A leap of faith that ends up with regret (Critical Battery).... by shipping R1T to Kuwait

Do you have any dc fast chargers in Kuwait? I bet that'd charge your battery. You'd need an adapter to us ccs spec tho

unfortunately we dont have dc chargers

The Middle east is a "potential great market" for these trucks, so I would do my best to work with Rivian and let them know that you'll make sure their trucks sell like "hot cakes" in your area.

Tough situation, but like anything in life, money talks.

I got it from Millenia Motors Auction

Have you contacted them? I’d think they should be partly liable for not putting the truck into shipping mode. But I could be wrong.

Throw it on a flatbed and go find a dc fast charger.

Wonder if you could have one installed this may fix your issue and may be cheaper than flying a tech out.... it's an interesting thought

thats true never thought of it

Yes, he'd have to get an adapter. There are plenty of ccs2 to 1 adapters out there.

This is by far the easiest and cheapest option you have Infront of you. No guarantee of success, but it's likely to work.
