NACS DC Tesla Adapter News Update: Timetable, Priority, Gear Shop Availability

[defcon888]

As one who has been working with the A2Z all Summer, I can’t imagine the “real” Tesla adapter is any different: Get yourself a set of good, lightweight gloves when you’re at Harbor Freight (or anywhere else). I have some inexpensive gloves from the local ACE Hardware, with elastic back and nitrile coating on the palm and fingers.

The adapter gets VERY warm when in use (let’s just call it hot), and you need a firm grip on the hot adapter to take it off the Tesla dispenser connector. The gloves will allow you both a secure grip on the adapter and no heat-related problems with your hand.

I place it directly into the frunk and give it time (30-60 minutes) to cool off before placing it back in its case. I toss the gloves into the frunk as well, and avoid eye contact with the Tesla owners giving me the stink eye.

People were talking about getting the case from Harbor Frieght and storing it in there.

Thanks for the tips......we haven't charged in public in over a year. I might do a tes TESLA charge one of these days!

These threads make my blood boil.. I took delivery of my R1T in May '22 and also bought a R1S in May of "23. Opted on for both and haven't seen anything since. Every time I try to ask about it I get nothing or get explained to that they are being sent out by "earliest deliveries first"..
I'm now seeing people that have taken delivery almost a year after I got my truck get their adapters.

I'd call your nearest SC, although you've probably done that multiple times already.

So just got my delivery email to verify delivery address today. May ‘23 R1T delivery. Hoping it shows up soon!

I just called support since I had questioned the adapter before buying my vehicle from a dealer and was told I would receive a free adapter. Just got off a chat with them and I was opted in, looking forward to it! You guys are awesome!

Me too! I own both R1T 03/2022 and R1S 08/2023 and have talked to CS 5 times and SC once and they don't even try to help. Just say they have no access to that information and be patient and to look for my delivery address confirmation email. It is infuriating.

I suspect that the date is defaulting to the second purchase and not the first purchase. Since you also own 2 Rivians as well, I wonder if their systems are coded incorrectly.

Any other 2 Rivian owners out there have the same issue with being skipped?

Guessing you'll be in the next wave of shipments. My Mar 22 R1T got skipped, but I got a shipment when other folks with Mar 23 deliveries got theirs, likely for my Mar 23 R1S.

Have no idea why Rivian refused to look into this problem at all on a deeper level, because it's obvious here I wasn't alone in this.

Just received my 'ready to ship' email. One down, one more to go. Rivian told me I will be getting one adapter per R1 ?

Sorry if this has been addressed already. Has anyone recently picked up a Rivian and been given the adapter then and there, or received an opt in email after a recent pick up? Thanks!

Picked up my Gen 2 last week and they just mentioned that it’ll be coming later.

No mention of an opt-in email though.

Any Gen 2 owners get an opt-in email? Or should I just contact Rivian through chat?

Incentivizing people to buy. From that perspective it is not wierd. From a 'fairness' perspective, a little weird.

Maybe it’d help us that get leapfrogged to receive some credits… this is definitely not fair.

My SC says they'll start shipping with shop vehicles being purchased now, but mine will be shipped in a week after delivery since I ordered a week ago.

I took delivery 2 weeks ago and inquired today with customer service and was told I should have my adapter within 30 days of delivery so crossing my fingers that happens which would be early October...I have not received any emails yet so that is why I reached out today.

Oh wow that’s quicker than I would’ve imagined! I’ll reach out to them now and see what they tell me.
