R1S and Tesla Charger Combo: Anyone Else Struggling?

I can't really tell if it was the latest update that caused this issue with my Rivian R1S. A few days after I updated my Rivian software to the latest version, my R1S locked and unlocked every time I passed by the garage, which was kind of strange at first. I looked for the proximity lock setting for my home address, but it was missing from the menu. It was like the truck doesn’t recognize my house anymore. The constant noise from the locks was disruptive when my husband was working in the garage, and I was concerned I’d need to contact service before we eventually found a solution that worked. So, we removed our home address from the navigation system, re-entered it, and performed a soft reset. Then, I toggled the proximity lock setting off and back on. Within seconds, the full menu reappeared, including the home lock option. It’s been functioning normally since then, with no random locking. If anyone’s R1S is having this issue, try these steps. I hope this helps others avoid the trouble I experienced.

I usually charge my R1S with the Rivian charger, but yesterday I decided to try out my Tesla Wall Charger (after a long time) to see how it performs. After about 15-20 minutes, the charging speed dropped to 5.3 kW. I cleaned the port and cable, swapped adapters, and even reset the charger, but the issue persisted. The charger’s on a 60-amp breaker, professionally installed two years ago, and it’s been fine until recently. My Teslas charge at 48 amps (11 kW) without any problems.

I’ve got an electrician coming to check it out, but has anyone else run into this? I’m trying to figure out why the Tesla Wall Charger is acting up with my R1S. It worked great at first, but now it’s slowing down mid-charge. The setup hasn’t changed, and my Teslas are still charging perfectly. I’m wondering if it’s an adapter issue, a compatibility glitch, or something with the charger itself.

Anyone dealt with this kind of slowdown when using a Tesla charger with their Rivian? Any tips or ideas before the electrician digs in would be awesome.
