My inReach mini allows me to send messages to space!

With no actual factual context... there are many times I want to leave my wallet, cell, and keys in the truck, but also want to lock it. With a carbingrr it’s another option assuming cell plus others for each situation for everyone..

Maybe girl hands?

Ever land on a set of keys skateboarding or know a friend to lose a phone ziplining? Neither is fun.
With this option I could lock all my stuff in the truck and attach the key to my surf board strap then leave nothing but a towel on the beach.

Anyone else view the updated charging to further reinforce that 200kw+ is max for the r1 series, and the 350+ is for the next gen of vehicle? I know some people were thinking the last info meant the R1 series would eventually be capable of the higher charging rate. I just don't think that's what they're saying.

Is 350kW rate for 800v battery packs and solid state battery when they arrive?

800v. Not necessarily associated with a solid state battery.

Where?

Where?

https://rivian.com/experience/charging

The say 140 mi/20 minutes for the r1 vehicles. That the RAN starts off with 200kw+, and then they say the RAN will be 350kW+. They don't mention a faster charge rate for the R1 vehicles.

 

[Caymanwent]

Oof, my expectations were way to high for what we’d get today

Launch green confirmation?

Ah that language has been there since the initial start/launch of charging From here:


The Rivian Adventure Network
Exclusively for Rivian owners
3,500+ DC fast chargers at 600+ sites by end of 2023
Up to 140 miles of range in 20 minutes for R1T and R1S
Automatic charging, just pull up and plug in
In-vehicle nav automatically plans charging
Charging rates of over 200kW initially and 300kW+ in the future
Powered by 100% renewable energy


https://stories.rivian.com/charging-your-rivian


I think they simply mean out the door the R1S/T vehicles will have 200kw+ and will be upgraded via software to faster. When they launched the whole charging page a bunch of us asked if LE vehicles will be included in the charging 300kw+ in the future and we almost got a unanimous yes more or less.

In either case it will be a key factor in me deciding to buy with out seeing/driving the vehicle. I need to know the underpinnings/architecture will be there at least if the software is not (which I don't mind if it comes later, same with plug and charge etc).

Hmm, I didn't remember it separating them quite that much. The way I read that is that the network will be capable of 350kw, but that isn't necessarily applicable to the R1 vehicles.

I do remember people asking CS, and I didn't take any of the responses as clear. I'm probably just paranoid. More waiting I suppose. As long as the curve is relatively flat, 200 kw should be fine for me.

As long as they hold their 140 miles in 20 minutes I am alright with it as well how ever the architecture will tell us the real answer. 800v/920v sign me up, anything else unless they are dual charging we will have to see.

I'm going to go with Whopper Jr. hands. Final answer.

 

[Sneaky2Toes]

Clipable key fob, nice idea.......but that size is just unnecessary. They better not charge money for that.....

Bummer about March 1, 2022.
