I checked with property management to get approval of meeting up this Saturday In the MKT Heights parking lot. I was told that we can meet up as long as we are customers, so I encourage everyone to please grab a coffee/tea at La La Land or whatever food/drink establishment you choose. See yā€™all tomorrow!

Nice hanging with y'all today! Great location too. Shout out to @Voronbrg for the short but sweet test ride.

Looking forward to the next meet up, hopefully I'll contribute with an R1S soonšŸ¤ž

We missed you! We will be planning another meet up next quarter. It will interesting to see if anyone gets/brings a R1S next time.

Have you received your updated R1S delivery estimate? I havenā€™t.

Having a hell of a time finding a quality electrician here in the houston area to install my wall chargerā€¦ feels like these guys wonā€™t give any quote until they can come scope out your house/neighborhood and see how much they think they can gouge you forā€¦ first guy told me he needed to rewire my entire breaker because house was outdated (itā€™s 2 years oldā€¦..) and second guy came out today and told me 1600$

I already have the bigger wiring ran from the breaker to 220 outlets I had used in a previous ev so I would think I just need the breaker upgraded to 50 amp (I think itā€™s only 30 right now) and then hardwiring the wall charger is pretty straight forwardā€¦

Any referrals from other rivian locals?

Your 30amp circuits most likely only support 30 amps, do not switch to a 50a breaker, the wire is not sized correctly. I did mine myself, so unfortunately I donā€™t have a recommendation for you. Good luck.

I did mine myself. Check what gauge wire was run first before you swap out breakers. Also, if you are limited to the gauge wire just setup the car and evse to run at a lower amps. It'll charge slower but this way won't cost anything.

Thanks yā€™all. Wall charger is all hooked up and rolling. Excited to see when the next meet up is and get a few more Rivians together. Still havenā€™t come across another while driving yet.

Any thoughts on having another meetup. I am supposed to get delivery tomorrow and would love to share and get some first hand experiences? I know it is still the peak of summer but I would be up for a drive. I am a Galveston county dweller but willing to head into town to be a part of the H-town R1 community.
