⚡️ Rivian announces: March Tesla Supercharger access & free NACS adapters!

[Jared2]

Some of that applies to me. And I may need therapy for that.

Take the tax loss and repurchase in 31 days.

As of this morning, the Ford app and nav have the NACS compatible chargers natively, including live charger status. Plug and Charge OTA for Tesla network also started rolling out today. Ford also has this feature with EA.

Everything with a blue oval is updated, just need an adapter which hopefully can pull double duty with the R1S until Rivian sends me one.

Sounds like the early Ford adapter users all have preproduction units so I shouldn’t get my hopes up for Rivian to leapfrog Ford.

Good news of the day.

<satire>I’m looking forward to the angry looks from Tesla owners</satire>

I've prepared for this

Just have to sell your soul to the devil when you plug in

Sell your soul to the Charlatan, you must mean!

Tesla started the EV move and innovation. A Thank You would be appropriate.

Scenario:

1. You roll up to a full Supercharger station with a line
2. You wait in line and take the next spot that opens
3. You block the charger without charging since the stall is offset to the right
4. Wait for the adjacent stall to open up while people in line start wondering wtf
5. Plug in as soon as the car next to you leaves
6. A Tesla owner backs into that spot and realizes you are using their charger
7. Party time?

Yeah I don’t get why this hasn’t been discussed more. At least we have our ports at the end of the car, but still the “wrong” side, so reach won’t be an issue.

Funny I’m not sure there are any EVs with the charging ports in the same spot as Teslas? Our Kia EV6 is the far rear passenger side, so will be the same issue once those are allowed at superchargers.

Fords will be even harder since they’re more in the middle of the drivers fender. I kind of expected their adapters to be more of a dongle to give them extra reach.

Yeah I didn’t know this was a thing either. I’m also a second hand owner, though.

No Tesla chargers opening on the 800 mile stretch of I90 between Billings Mt. and Worthington Mn. -- Grump Grump

Take 94. 90 will most likely get upgraded in the future

“Owner Newsletter”??

I had to go back and look at the verrrrry bottom of the email

 

[atebit]

LOL, I didn’t even get the email!

That’s the question. I think we need not just an adapter but an extension cord as well.

It’s been discussed in pretty much every single thread about supercharger access.

It’s Tesla’s problem to solve, not the drivers’.

 

[stucker43]

Why can’t they sell or give away a longer adapter cord so other manufacturers can use the chargers the correct way it is not a Tesla Problem

 

[kvenom]

Hope they ship adapters out relatively quickly so we don't have to go through a repeat of the Manual Tonneau Cover fiasco
