NACS Adapter reservation emails are now going out!!!!

[SurfnBike]

I am VIN #26000, no email from Rivian yet about this adapter. I was hoping to get it for my trip to Utah later this month but I doubt that will happen.

What does Rivian tell you?

I contacted Rivian Support via chat, and they said they will opt me on on their end....lol. Probably doing nothing just to make us feel happy ?

They have not started shipping them, no chance to see it this month. The initial Email was just an opt in email, they have not sent out any additional communication, next step is supposed to be verifying the address.

Have you checked all of your junk and spam folders? Seems like they sent that opt in message to all owners. This is the address that the email came from;

Edit: Their response to you sounds like they flipped the switch on their side as if you clicked the link in the email, so you may be all set. Just watch for people to start receiving the mail verification notices and see if you get one. You may want to whitelist the below email for future notices just in case.

I would reach out to Rivian, in some form, as you should have received one by now - per Rivian (see earlier post from a member who spoke to Rivian and is in a similar spot as you.

I reached out to customer service on Friday and received a very nice email in reply that this was being looked into that I should have received an email. The sender said he had personally registered my intention to receive an adapter, also saying the deliveries will be based on when customers had received their vehicles so since I got mine in March 22, I should be one of the early ones to receive it. I was very please with Rivian response to my email. Great customer service

quick google search....

How many Rivian trucks have been delivered in 2022?

For reference, in 2022, Rivian produced 24,337 electric vehicles and delivered 20,332 to customers. Cumulatively, Rivian produced over 82,500 electric vehicles and delivered over 71,300. - Jan 2, 2024

I assume that's 100,000 of all models, including EDV/etc. If so, they won't need 100k J3400->CCS adapters for a while since all those EDVs won't need one.

Probably all models, but the reason I posted that Tweet was because @Jblaze121 was (apparently?) trying to say that 100k was the wrong number to use as an estimate.

But I say 100k is the correct number to use when making an estimate of how many adapters Rivian will need to ship out initially. And is the correct number to use by Rivian for ordering and planning for the fulfillment of the free adapters. It's an estimate, not meant to be exact. And this thread is about adapters, not about exact production numbers.

100k is correct to use as an estimate because Rivian will be sending a free adapter to everyone who opts-in by August 2 (as per the opt-in email). Even with the April shutdown that's another 10k-15k vehicles. Using a number from January (which is what @Jblaze121 was quoting) is not really a good way to estimate how many adapaters will be needed because it is an old number and doesn't consider the near future production and delivery.

 

[Jblaze121]

Sorry for any confusion, I was only focused on me. So ~20k need to be sent for people who got their vehicle in 2022.

How long do we think it will take to clear the first 20k?
How many has Ford sent so far?
Do we think Rivian got a similar distribution?

 

[VSG]

I don't think Ford has sent them to anyone yet, aside from a few "influencers" ?

The way Ford works will probably be a good guideline for how long it takes to get Rivian adapters - both Ford and Rivian are sourcing their adapters from Tesla. Maybe one company will do better than the other in terms of planning on how many they will need and putting in their order early, or maybe Tesla will dole them out equally (or not equally) - it's really hard to know since the details of this whole supercharger deal are hidden from the public.

Likewise, there are a lot of *other* manufacturers who have signed the deal with Tesla, so adapters will be needed for more than just Ford and Rivian. I hope Tesla has planned for this and is doing a major ramp in manufacturing. We might all end up getting adapters sooner than we expect if the production is ramping up.

Regardless, there are maybe 1 million CCS vehicles on the road that will be able to use adapters, and it is unlikely in my opinion that they will all get adapters by the end of this year. The best we can do is watch and extrapolate, set our expectations reasonably and perhaps buy a third-party adapter if you really need one before you will reasonably expect to get one from Rivian. Right now, I personally don't expect to have my adapter from Rivian in time for my Summer travels. And I took delivery of my R1T in 2022 ... If Rivian does send me an adapter before then, I will be pleasantly surprised, but I'm not making plans that *require* that to happen.

 

[ironpig]

They haven't sent them out yet. They are just getting a tally of how many people are opting in. My R1T Vin is in the 4500s from 2022 so I'm relatively early and I'll post if I get one, but I'm not holding my breath.

There are adapters from Lectron and A2Z if you need one now.

For sure they'll need to order more than the total R1 vehicles sold to date. In addition to the free adapters, they'll be selling adapters to people who lose theirs or for people who buy an R1 after the free offer ends.

Received the email and confirmed last week.
Took delivery a couple of weeks ago, 2024 R1S produced in Dec 2023.

I have a package coming in today from "COX AUTOMOTIVE CORPORATE SERVICES, LLC" which I didn't order anything from.
I've looked up and it looks like they sell EV charging products.

Could that be it or am I too hopeful?

I thought Rivian said it is going to confirm shipping address before sending adapter out so probably not the adapter.
