Yeah, looks like only the CARB states that fully adopted CARB standards.

Interesting. There's nothing in the CARB EV rules that require this. Plenty of other EV makers don't provide these to buyers in CARB states. I wonder what's going on? Maybe they have a "sell CARB credits" deal with a few legacy automakers so they assume they'll sell a lot more vehicles in CARB states to "new to EV" buyers that will need these?

Yeah, I've never heard of this either. Wonder if the LLM chatbot is making things up...

Even if it is, states like MA will hold them responsible and require they honor it.

Lucky me, I get a free portable charger and adapters I would rarely need. I have a Tesla NACS charger at home as of yesterday. But the moment I don't need a specific adapter I'll need one for some wonky reason.

Sign me up!

States who have moved to protect their NEVI funds or created similar funds since you know who/what?

The same text is also in the configurator so it seems to be a thing. In my case as a first time EV owner it will be a nice inclusion since I'd otherwise need to buy them.

If it's in the configurator, then that's a whole other thing.

Pretty cool to see that discount thing!

Nothing free for Illinois.

To clarify, is it (1) state of vehicle registration? Or is it (2) state of physical delivery? Or finally, (3) state of sale? For both R1s I purchased and self registered via MCO, all 3 were different...

In NY for some reason Rivian is one of the only EV’s that doesn’t receive the $500 rebate from NYCERDA. So this is a nice gift from Rivian.

That’s weird. Time to make some contacts and ask for it?

Flood them with the question of why no Rivian…

If the discount is the price of the item, then that’s not a discount. I’m not sure I really understand what they’re giving away.
