The magic dock is just for research and development to see what changes must be made to make NACS an open standard in order for Tesla to qualify for government funding. As of right now, it does not qualify because every vehicle cannot charge on Tesla supercharges while every vehicle can charge...
This is FAKE news!! None of this companies are really switching to NCAS. This is just to sure up the weak positions of these companies and raise stock margins in the near term. The Supercharger network is opening up to all vehicles regardless of these verbal agreements.

Towing is...
The Max Pack will most likely be canceled for the following reasons:
Cost: It will be too expensive to produce
Most consumers will not need 400 miles of range.
A 180 to 200 KWH battery is not environmentally friendly (Hummer EV)
Rivian will lose money for their shareholders for every MAX Pack...
I also changed from the Max Pack to the Large Pack in the beginning of May, and I was assigned a guide a few days later. I confirmed my configuration on May 16, and now its 9 weeks later and nothing. I feel your pain, but I believe this is part of their strategy of reducing the number of Max...
