I came home from work today, just the same as I have every weekday since taking ownership of "Lenore" in September. Little bit of snow today but nothing compared to some of the other winter days around here.
The land in Chicago's suburbs is by no means "hilly" but, apparently, we LOVE building our suburban communities with inclined driveways. Nothing terrible, mind you, but it was enough today.
My R1T decided to roll itself down the driveway while it was plugged into my external Rivian wall charger. It yanked the charging handle out hard enough to break it pretty good.
Parking brakes did nothing here, as you can see in the video that the truck rolls down the driveway as opposed to sliding on the snow.
Fortunately, it looks like a new charging cable will get me back up and running, and I have the portable charger until then.
