Non-Magic Dock NACS in Rivian Nav

[TimJim]

It appears that a few non-Magic Dock Tesla NACS sites have appeared in the Rivian App under Navigation. There appear to be 3 such locations in California and one in Nevada. I found this by accident as I was planning a trip and it routed me to the Jackson Tesla charger. That location does not have a Magic Dock. For reference the first capture is a screenshot from the Tesla charger in Scott’s Valley which does have Magic Docks and the second capture is from a NACS compatible charger just down the road in Capitola. This may just be a test, but I note the “Use the Tesla app or a credit card to get started” in both instructions, but the NACS location says that charging is “free.” I’m sure it’s only free because nobody can currently use it. Also, make sure when trip planning right now that if they send you to a Tesla charger, make sure it is a Magic Dock charger. Had I shown up to charge in Capitola or Jackson on a low state of charge because navigation told me to, that could have been… fun.

I can already see the threads from people who let the nav route them to one of those chargers before we have access and how Rivian ruined their life and they are thinking about suing them.

Reading that makes me want to follow Jeremy around charging everywhere he charges, annoying him as much as possible. What a jerkoff.

I mean seriously, what if the next one has…. A BOLT‽

And this is exactly the reason why some people think Tesla owners are all tools.

I would not. That guy definitely sniffs his own farts and expects others to enjoy them too.

he's gotta be joking, right?

Many years ago, a coworker bought "his dream car" - a 25 year old (1984, IIRC) Corvette.

One day, he complained that someone had parked next to him in the parking lot.

So the next day, I was driving in, and I see that he has parked in a very far corner of the (suburban corporate office park) parking lot. I parked next to him. (It hadn't been me the day before.)

After lunch, he came back and ranted for the rest of the afternoon about how someone chose to park next to him AGAIN.

Next day, I chose to drive my wife's car instead of my usual, so it wouldn't be the same car again. He was parked across two parking spots at the edge of the parking lot. So I parked next to him again, as if the lines were based on where he was parked, rather than where they really were.

Yep, more ranting. Our other coworkers had figured out it was me, they all kept silent because they thought it was hilarious, too.

The next day, he was parked taking *FOUR* parking spots. (No barriers between aisles, the center of his car was under the lines for both aisles and individual parking spots.) I was driving yet a different vehicle, so I parked next to him again. This time in a normal parking spot.

And filed a complaint in our internal ticketing system about the badly parked car.

About 10 minutes later, my boss comes over, quietly gets me away, "did you file the ticket about <person>'s parking?"

Yeah.

"Uh…. Can you retract it? He's a contractor, he'll get fired for it."

"Oh, yeah, I was just hoping for a note on his windshield!"

I stopped messing with him after that. Our boss did have a talk with him about his parking. If he doesn't want people parking next to it in a public parking lot, he needs to not drive it to work.

Sadly for him, it got totaled about a month later while it was parked by a drunk driver. (Not at the office.)

Irony is dead. It is literally impossible to tel when someone is joking or not any more. I have met Tesla owners that I absolutely expect that to be their honest belief.

That is some high level trolling, sir?

Exactly. I'm *assuming* he was joking, but who knows. People think some crazy shit.

 

[Captain JB]

that is funny but sad for sure

Lesson of the day-Tesla cars are special. I was mistaken to think a Bugatti was.
