As said above, the current Rivian charging pad is basically a paperweight. I never once got my iPhone 14 Pro Max to charge. Immediately upon going with an Adventure High Tech charger, this problem went away.

It's apparent that the Rivian one is way over-engineered for its intended purpose. That space is only large enough for two max-sized phones to sit in one orientation. I don't know how fast my phone charges when on the pad however, even with streaming bluetooth music, my phone always has more charge than when it was placed on the pad.

Based on feedback I've seen on this forum for both Twraps and Adventure High Tech, you can't go wrong with either choice. Make the change, be happy, and don't constantly worry about a solution from Rivian that's perpetually someone s00n.
I am able to charge an iPhone 12 and 14 on the factory charger. both of them I have top of the phone pointing at the driver, 1/2 inch from left border and 1/2 inch from front boarder, sit the phone down and in about 5 seconds starts charging. I do not charge often but on a trip this has worked pretty well on the highway.

I have one of the aftermarket pads with the magsafe pucks. It works really well due to the magsafe. I would recommend it but I do not remember which company I bought it from. Its the one with the wood cover piece that has the topographic map on it and the granola bowl. Easy to install and still works great 4 months later.

We have a 14 Pro and an 10 and we could get one of them to charge at a time on the R1S pad, but we had to hold it in place - as soon as we went around a turn it slid off the "sweet spot" and stopped charging. Bought the TWraps solution and it's perfect. My 10 doesn't have magsafe charging (my 15 will) but I plug in if I need to charge it.

My iPhone 12 pro will charge if in the right spot, but honestly it still seems to die on the charger and just gets hot. With a thin case on or without, the charger is pretty useless. I had a Tesla M3 loaner and I owned a 2021 Ford Explorer just before the R1T and those chargers worked beautifully. I have an appt at the SC to see if they can fix this abysmal charging pad or try and get more info. I'll report back when I have my appt...in NOVEMBER...

Will have iPhone 15 pro in a week or two to try as well.
