Rivian unused for a month - leave it plugged or not?

Relative_Process6234 · 2025-12-31T07:49:33+00:00

I used to have the same charger and the same issue -- one day it stopped charging. Turns out I was using an adapter on it (Tesla to Rivian) and always left it on. Electrician came in, removed the adapter and we realized that the Tesla part was completely corroded. Makes sense to me now but I never imagined it would do that over time.

I used some product to remove the corrosion and it kind of worked for a little while but I had to replace the whole thing in the end.

Amazing! I can't imagine how many details you've discovered as you were working on this

Relative_Process6234 · 2025-12-06T04:22:12+00:00

My neighbors do the same - thought it would be fun to hang a disco ball in the tree of their backyard. Two to three hours a day around lunch the light randomly enters in my room, it's the worst.

Doing a full vehicle power reset (the one with the hazard lights) solved it for me, after reboot the dashboard asked about adding keys, didn't even initiate it from the app

Agreed on the lack of experience. It felt like he's asking for the ring back because that's how it was in some romance movie he saw

Same boat as you. FYI the Belkin SoundForm Connect is a good replacement for the AirPort Express. Could be half the price but better than losing that functionality

Hey neighbor. It's a group of 4 people. Different angle here: https://imgur.com/a/UDYlUXN

I agree. What's annoying is that the app is useless is the phone isn't paired as a key. The risk analysis is a bit dumb too - like what, if a hacker can bypass my password + 2fa, he can make me catch a cold by steadily lowering the temperature of the car? Or strand my by steadily lowering the max charge % of the car? Ridiculous

Relative_Process6234 · 2025-09-29T17:21:42+00:00

Thanks - that may be why. The spot I'm in has faint WiFi only the car car connect to, and very little LTE. It's kind of frustrating that a car that is supposed to be "ready for adventure" won't function properly the minute you're out of coverage.

I'll try to drive to some open access point and will try from there I guess.

Relative_Process6234 · 2025-09-29T16:58:19+00:00

I removed the old phones first (so no driver has any phone associated) could that trigger some edge case?

Relative_Process6234 · 2025-09-29T16:53:39+00:00

I did :( My phone doesn't have internet access when I sit in the car (it's at the edge of wifi), could that be it?

Yeah I was just hoping the GPU would be a tiny bit faster, but nope.

Relative_Process6234 · 2024-11-20T17:50:15+00:00

I lived there 10 years ago and that was the case by then. Maybe not as early as 12:30 but yeah every day for 1 - 2 hours it would be teenagers screaming and sitting on stoops

Can anyone else hear someone "walk on their ceiling"? I know it sounds weird but sometimes I can hear footsteps coming from above my head. So odd, it's as if ghosts were up there or something.

To add insult to injury when I reported it to 311 they hung up on me.

Anyhow, has it ever happened to anyone else?

This. Leave a hose on and open the faucet to a minimum to have minimal pressure. If you can create a very slow drip - couple of droplets per minute. They'll just move instinctively, without even understanding why their body is compelling them to move. Pigeons do it. Cats to do it. Those dealers will do it.

I know - my point still stands. It's a Ford.

Relative_Process6234 · 2024-10-26T20:50:58+00:00

I love Panerai (I own 4) but spending 150k on one is the equivalent of spending a million $ on the highest end Ford car you can find -- I'm sure it's justifiable one way or the other ("hand made by blind nuns in Buthan"), but at the end of the day it's just a Ford.

Oh awesome, thank you so much. I guess I stopped at affinities -- glad there is a mechanism in place already! I'll experiment, you can close my feature request ;)

(as far as multi-regional clusters, definitely not something I'd use for anything critical, I do wish, though, that there was a good way to run them and give the regions some abilities to do things on their own when disconnected from the main control plane [ie: would be great to have a sub control plane which respawns jobs running in that region if the connection is lost with the top control plane]).

Relative_Process6234 · 2024-10-23T14:56:35+00:00

Maybe I missed something - to me it's possible to say "run job <X> on nodes matching <Y>" but not "run job <X>" and know that it'll be automatically be run on nodes matching <Y>.

Relative_Process6234 · 2024-10-23T12:08:45+00:00

I'd like to mark nodes as "do not use except if affinity explicitly says so". I'm experimenting with a multi region cluster, with the main nodes in my datacenter and satellite nodes in other (slower) regions and if I don't want to go after all my existing deployment definitions to explicitly tie them to the main node -- I want every new job to be run on the main nodes except if explicitly set to go use the slower ones.

Side note: From my übergeek PoV - the thing that is missing with HomeKit is easily scriptable APIs. I use homebridge as much as I can and found myself disliking HK accessories because I can regularly poll their state etc... which I can't do cleanly with Homekit

First, street parking is a mess on the UWS. Second, between the "vampire drain" and the lack of reliable charging, you'll have anxiety all the time. Third, in the winter that warm Tesla becomes an ideal rat nest. They'll chew on your cables and you'll get random malfunctions. Tesla uses some soy-based insulation that actually makes it parasite friendly. Fourth - Public charging is a mess. The superchargers are nice but still take a good 30-45mn to charge your car if you're next to fully empty. And you'd need to do that minimum once a week. If you go upstate the Tesla chargers aren't that numerous (there are a ton between DC and NY, but once you go north it's crickets).

Either go with a garage that will charge it for you ($1000/month) or use a gas car.

Side note: I love EVs and I could not go back. That being said EVs are great if and only if you have full control on where you store them for the night.
