Rivian NACS Adapter - wait or buy alternative option?

[YellowR1T]

Greetings Rivian Forms, I hope all is well. I was wondering if people are still receiving the NACS adapters from Rivian that they opted-in to receive for free. I know very little about the recall (I just know that their is one) and was wondering if I should hold off on buying one from Lectron or A2Z or if I should go ahead and make that purchase. I do not foresee myself needing anytime soon (2 -3 mo, maybe up to 5 mo). Any information would be very helpful thank you.

I did chat with Rivian service and they have no ETA and would not tell me if they are still shipping them.

God bless.

Search around Facebook marketplace, it's flooded with people selling barely-used or even never-used adapters.

They might have bought one and then received the official from Rivian/Ford and now they're selling one of the two they own.

Got mine Monday. Now I have 2 after purchasing a new A2Z. My delivery was June of 23.

If you truly don’t feel ANY need to have an A2Z in your back pocket, then waiting is an option.

in my case, I took delivery in May of this year, and full expect to reach my 1-year anniversary before I get the Official Tesla-made adaptor. In the meantime—Southern California resident here—I have used my A2Z many, many times to access the SC dispensers. I was living in temporary housing for a few months and without a 220v outlet to plug into.

But more relevant is that Electrify America locations are overrun with Hyundai, Cadillac and MB EVs, since the purchase/lease deal included a period of “free” L3 charging. These folks are draining every electron the can, often to 100%, and tying up the dispensers. On the other hand, there are SC locations near me which are routinely 30%-40% occupied, and I can pull in, fill up (to 70%—I’m not a monster) and be on my way. This removes all anxiety over weekend drive, and makes travel to places like Phoenix, Las Vegas, (and beyond) so much easier.

I feel like the A2Z has already paid for itself in the dozen times I’ve used it—EA locations are a blind date every time you pull in, with different dispensers offline on different days, and usually less that the posted max throughput for power being dispensed when they do work. It’s always easiest to charge at home, but if you need power while you’re out and around, using a Tesla Supercharger location is eye-opening.

Finally, keep in mind: Rivian is now going to skim a portion of its allocation of Tesla adapters to provide immediately to new owners/lessees, and Telsa is now also providing adapters to GM, Volvo and Polestar owners, so the supply will always be constrained.
