CENTRE CONSOLE WIRELESS CHARGING PAD

Ever since I got my R1S, I've noticed that the battery range estimation hasn't been the best. Driving a Tesla for the last 3 years, it never had this kind of issue. During my last trip, the driver display shows 255mi remaining. My total trip (including 2 destinations) is 160mi so I believed I should be able to make it easily with a nice cushion. But the center display showed that I would arrive at first destination with 4mi remaining, and run out before the second destination! I knew this was false so I made the drive anyway, and arrived at second destination with 50mi remaining. If I understand correctly, the driver display range is simply the total rated range multiplied by SOC. That makes sense here, since my vehicle is rated for 370mi, 255mi is 68.9%. Coming from Tesla, I expect the number shown in the center display should account for factors like elevation, wind, traffic speed, etc. It's sad that my own mental estimation is better than Rivian's.

Has anyone else been having issues with their center console wireless charging pad? It hasn't really worked that well for me ever since I got my R1S but I've been able to improvise by sourcing some USB-C and lightening cables and also created an adapter that works amazingly well to charge my phone in the same position as the wireless charging pad.

Either cable can be positioned on either side of the center console to mix and match as needed. I tested some phones and cases, and accessory combinations and made sure the adapter could move and pivot to accommodate but the combinations are endless. Let me know if you're having any issues with yours and we would likely be able to adjust to accommodate.
