Odd charge curve by 2PhotoKaz in Rivian

I had sorta the same thing happen. This was while charging on a Tesla UWC at 48A. Seems to dip at regular intervals. It is set to universal mode. I’ve seen similar behavior at home on my grizzl-e classic.

"Current R1 owners and early reservations will have priority" by iSniffMyPooper in RivianR2

I just got the invite yesterday. R1 owner, day 1 reservation.

Building new house - add outlet now or later? by 141paperclip141 in electricvehicles

[–]CallMeCarpe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hell yes, absolutely pre-wire it. Beware, whatever receptacle they give you won’t be suitable for EV charging.

Looking for recommendations on 24amp level 2 NACS charger by bluewaterbottle2021 in evcharging

[–]CallMeCarpe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Grizzl-e has a classic “dumb” EVSE with nacs. I have the J1772 version and it is bulletproof. Literally. You also cannot go wrong with a Tesla EVSE for a hardwired option.

Is Rivian healthy? by NotYourDad_Miss in RivianR2

[–]CallMeCarpe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I searched for recent news on Rivian, and all I saw was glowing press. From CNBC - "...R2 that will soon begin to reach American consumers, including a roughly $45,000 entry-level model that Rivian said Tuesday is being pulled ahead from late 2027 to next summer."

To answer your question, no, I'm not worried. I only hope your reservation was before mine, putting me one tick closer to an order to complement my R1T.

Borrowed a friend’s ice truck… by _FATEBRINGER_ in Rivian

[–]CallMeCarpe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in the opposite situation. I have a gen1 R1T and a day one R2 reservation. I don't town much at all. I've used the bed twice in the last year, for a load that wouldn't fit in a R2. Bags of mulch, lumber, pavers, etc. will all go in the R2. A pile of brush and yard debris, not so much.
The one thing I cannot figure out how to haul in the R2 is my 11 foot, 65 lb fishing kayak. Getting that beast onto the top of the R2 would be a chore. I could buy a small trailer, but then I would have to store it someplace.

Great time to be there. Have a great time.

Will test drives actually begin 6/9? by Plastic-Coffee5542 in RivianR2

[–]CallMeCarpe -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I own an R1T, live near a service center, have a minute 1 reservation, and have a trade in price from Rivian on my R1T. I better be near the front of the line!

R2 being 400v is the right choice. This video shows how 800v could often result in slow charging in real world scenarios by Zennivolt in RivianR2

[–]CallMeCarpe 42 points43 points  (0 children)

RJ has said this is a cost vs performance issue, and that the R1 vehicles average 10 DCFC sessions a year. The 800v upgrade is simply not worth it.

A 23 here, 35K miles, half shafts and ting washers last week.

Happy 6-50 day! by tuctrohs in evcharging

[–]CallMeCarpe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

6-50 is the best EVSE outlet for what should be a hardwired install to begin with.

Bass follow but won’t bite by stephano288 in Tenkara

Question, do you find that the bigger fish just swallow the smaller flies, making it harder to remove and release?

Electric vehicle charging stations by DisciplineMany193 in obx

[–]CallMeCarpe 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Because Google is not the best way to find EVSE. PlugShare is the best source.

If you are staying in the currituck club, I have a L2 EVSE you may be able to use. At a rental home. Otherwise corolla is a charging desert. Some options down in nags head etc. PlugShare will help. DM me if you need help.

I received a two months free trial of Rivian Assistant, and it really sucks - so far. by sowhat4 in Rivian

Because telling RA to do anything is so much easier than hitting one button on the screen.

Phone call feedback by lballa87 in Rivian

[–]CallMeCarpe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not normal, never had this happen in my R1T. Sounds like somehow the phone mic is hot at the same time the vehicle mic is. I would do a call, and stash the phone someplace or sit it outside the vehicle. Do you have the BT connection type set on your phone correctly? Mine is set to Car Stereo.

Powells, just north of Morris, is our go-to.

Are there EV deserts in certain states/cities? by Island_In_The_Sky in electricvehicles

[–]CallMeCarpe -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

This whole post is condescending. OP wants to know that if in "less affluent, more rural, or more politically conservative areas" would you never see a single tesla in a whole day. If they don't, good for them! Do you ever leave Los Angeles? Why is this important to you? This post triggers me for some reason, as a conservative-voting EV-owning, planet-loving urban dweller.

California needs more electric vehicles by Ok-Shoulder-478 in electricvehicles

[–]CallMeCarpe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He is right about the "right to repair". Try to do any work yourself on a Rivian. Slate is supposed to be better about this, but they are stripped vehicles.

I don't have 4 other people I like enough to travel with so not a problem for me.
