesla J1772 charger installed at my in-laws. The Rivian charger doesn't seem to be any better than the Tesla charger, and the Tesla is $350 cheaper.
