The killing off of apps and (chronological, multi-account) Tweetdeck might be the final nail in the coffin. Not sure what I'll use but you can find all my public accounts at linktr.ee/jwardell

@RateYourCharge @itskyleconner I had 5 failed attempts in 8 charging stops on I91 Thurs, but could only report on PlugShare (a few taps). There's no time to fill out a complex questionnaire and upload a photo when you are stressing and scrambling to find an alternative charger. Need RateYourCharge app ASAP

⚡️ Welcom to our weekly US fast charging report! ⚡️
6/3 - 6/9
Full weekly report: bit.ly/3P8DrcD
Thank you all for tagging
@RateYourCharge
with your photo and video charger check-ins

@brandenflasch @itskyleconner It's just going to sew confusion and further delay a badly needed rollout of public infrastructure usable by all.
English
@jwardell @itskyleconner There’s a lot more happening behind the scenes that indicates this is actually happening

@brandenflasch @enhauto @ItsBillN @teslogic You can use a splitter, but you can also have SB installed in rear console and canserver in the A pillar.

What other things should I have setup from day 1 on my new Tesla aside from TeslaFi? Seems Tessie is popular these days?

@itskyleconner I think range test should be 75mph till it can no longer hold 75mph. Turtle mode miles are not counted.

Should we do a twitter spaces to discuss our electric car testing procedures and get your thoughts on other / different tests you want us to do?

@DBurkland @jwardell @RateYourCharge I’m at a 24 stall Revel charger in Brooklyn, where they are all working. I sure do wish I had a Tesla charge port so I could charge slower here, though.
English
@brian_henderson @RateYourCharge It was plugged in over two hours, charging at Chevy Bolt rates with a Hummer EV-size pack...definitely not engineered for public charger use!
English
While this school bus is not blocking access to EV chargers (beyond one in use); this really highlights how poorly existing #EVcharging infrastructure is architected.
Same problem if the EV pickup would encounter if towing a boat or other trailer. cc @RateYourCharge
Josh Wardell@jwardell
Hey that big bus is blocking the chargers—oh nope, it’s charging too! @RateYourCharge and an even rarer fully working and available EA location (Nashua, NH)
English
@BlessedJedi @RateYourCharge 70kW at 65%, 150kWh from 1 to 65 so ~220kWH pack. Plugged in at 1% @Out_of_Spec style. Note it had to pass another EA location to get here...

@brandenflasch Switch it to snow mode. That's what I use for valets.

I wish Rivian had a “Chill” mode that makes it slower but wasn’t Conserve mode that gives it weird FWD driving dynamics - would be good for letting others drive it that may not be adequately prepared for an 800HP truck
Charlotte, NC 🇺🇸 English
@brandenflasch @ryanhuber I have noticed a definite improvement in the last two weeks or so, compressor is ramping up much earlier and pack never reaches the 50C cliff. No mention in release notes but it's there.
English
Alright guess I gotta drain my truck and test / make a video about this to see it’s a hardware improvement on @ryanhuber’s new R1S or if it’s all software
ICE Murders Americans@ryanhuber
The crazy kids over at @Rivian have quietly made a HUGE improvement to the charge curve of the R1 platform in their latest software. It seems to anticipate peak temps in advance and form an actual curve now. Peak cell temp was 52.4C. This is by far my best charge session, ever.

@brandenflasch That's a standard witricity pad on the ground, but wallbox is not. But it will be able to do wireless V2H eventually. Still makes more sense for fleets and taxis.

A quick look at the Rivian 200+kW charging cliff data after a @RateYourCharge EA check in. Full video at youtu.be/kwvvSkeI364 @brandenflasch

@jpalay @brandenflasch This is what I've been quietly screaming for months

Tested: Did Rivian Fix Charging Thermal Issues in 2023.2.3? With CAN Data!

@teslavangelist @ChargePointnet More than half of Chargepoint's locations are broken at any given time, and that includes their pathetic 80kW DCFCs. Someone needs to take things seriously eventually
English
EA is not the answer.
@ChargePointnet, you up for building out the nation's non-NACS DCFC's?
Josh Wardell@jwardell
@itskyleconner It's not the rare hardware malfunction that's concerning, it's EA's complete lack of response or care for this and a growing number of major issues and security flaws, combined with lack of any other choice for travel in many places. @brandenflasch

Another case of this type of reported incident.
Having a hard time finding any links but again, something to keep an eye on. Still rare enough where I don’t have any concern of plugging in my own vehicles - but would like more info from all cases we’ve heard so far!
Punished Poster No. 9653@Burn_This_App
1/ It would be nice if @ElectrifyAm would take their charger malfunctioning and bricking my @ChevyElectric Bolt leaving me stranded seriously. After 5 full days the @chevrolet dealer hasn't even looked at it and EA won't do anything but say "Send us the paid
English
@itskyleconner @brandenflasch Well we now have all the diagnostic info on the EA screens, and data from Rivian CAN, so we can know exactly what's going on, if only their engineers would look at it too
English
@brandenflasch this is the worst I’ve seen it so far. Went to about 36kW and then said nope - *insert German screaming voice* stop the charging!
English
It was nice pulling 200+kW for a while - until it rapidgated
Now I’m feeling the side effect as the Rivian completely cuts off charging to just run cooling loads.
Let’s hope this software fixes the overheating because this road trip is going on way longer than it should
