Agree. This is what I’ve found to be a benefit with the Max pack. The different cells and larger capacity of each allows for faster charging rates. When side by side with other Rivians at RAN my Max pack charged at a higher charge rate by 5-10 kW. I didn’t measure actual numbers but was...

A question I ask is if the manufacturer of the adapter wants liability for a car or building fire? A reputable manufacturer most certainly will not take on that liability as it would surely fail the company. A fly by night off brand can take that risk but not an established brand that wants to...

My max pack R1S has traveled less than 1000 miles and not enough data yet, but system estimates are about spot on with stated distance. Nearly all of my miles so far are traveling up and down steep mountain pass in the winter with 20" tires. I'll report more once I get some distance and long...

My last new vehicle purchase was a built to order BMW, and I could watch by the minute the manufacturing process and transportation via rail and truck to the dealer. I literally knew by the minute what was happening and where it was, with estimated time to dealer. It was so much fun to track its...

I received a call from local service center and took delivery about two days later, although I could had taken delivery the next day except for the day to resolve the lease start date to match the delivery date (per my other comment on this thread).

I had a deposit for a new build that I cancelled when a ready to lease/buy option came up with all of the options I wanted, so I put down a deposit on that and cancelled my build to order deposit. There were no updates at all on expected delivery time of my deposit for a build to order, even...

Yes indeed. It seems that volume production and shipping is just becoming available so I would think the deliveries will be in the 10,000+/month from each of several suppliers (Lectron, A2Z, Tesla, Ford, Rivian...) so we should all start getting these adapters within a few months. History of...

Interesting that you brought this up, as on Sunday after the software update I had all doors unlock except the driver's side, in which the handle did not come out.

It's effectively the same as a plug adapter when traveling to other countries with different AC receptacles. While the voltage and frequency may be different, it just passes thru the power and your device that's plugged in, such as a laptop, converts the voltage and frequency. In this case, the...

I used to be a leader of Tesla's factory engineering team and this is a product they would outsource to one of the many capable manufacturers of this component. I'm sure that production is well underway with one or more manufacturers and they just send to a fulfillment center. What ever the...

Pardon OB1, but I am new to the Rivian Universe, and still learning its ways and element of time. However, this one should be easy to speed up the typical Rivian time continuium since the adapter is likely made by a third party, already under production and even warehoused, and shipped by a...

I agree, and that they should include adapters with all new deliveries to avoid shipping costs to send to folks that just took delivery. Whether we get one in three weeks or five weeks likely won't change much, although I know we'd all love to have an adapter now.

It does also look like chargers on the 80 near Winnemuca, Battle Mountain and Elko NV, which is great for traveling to from Reno and SLC and exploring all of the amazing back country mountains and spaces in Nevada off I-80, but don't see one in the Reno area, which certainly is much needed in...

I took delivery of a new R1S at the beginning of March, and the delivery person confirmed that the adapters would "begin to be mailed out by April." So, some should start receiving these by April, and of course possibly this month, but I assume with over 70,000 Rivian's in service, it may take a...
