June 2022 delivery here and no adapter yet so I’d say you will be waiting a while longer. As others have said, it’s a Tesla issue and Tesla probably doesn’t care to help out a rival EV manufacturer.
Exactly. I'm a June 2022 delivery. VIN 45xx. Not expecting it any time soon based on the nonsense going on at Tesla.

While I don't have any trips planned that would require DC fast charging, I decided I'd rather have the option to use Tesla SC just in case and ordered the new A2Z Pro adapter. Very possible I'll never use it before my Rivian/Tesla adapter comes, but I'm ok with the $200 expense. My bet is Tesla eventually allows UL listed adapters and I can just sell my free Rivian/Tesla adapter. In the meantime, I'm fine taking on the added risk.

I heard that if enough of us reach out to Rivian, we might get an email update from Tony Caravano.

It'll just say, "s00n"

Yes, we know the Rivian team could be better communicating with us, the R1x owners. Heck, most times Gear Shop items are delivered on the same day the shipment email arrives. So, either wait for your FREEBIE to appear or order the alternative.

Another item for an FAQ. With the CP/AA wants, the better resolution cams for the G1, why "full payment" is required before seeing the/receipt of the vehicle, is the destination fee needed, and so many others.

Though I suspect people would still complain, sorry I mean ask.

To me the only thing wrong with Rivian’s approach with the adapter is that they are not charging us for it. I do not see what the business case is for doing so.

As far as waiting is concerned, uh, er, um…. YOU’RE GETTING THIS THING FOR FREE!!!! Every kvetch from people about not getting their adapter right now reminds me of this that shows up here now and again:

One would posit that RJ and team have more important things to do than fixate on our effing adapters.

It’s weird no one here seems to talk about Tesla magic dock chargers. You can filter on your nav for Tesla chargers, and turn off locations that are incompatible or require the adapter. Anything left showing is a magic dock and you can use it. Just used one last week and it was great.
I tried finding a magic dock in Houston after the Hurricane and not a single one in Houston. 4th largest city in America and not a one. Maybe I did my search wrong. Very possible. I tried the Tesla site and I think somewhere I think only 40 magic docks in the country

For what it's worth, I spoke to someone at Rivian last week, and although he was not able to help expedite an adapter for my summer travels, he did note that himself and his team have been notified that all adapters will be shipped by the end of August
A service rep at Rivian said the same thing to me.

Says the guy in a state with 17 MagicDock locations, most states have zero or one. (List by RickMachE in the Ford Mach-E forum).

Number of Magic Dock locations, by state, as of 7/7/24 - 70 locations, 736 chargers (US), 3 locations, 24 chargers (Canada)

A) I took delivery of an Ioniq 5 in February of 2022. According to Hyundai, access to Superchargers is planned for Q1 2025. And "Hyundai will offer an adapter" ... but not gratis, as far as I know.
B) Be thankful that Rivians are currently allowed to use (some) superchargers, even if you have to spend a couple hundred bucks for a 3rd party adapter to complete the puzzle. Now (in my Rivian, but not in my Ioniq 5) I can take some trips in "fly over" states that were previously impossible.
C) If you're worried about warranty issues with 3rd party adapters, watch the forums for posts about Rivians that were harmed by 3rd party adapters. Then assess your risk accordingly.

Yeah they told me all of them by the end of June a couple of months ago. I’ll believe it when I see it.
It’s nice that they gave you the month when all will be shipped but did any of you ask which YEAR? :CWL:
