Yes. I have already requested it from Lectron, but they are dragging their feet. I even had Rivian support on it and they concluded it was the adapter.
Yes. Definitely holding the trigger down while inserting the Tesla charger. In fact, it won’t go into the adapter without the trigger being depressed. I think the the trigger clip isn’t long enough to catch the Tesla charger indentation. If you look at this picture, you can see it is inserted...
Thank you for sending the video. I have tried both ways, adapter to Tesla first then Rivian and adapter in Rivian first then Tesla. What I noticed in your video was that when you connected the adapter to the Tesla cable, you pressed on the trigger of the adapter and then Tesla was inserted AND...
Quick question and update. I tried a hard reset and then again visited another supercharger on the “adapter needed” Rivian and Tesla list (nice to have so many Tesla superchargers available quite honestly ;) that did not change anything, BUT I did notice that when I plugged in the Lectron...
Tried the hard reset and still didn’t work, BUT I noticed the Lectron does not click to lock the Tesla plug, so that might be an issue and why it won’t charge.
Truth! While this is not an urgent need, I figured, I would try it out and get the adapter. I am quite familiar with and have teslas since 2012, so, I am comfortable with charging, and traveling up and down the east coast every few months Utilizing Tesla chargers. I am optimistic when the...
I am away from the truck, but this is what I was sent. And I checked the specs and it is exactly as depicted. I ordered it months ago and it arrived a few weeks ago and I just got around to testing it.
Thanks for the insight. I am going to test a few month combinations and options and report back. I think it is either a bad adapter and/or Rivian software. Issue. I will first start with a hard reset and try again.
Yes, first time charging at a Tesla supercharger. That was my initial hunch, maybe I am being blocked because I haven’t received the authorized adapter. But then I read others having success with fhe A2Z and Lectron adapter. It appears that the connection is good , but what makes it confusing is...
I even tried that too! I figured maybe the Rivian network wasn’t working and then went directly to my active Tesla app (with credit card loaded up) and chose the specific charger ID and the same thing happened. At both locations.
Thank you for the quick reply. The two chargers I visited both are available for NACs adapter (according to the Tesla app and the appearance in the Rivian GPS) and credit cards are working as I immediately went to a DC Fast Charger near the last Tesla station to make sure it wasn’t a...
I wanted to test out the Lectron Tesla adapter, at a Tesla Supercharger 250kw. (I know, iLectron is not currently an approved adapter by Rivian…), but it didn’t seem to work. These two stations showed up on my Rivian navigation system, I assume they are available for use.
I tried two different...
I truly believe the “interest rate” excuse is being over used, especially when it comes to failure to meet delivery metrics (many high end auto manufacturers have used it this past earnings season). Rivian used that on their earnings call, but, to your point, if a product is in great demand...
