Count me in for the dual.

Sorry, my dudes, You're too late. I've sold through my stock and I'm not planning on another batch.

Please keep us at the top of your list if you ever run another batch. Thanks

I'd sell my kit for $50 if anyone wants to give it a shot.

Do you still have it available?

Sorry, sold.

I have a never installed, pre-built version, still in unopened box as I received it. DM me if interested.

I have two units available - one of Rob's unconstructed v.2 kits and one that I built based on Rob's generously shared 3-D files and parts list. Unfortunately, the lip around my phone's cameras doesn't allow it to be secured by the MagSafe chargers.
DM me if interested.

I’m like 99% certain Rivian is re-engineering the coils and has hired an 3rd party entity to handle the redesign; I trust my source.

Does your source think we will get free retrofits or just later builds get working units?

They wouldn't have any visibilty on that.

The first one looks to have been either designed and/or built by Delta Electronics. I'd imagine they would be handling the revised version as well.

Also, TBF, I'm not qualified to make a mass produced part to do this. What I did was take off-the-self parts, put them together in an assembly, and designed a CAD part to hold them all. It was OK for someone off the street, very much not so for someone who calls themselves a professional in the field.

There are some many things that I look back on and think I can improve on it...

Dunno who did the first one, but it’s not them doing to redesign .

Please include me on wanting a dual charger. Thank you

 

[RivianRiverRat]

Since I didn’t get in line soon enough for the RWerksman model
I ordered a dual mag charger off Amazon for $35 and a usbc to usbc cable (I see the price has increased a bit and the one I ordered came with a charger puck and usbc to usba cable)
Unplugged the Q charger (thanks for the instructions) and used some double sided padded tape
