    Tesla: "First Cybertruck Built at Giga Texas! 🤠"

    Pretty funny trash talking a truck on second truck's site because the first truck can't do things that the second truck can't do either.

    🚨 Rivian Adopts Tesla NACS Standard! (Adapters in 2024, Standard Charging Port in 2025)

    Waiting for an adapter from Tesla, should be here next Spring

    🚨 Rivian Adopts Tesla NACS Standard! (Adapters in 2024, Standard Charging Port in 2025)

    All true, except this line, but the point is valid, Tesla didn't speak CCS back in the day and old Teslas may never speak it, but the communication standard is actually Tesla specific, and the CHAdeMO adapter has actual electronics translating between the Tesla and the DCFCharger

    🚨 Rivian Adopts Tesla NACS Standard! (Adapters in 2024, Standard Charging Port in 2025)

    I would think it's to give them time to work out any bugs. I doubt anyone but Upper Management has had any input on this issue so far, it's gonna take Tesla and the other teams engineers getting together to figure out what features are mandatory. For example, people keep talking about the short...

    🚨 Rivian Adopts Tesla NACS Standard! (Adapters in 2024, Standard Charging Port in 2025)

    Yup, probably won't require much considering SAE is a standards body, and the standard is in general distribution and functioning. Any changes they might suggest could only break what is already working. Once there is a standard to build to anyone can make chargers or adapters, although enough...

    🚨 Rivian Adopts Tesla NACS Standard! (Adapters in 2024, Standard Charging Port in 2025)

    Maybe by only moving one brand they can better see which way the wind is blowing (although it SEEMS obvious which way that is)

    🚨 Rivian Adopts Tesla NACS Standard! (Adapters in 2024, Standard Charging Port in 2025)

    Hidden? There are tons of diagrams showing the two versions, but they are both compatible with each other, and will always provide the correct volts/amps for specific charging situations. Tesla was initially jaded about 800v cars when Porsche announced that was their direction. Elon and RJ...

    🚨 Rivian Adopts Tesla NACS Standard! (Adapters in 2024, Standard Charging Port in 2025)

    Version 1 and 2 Tesla Wall Connectors go to 19.2kW, if you have enough capability in your cars AC charger. The newest ones they sell now only go to 11 (Like Spinal Tap)

    🚨 Rivian Adopts Tesla NACS Standard! (Adapters in 2024, Standard Charging Port in 2025)

    Polestar? I think they are 400v, they will actually be able to charge faster at a Supercharger as they advertise their max charge rate as 250kW which they CANNOT reach at a CCS site that only allows 500 amps down the cord. Superchargers can get to 750 amps

    Ford/Tesla Deal: Access to Superchargers, adapter coming, future EVs will have NACS (Tesla) port

    I read the suggestion a few pages back that we hire people to stand at each of the CCS stations and help people plug them in (like they do at NJ/Oregon gas stations), is that still a good idea or with GM and the dominos yet to fall are we assuming the future now looks bright for those with...

    Ford/Tesla Deal: Access to Superchargers, adapter coming, future EVs will have NACS (Tesla) port

    Since the ONLY change on GM and Ford vehicles is the connector, and the AC/DC switching, otherwise the car is identical, they are NOT going to be using the Tesla CAN bus based communication with the Superchargers, and the Tesla Destination Chargers already speak the same language as J1772 plugs...

    Ford/Tesla Deal: Access to Superchargers, adapter coming, future EVs will have NACS (Tesla) port

    Assuming you are charging at this site than you are not just pissing Tesla drivers off with taking two stalls it would also be everyone who has the ability to charge like you at that Supercharger. If you goal is to get restrictions on Rivians this would be a good strategy. The 12 Magic Dock...

    Ford/Tesla Deal: Access to Superchargers, adapter coming, future EVs will have NACS (Tesla) port

    Letting fly with the bile, can't help attacking Tesla fans I see. I never did make a reference to the *protocol*, never even used the word, I was talking about the connector which I specifically called out. Several people have mentioned since I did that CCS1 is not up to snuff when compared to...

    Ford/Tesla Deal: Access to Superchargers, adapter coming, future EVs will have NACS (Tesla) port

    There is the fact that the two CCS's don't share where the latch is, so the plug is likely the problem, sure it's ALSO the providers, but it's kinda strange that there are dozen's of charging networks in North America, and the one that WORKS is the one using the better plug. And in Europe they...
