Tesla Home Charger Adaptor for R1S

[Newrivi]

Sorry complete newbie here. Go easy on me. Just got my R1S and was wondering if it is safe to say that the NACS DC adapter they will be sending out to everyone will also work with my tesla home charger? Or do I need to buy another adaptor for that? Saw other threads where people found a tesla to J1772 adaptor on amazon to help them use their home tesla charger.

Nope. Your Wall Connecter is for AC charging. The one Rivian is sending out will be for DC charging.

You will want to pick up an AC adapter: Lectron, A2Z and Tesla Tap make really good and reliable AC adapters. Search the forums and there are plenty of posts and links.

No. Your home charger is Level 2 (AC). The Superchargers are Level 3 (DC). The free adapter that you will be getting eventually will let your Rivian charge at Superchargers, not at your home stations.

For Level 2 charging, you need a Tesla->J1772 adapter. Popular ones are from Lectron (~$140) or TeslaTap (~$300). Lots of posts about this, so I will not start a discussion of which one is "better" here ...

You can try this home (AC) Tesla to CCS adapter: https://a.co/d/3WsfKOG, as well as this one: https://a.co/d/4I8HQzK

I have used both, but either should suffice for your use case.

I was debating between the 48 amp Lectron or 80 amp A2Z for similar price after "Riv" coupon code.

TeslaTap 80 was overkill for my use and that's why I decided to save the money and still get 80 amp A2Z for futureproofing.

Anything is better than using the trickle charge 110v.

Evbase charger
I use the one from Evbase to charge my R1T with a Tesla home charger. It’s 99.

I was I same situation last week. I went with tesla tap mini. It is more expensive than other options, but has really good reviews and want to be more cautious.

I have used the Tesla Tap adapters for this many times, works great.

I decided to future-proof my AC adapter needs, and support a company that not only designs but MAKES its products in the USA, by buying the full TeslaTap 80 amp adapter: http://www.umc-j1772.com/index.php?route=product/product&path=17&product_id=100 .

I also bought a Master 647D shackle lock, at my local hardware store, to secure the adapter to the Rivian. Unfortunately, stealing other people's adapters is a thing now. The shackle diameter is important -- too wide a shackle won't fit in the hole, and too narrow a shackle won't prevent unlatching. The Master 647D fits perfectly in my TeslaTap 80 amp adapter.

So far I've only used the TeslaTap AC adapter in 40-48 amp situations, but you never know. In this situation, I judged that it is better to have higher capacity and not need it, than to need higher capacity and not have it.

Congratulations on your R1S, @Newrivi! Welcome to the Rivian family!

I have been using Lectron since the last 3 months with zero issues

Or for home charging, that provides a bit of future proofing, get the Tesla Uni Charger...

Does both.

Will you highly recommend a tesla uni charger at home instead of a rivian charger? Im getting my R1S quad this May.

Yeah that's what I have as well

No issues so far.

With the Rivian charger, it seems like some have had to do occasional reset (via Rivian) of the charger, not sure of the background.

 

[R1Sezejay]

And i think the tesla uni wall charger is cheaper than the rivian wall charger. Will it still work with the rivian charging app even if you use the tesla unli charger?

Congratulations!

I have a section on my website for adapters & hardware. I also have discounts available from various vendors under the Rivian Accessories links.

I have two adapters. One is the TeslaTap 60 amp and the other is the ShockFlo. I use the TeslaTap daily and the shockflo travels with us for any destination chargers we encounter on road trips.
