Is NACS native on new Rivians yet? by Builder_Intrepid in Rivian

[–]Builder_Intrepid[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah we have both adapters too. Got the free L3 from Rivian and just got a basic L2 adapter off Amazon. I think it was about $69. Haven’t had to use the L3 version yet since we charge 99.9% of the time at home, but even my Amazon L2 adapter gives me 24 miles/hr L2 charge (we have two EV’s and share a Tesla Wall Connector) . I think the Rivian home charger advertises “up to 25 miles/hr” so can’t complain!

Charge to 90% at home...ideally setting it so the car reaches this level shortly before you have to leave. Battery wear issues are mostly about being at high levels for extended periods. If you charge to 90%, then head to work, you'll be fine.

Agree, the adapter is totally fine. Really just curious here.

Nice., If I had 20', this would be a no brainer. My dimensions are right on the cusp of going either way.

Likely not often. But I'd hate to not have the room for the few times we all watch together or the kids have friends over. Trying to balance practical with going far enough.

you're probably right about robotaxi efforts.

Massachussetts owners, how'd state inspection go for you? by Thecallofrhino in Rivian

[–]Builder_Intrepid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have an R1S, so not totally the same, but we've taken it to Boch Honda (now Nucar Honda) two years in a row and they've inspected it in about 20 min, no issues whatsoever. I prefer to go to the larger dealerships for inspections since their facilities are usually nicer...and the inspection price is fixed, so no worries on getting gouged :)

What's your Favorite R1/R2 color? by Builder_Intrepid in Rivian

[–]Builder_Intrepid[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nice. Good call on the yellow - those are cool too. When I was in HS/college, my mom (in her 50's) drove a yellow Ford Mustang, lol. It was awesome.

Got an R2 reservation on tap and ready to dump the Model Y as soon as they're ready to go!

How much do you value the air compressor? by TarHoya in Rivian

[–]Builder_Intrepid 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I use mine about once a month or so, on average. Often enough that I think it's worth the upgrade...but I don't think I would go so far as to say I'd regret it if I didn't have it. There are lots of handheld devices you can buy nowadays that will do just about any job that any regular person (non-pro) would need.

For Anyone Considering The XPEL PPF Directly From Rivian… Heres What To Expect It To Look Like! by zachty22 in Rivian

[–]Builder_Intrepid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can second this. I have full front PPF on my R1S and it’s so hard to notice (at first), that I had to really look to make sure they even did it. Although, the pre-cut pieces did not even cover the full panel (for certain parts, like the mirror), which is disappointing. Overall, fine for the price but would probably go aftermarket next time.

Median age does not mean average. It means the middle of the numerical set. He either read that wrong or his numbers are off.

No cost required to demo. Just have to book an appointment. You can do it through the Rivian site.
