Thanks for the confirmation. It really would behoove them to have this as an opt-out per charging network though as it creates friction and reluctance for me to use anything but Tesla SCs once my card info is no longer available to Rivian.

Yes, but having an opt-out checkbox that is off by default would create no inconvenience for P&C users, and would allow users like me to avoid being overcharged by using the wrong billing network. Even better, the opt-out should be per charging network, that way I can still use the RAN without...

As I wrote initially, I didn't insert the (already assembled) plug into the vehicle until the Tesla app said it was time to do so. From a UI perspective, this is a bug in the Tesla app if it says to plug in and there is such a thing as "plugging in too soon". It shouldn't indicate readiness...

Wow. If that is really happening, that is a serious bug. I always terminate the charging session at the SC by pressing the "eject" button at the R1S charging port, not by stopping charging in the Tesla app.

I'm sure this is exactly what happened to me. I'm used to the convenience of free charging with our Tesla, so I'm trying to get my charging setup time down to the minimum in terms of getting the CCS adapter out, getting it on the SC NACS plug, getting through the Tesla app quickly, setting the...

Yes I gave Rivian my credit card number assuming it would be needed to charge at RAN chargers, or for other services Rivian might provide, not for other companies that I already have discounted accounts with. I can see the intended convenience / functionality of Plug and Charge to make it more...

Thanks for the confirmation here. The Tesla app had told me to go head and plug in. According to another if you do this too quickly (< 10sec), the charging might not initialize properly. What I just wasn't aware of was that you could even charge a Rivian at all through their billing system a...

Yes, I selected the 1D charger and start charging via the Tesla app, at which point IIRC the Tesla app tells you to plug in the vehicle, which I did and then went into the vehicle for a moment to verify that charging had started.

Thanks. I focused on sanitizing the Rivian email but forgot to do the same to my own...

It's not the "wrong price". The Tesla membership price I *would* have paid is $0.34/kWh. The Rivian price I did pay is $0.72. Honestly I wasn't even aware that Rivian-billed charging was possible at SCs - I thought you always have to pay Tesla for this.

Is there a way to turn off this behavior? Other than not having a RAN account at all? There is no scenario where I want this to happen. There is also no indication that this is happening, other than double checking the Tesla app after (Rivian billed) charging has started and then canceling the...

So to be clear, I have a Tesla membership / account. When I arrived at the SC my Tesla app told me the charging would be $0.34/kWh, which is less than it is during the day at something like $0.4x/kWh, so I thought that was a nice bonus. I pretty much charge exclusively at SCs since they are...

I'm reposting an email I just sent to Rivian about a charging session I had yesterday at a Tesla SC where I was using the Tesla app. I have only had my used 2025 R1S for about a month so I am new to chargin the Rivian, or even paying for charging for that matter, but what happened here seems...
