Oh and for the record - it is registered through the US. I have read that it cannot be legally registered in the German system... yetSieht schön aus. Hoffentlich taucht es keine Probleme auf

Ah yes... silly me. Unfortunately it kinda hits a wall at ~111 MPH, and I got the All-Terrains, so no Ring for me... but I will drive it over the Alps and post pics...

So are there adapters between CCS2 and CCS? I wasn't sure if the protocol is different.

There is *one* adapter that I am aware of. Protocol seems to be the same (I researched this beforehand). I have charged a few times now without any issue. The short adapter cable got warm but not hot. It is labeled as 2x 1AWG wires and a couple other smaller wires for comms/etc. The adapter feels pretty solid.

How did you come to own it? Can you tell us how you acquired it? Were you working in the US and then moved back to Germany? @rivian_germany

Bought it online, had it delivered to an agent in the US, who shipped it out for me. I live and work in Germany as a US contractor under SOFA status. Did the same thing with a Tesla, didn't see it in person until it arrived here.
Edit: I reserved in Nov. 2021, delivery was 12/22/22
