Gen1 is just a little behind. The new samples are in route though.

Factory wraps up production Friday. Then they will ship it to us. I want to make an install video first before people buy, but I'll do that immediately once I get the product.

Me right now, looking at the s00nish website:
Rivian R1T R1S s00nish Production Update on Chargers 1736455118124-h6


The chargers you had for our gen1's were (and are) amazing - wanting to get the same in our gen2! (will we still need to use a usb port in the gen2 - or have you found somewhere else to tap into?)

Truthfully, want to make sure everyone understands what they are getting. I know we could do pre-orders etc. But I want everyone to be happy. It's going to be good though.

Just saw the question: It's going to use the USB ports. I have a lot less space to work with, but I am looking into tapping into power. Just not quite yet.

Will it be using both USB ports in the center? If so, how will we plug in the driving storage and have the chargers?

I've got one more trick that I'm going to try with a Gen2. Otherwise I'll explain the options in the install video.

It seems like placing a small battery between the charger and the car would solve the problems caused by having an insufficient number of insufficiently powerful 12v/USB outputs on the car.

Some QI2 chargers even have a battery integrated into the charger which would be a really elegant solution if they are not too big to fit in the space we have.

We have about 6.5 mm of space.... So umm not much. I actually thought about a battery. But it needs to charge itself.

Nope, as I am not making them. We will be selling them. If and when I have news about it, I'll be happy to share. As of this moment its not in our hands.
