If you haven't gotten an email to confirm your address, then you don't have an update. It's been relatively quiet on the adaptor delivery front, with hardly anyone receiving theirs up until this point.

Thanks, yeah I did respond to the email but it would be nice if they would let you know that you are on the list and when to expect shipment.

Ordered an A2Z EV adaptor today... My Invoice indicates: "Orders take around 10 to 15 business days to ship as we have an important volume of orders"

I'm not holding my breath, but I'll update when it arrives.

I’ll be curious if they truly can track which adapter you use and void warranties or not. I’ve seen that being said in a few post. I was looking at getting a third party adapter for a backup so it’s crossed my mind a few times. lol

track which adapter
Is this really a concern? I've NEVER charged my R1S on a Rivian brand charger, cable or adaptor. Rivian was built to accept 120v AC, 240v AC and DC voltage from nearly any outlet and charging station that you can plug into it - then it's up to the car and charge port's electronics to determine what the incoming voltage and current are and how that will impact a charging session charging. Rivian wouldn't know the difference if I plug directly into my garage receptacle or if the other end of the cable gors down the street and is hooked up to a gorilla on a bicycle.

That said, It's a litigious world. Can your trailer hitch accept Non-Rivian trailers? Does aftermarket window tint void your car Insurance? Does Rivian know about the time I used an offroad drive mode while driving ON THE ROAD, just to make my R1S look taller next to some other guy's Bronco?

They can track that they only sent out about 1k adapters and to what VIN#'s they sent them to.

Can people just stop asking for updates? It comes to you when one is ready. We don’t work for Rivian. Most at Rivian probably couldn’t tell you either, until Tesla tells them there are X units due to ship out on X day. You’ll know one is coming once they ask you to confirm your address. If you can’t wait, put in the time to learn about the two well regarded third party adapters. And, read and understand Rivian’s position on them and your legal liability. Then, just get one once you decide you accept the risks. It’s that straightforward.

This is a forum, sir.

This would be a violation of the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act if they voided a warranty for this.

This......They can't void your warranty unless they can prove your after market adapter caused the issue. I ordered my A2Z three weeks ago and got it today. Ran to Tesla unit in Peoria and it worked like a charm. Went from 49 percent to 73 percent while I ran into HyVee to use the restroom. They've obviously improved charge curve since I last fast charged. I couldn't believe it. Think I was gone 12 minutes.

Good thing they have the list of who owns Fords since Adapter is exactly the same. Tinfoil runs strong on forums.
Not sure I understand....can you expand?
