I don't think our R1s will be obsolete if there is an adapter without any reduction in performance. A Ford/GM adapter has already been announced, so it stands to reason an adaptor that works on Rivian and others will come before it's an issue. If I'm wrong however, I will also feel the teeth kick.

Fair. I am only referring to the number of working chargers currently in the US when I say "so far ahead."

Yep. Years ago Tesla knew charging was the biggest barrier to widespread EV adoption. Tesla knew chargers needed to be available where you needed it, easy to use, and reliable for people to be comfortable witching from ICE. EVs and Tesla were always going to live or die based on charging. So...

I don't disagree that it would have been ideal for a non-proprietary solution to be the sole charging standard in the US, but at this point that's not realistic. NACS is just so far ahead of CCS (in terms of installation base) in the US that it isn't going anywhere and it would have taken more...

It really amazes me how against this people are. This is one of the single biggest positive moves toward nation wide EV adoption. This is going to be a positive for every person on this thread. In ~2 years no one is going to be complaining about "bring back CCS!" "Save CCS!" "we need multiple...

I wasn’t implying that or making that assumption (and don‘t actually think that will be the case). My point was only that the they will exist and if people really hate Tesla so much they can charge on non-Tesla NACS or non-Tesla CCS regardless of quality and quantity. In my opinion the...

Of course I don‘t know for sure, but it’s a logical assumption. Rivian is a small public company in the business of selling EVs. We are seeing the start of a domino effect towards NACS. Rivian has no real interest in CCS other than it already exists on the cars and they have a handful of RAN...

Until my Rivian gets boat mode and I can float it across the Atlantic and use European CCS (which is a different plug) the worldwide metic doesn't really matter to me. But until then I’m only interested in the chargers that I can actually use. Right now thats CCS in North America, but hopefully...

We might be using the word differently. I’m referring to the more of the dictionary version of “standard.” For instance: In 2 years or less the NACS plug will be “an object that is regarded as the usual or most common size or form of its kind“

Points 2-5 assume you are charging at a Tesla SC vs using a NACS in general. With NACS being open (and the standard going forward) non-Tesla charge companies (e.g. EVgo, Chargepoint, etc.) will eventually support NACS. If you think the SC network and/or Tesla is terrible you will have options...

Hopefully Tesla sells an adapter with about 6 feet of cable. Rivian needs to move the port to front passenger at some point. Rear driver doesn’t make sense for towing.

I'm super excited knowing CCS is dying and we will all be on one standard soon. It was never going to be a good idea to have multiple charge standards, and this day was coming one way or another. Rivian will get onboard within a couple months and we will get an adapter. Tesla's standard won...

I think this confirms my assumption that Rivian has not opened up the software side of things. So it's more of a Rivian issue vs a 3rd party collision center issue. I have no idea if other tech focused cars like Tesla are the same. Ironically, I had originally called Rivian asking if I could...

Not sure how to feel about this. Saw my battery dropped decently, so I checked the mileage and saw it went up ~15 miles. Checked the Rivian app and see my R1T is now at the Rivian Service center. When I dropped it off the guy did say "we will have to take it to El Segundo to get sensors...

This type of issue is very concerning to me. I had the realization how dangerous having everything computerized on an adventure was while off roading in a 100+ degree desert recently. Most of my water was locked in the bed with a cover on. We could have literally died if this issue happened and...

the thought crossed my mind when I saw one for 1.5k on eBay a couple month ago. Mostly because it would have been done already.

It's been two months and I've finally dropped off the truck for repairs yesterday. Took a few weeks to get USAA to approve the supplemental, then several more weeks to get parts ordered from Rivian. They prepared me for an additional supplemental if they find anything once they open things up...

Wow. I used this exact same charging stall in April during a trip. Was there for about 30 minutes and everything worked fine and was fast. Crazy to think what could have happened…

I'm skeptical the issue was caused by the lectron. Did the service center examine the lectron adapter and note something specific on the adaptor that was problematic? If not, they are probably just making a simple assumption. There are enough people that have used it without issue that I doubt...

If there is going to be an adaptor for Ford why would that adapter not work for every other CCS? You can charge on a Magic Dock charger now, so no software integration required. I see this as a sign all CCS cars will be able to use SC network soon via an adapter and pay via the Tesla app
