  1. Why can't they retrofit existing R1's with NACS?

    I would tend to agree. We go to Mammoth a couple of weekends a month (from Newport Beach) so most of the time when we are not charging at home we use RAN. We do have the NACS adapter, and it has worked well whenever we've needed to use it, no issues once you are used to it. I have done long...
  2. A Beautiful Disaster — Rivian Is Not Ready for Prime Time

    I'm sorry it hasn't been good for you. I've had my Rivian for two years, and everything has been great for me. So far my experiences with the service centers have been good. Hopefully that won't change. But I think the point to be made is that you are an n=1 sample, much like myself...
  3. [Un-Resolved again!] Why am I doing this to myself - long time Rivian customer close to giving up.

    I haven't read through the entire thread, but I can't deny that the OP has certainly had a rough history. I myself have had very good luck, for the most part. I have a gen 1 quad/large that I got in May of 2023. I would have preferred a dual/max, we drive to Mammoth from Newport every other...
  4. JuiceBox (Enel X Way USA LLC) shutting down business in North America

    I used one of their chargers in Crystal Falls Michigan. It worked well, although as I recall I used a credit card and not the app. The location was excellent, and important if you are travelling in the UP. Now that I finally got my Tesla adapter it would not be quite as big of a deal, I...
  5. Rivian NACS Adapters begin arriving!

    @DeafPug thank you! I'm definitely going to look into that! In August I did a roadtrip from Newport Beach to the UP in Michigan, going there in early August and back in late August. It would have been nice to have the adapter, and I would have definitely gotten use out of the membership!
  6. Rivian NACS Adapters begin arriving!

    I used my adapter yesterday for the first time. I just did it to test it out, I'm not on a road trip so no need for supercharging. I went to a Tesla station pretty near my house. I was able to get plugged in, but after attempting to start I got a message that it couldn't charge, and that I...
  7. Rivian NACS Adapters begin arriving!

    Delivered yesterday afternoon! R1T, 5/5/23 delivery. Reservation made end of March, 2023.
  8. Rivian NACS Adapters begin arriving!

    Glad to hear the A2Z is working. I'm going to order one. It makes sense to have both. I took the whole month of August basically off (I'm paying for it now ?) to drive from Newport Beach to the UP in Michigan with my dog. I've done this trip before, and it went quite smoothly, but it REALLY...
  9. Rivian NACS Adapters begin arriving!

    Just got my email today for address confirmation. 05/05/23 delivery, R1T. I don't have the VIN offhand.
  10. If Rivian had a trade-in incentive program... trade Gen 1 for Gen 2?

    I don't think it will always be this way. The EV market is still very new, and lots of people are still wary. My guess is that in 10 years the charging situation will be far different, more reliable, and many more people will be willing to jump in. It is going to take time, and it will...
  11. If Rivian had a trade-in incentive program... trade Gen 1 for Gen 2?

    Yeah, they really don't have much incentive to make me an offer I would like. My hope is that QM/large gen 1 R1Ts end up holding their value well, and then I would get something in gen 3. I don't need to change, but if they get 800v for gen 3 that would be awesome. Gen 2 looks great, but not...
  12. If Rivian had a trade-in incentive program... trade Gen 1 for Gen 2?

    Obviously it depends on the incentive program, and how enticing it was. I have a May 2023 delivery R1T/QM/large. I love it, the greatest car I have ever owned if I'm being somewhat objective. The Pathfinder I drove across the country in college that I drove through college, Tahoe and grad...
  13. Next Batch of NACS Adapters Shipping to Rivian Owners!

    Beat me to it!! I know an R1T owner? in Newport Beach who took delivery in May of 2023 who would definitely be interested in the official adapter. This individual is driving to northern Michigan in the end of July, and highly doubts he will receive his adapter before then. The drive has...
  14. Any updates on receiving the Tesla charging adapter?

    I got my R1T in May 2023. Vin is 21XXX, so I'm sure I will have to wait. It's obviously frustrating. I would really like to get it by late July, I have a trip from Southern California to the UP in Michigan planned, and it would make the trip much easier. I have done the trip the past two...
  15. Q2 2024 will be "messy" says RJ. Confirms NACS adapters now shipping

    Yeah, I'm curious to see how it will shake out. Lots of people are finally getting their CTs, after waiting for years. My guess is that the CT is going to boom for a bit, and then slow down. I have a CT reservation. I couldn't resist the 500 miles of range, or the fact that Elmo broke the...
  16. 2025 Standard Pack LFP Battery EPA Test data released. Heat pump confirmed

    I hear this type of thinking often, and while I understand it, I don't see it as entirely accurate. I'm in a qm/large r1t, took delivery in May of 2023. We drive from Newport Beach to Mammoth every other weekend in the winter. While we can make the large pack work, it would be really nice to...
  17. Conflict at the Supercharger

    Last summer, while driving from Newport Beach to the UP in Michigan, I had lots of bad experiences at EA chargers. At this point I really don't trust them. The summer of 2022 I did the same drive when I still had my Tesla. The difference in reliability between Tesla and EA was substantial...
  18. Rivian's infinite R1T Max Pack Inventory

    I would not. The R1T large pack works for us, but BARELY!!!!:) We got to Mammoth just about every other weekend in the winter from Newport Beach. We got r1t/quad/large because it was what was available. I love the car, but it would be nice to have the max pack. If we leave our house with a...
  19. Tesla saves Rivian - Mammoth Mountain Edition

    I would agree. In my experience, I typically lose about 5 miles when it's parked outside in Mammoth. That's on the high side. The R1T doesn't fit in the garage of our ski share, so it's always parked outside. I was being gentle with the op in my first post, but you have to be pretty clueless...
