Well, my dudes, I think I have done it. Below are pictures of what I believe to be the first dual Magsafe Wireless Charger for a Rivian that uses in the OEM connection for the POS wireless chaging pad.

There are a few changes from the last pictures I posted:

• There are now two DC to DC converters and wireless charging pads installed.
• Wiring now uses a little tool less junction box + a modified version of an OEM plug that I ordered (it's the wrong one, the correct one is inbound now)
• I've soldered a power and ground wire to the OEM connector. (this was very detailed work) I've also insulated shrink wrapped over it.
• I've double-sided taped the converters and the junction block to the bottom of the shelf and loosely routed all of the cabling so I should be able to drop it right in.

And that's pretty much it. Wife has the truck for the evening, so I can't test to verify. I do have to do a bit of driving tomorrow though, so I should have a really good idea then.

Oh, and pictures:

Awesome!

When can I expect mine? Q4 22? 1H 2023? Will you be sending an email by July 1st to let us know where you stand?

Thanks

You'll get yours when production starts in 2022 / delivery in 2023.

No, June 2023.

No, July 2023.

No, deliveries will actually begin in September 2023.

Sike - September 2023 is just for employees of RWerks Magsaf-ian. You may get yours in 'Spring 2024'

I'll give you a delivery date in December, right after RWerks Magsaf-ian goes public.

Your delivery date will be May-June 2024.

You know that pre-order price? Yeah, it's going up by 20% because of viruses and raw materials and me trying to compete with that other guy on Instagram with his CyberMagsafe pad and not knowing how to price anything for long term viability.

Nevermind on the last entry.

You're new delivery date will be Q4 2024. The bespoke white wood/ABS plastic starts to turn yellow after a smidge and we can't have that, now can we?

iJustine will get a demo before you get yours.

OutofSpecKyle knows me and totally won't cut in line before you because he's a Youtuber or anything. He'll either totally cop to it afterward or totally do some song and dance to avoid it. Either way, don't be mad. Everyone he knows that got one also knew me and you should just, like, know me too and not be a peasant.


Also, this post might be the most sarcastic thing I've ever written. Feels both good and a bit depressing.

Great work! I'm in.

But seriously... when can I order

 

[el_scorcho]

In for a double please!

Does it matter? 100% chance for 90% of the people on here that the charger arrives before the truck...

I have my truck... want one now... so yes it matters.

This is awesome! As many others have said, great work! I am also interested in a double as soon as they are available to purchase.

 

[cleanwings]

Dual for me, please!

 

[John.m.martin44]

I’d be interested in a double or single whatever comes first honestly. Already have my truck and an iPhone 13 Pro Max that won’t charge on the current pad.

 

[CKirby]

I would like a dual as soon as possible. How can we get them?

 

[Simms]

I’ll take a dual!
