Rivian NACS Adapters begin arriving!

Shockingly heavy. Didn’t someone post a carrying case for it somewhere? Search has failed me.

As a data point for those tracking....I received the second email from Rivian to confirm my address about 2 weeks ago, and a tracking notification from UPS yesterday. If you are impatient (like me), after confirming your address you can keep logging into your Rivian account online and eventually will see the adapter in your "orders" before they ship it.
My NACS adapter is expected to arrive early next week. Feb 2023 R1T delivery.

Probably not the right place for this question but……I am a May 2022 R1T LE delivery with VIN 32XX. Opted in for NACS adapter months ago and nothing since. I see that 12/22 deliveries are now receiving theirs. Rivian has no answers and is no help. All they will say is “you will get it when it is your turn”. Any suggestions?

Send a note to RJ, worked for me.

GM has two part numbers for a NACS adapter in their system. Supposedly the second one is the Lectron adapter, but I haven't gone looking for proof of it.

I've also heard that if you can get the Tesla station to initiate a charge with your phone, it'll charge a supported GM vehicle right now. GM just hasn't opened the baked-in capability in their app yet. I plan to see what happens if I initiate through the Rivian app. ?

Yes GM has two suppliers. It appears that the Lectron adapters may get shipped to Bolt owners.

GM Lectron P/N 85806539
GM Tesla P/N 85090442

GM also has the current specification for both adapters:

"Rated Current: 300 Amps @ 35°C (95°F)",
"Boost Current: 500 Amps for 10 minutes"

Which explains why rates are getting throttled when charging in high temperatures.

I have been charging my Hummer at Tesla stations since mid June, but so far it appears they are only open in Michigan and Arizona. The rumor now is Sep 18 for the official opening. But we have seen these rumors before. I have used my Tesla app and my Ford app to charge my Hummer successfully.

Hey look it works! Luckily the place was empty but where is the parking spot for this station supposed to be? The station is in the middle of the line, so both? Short cord for sure but was nbd.

edit: ugh

You are using the charger dedicated to the spot on your left.

Tesla needs to re-stripe those spaces to put the chargers in the middle of the lines then it would reach any vehicle with a charge port on any corner. I was at a newer one striped with the charger in the middle and easily reached the Rivian.

Not an issue when the stations are that open but the SoCal stations are never that open. I should not say never, sometimes between 11 PM and Midnight they are open as the TOU rates change at midnight so after 11pm seems people may wait till midnight for the significant lower rates.

My NACS adapter just showed up in my orders.

For me, I got the ready to ship email on 8/30, confirmed my address the same day.

Order was created on my account on 9/9, just checked a few minutes ago, order is still at shipment pending with a 3-7 day shipping method.

My final update, adapter arrived today. I have the original A2Z that I have used. They both work similar and seem to have the same build quality. The Rivian adapter is easier to attach to the Supercharger than the original A2Z but harder to plug into the vehicle than the A2Z. I’ll use the Rivian one when charging at a Supercharger since it is the approved one but will hang onto the A2Z as a backup just in case.

Timing once Ingot the Ready to Ship Email

I have both and the Rivian adapter seems harder to release from the charger handle compared to the A2Z. Seems like it will be easier to drop trying to remove it from the Tesla charge handle. Think I will stick with the A2Z adapter.

Where do you live? I'll keep an eye on your mailbox. (j/k).

Approx
what ViN # ?

I just checked my Order History and found my adapter order #245131385 that was entered on 09/13. We got the address confirmation email on 09/10. Our delivery was April, 2023.

It looks like they are really starting to move along on getting these adapters out.

Jan 6, 2023 R1T delivery, VIN 1596X, got my NACS adapter today!

I finally got my address confirmation email. Confirming my suspicions that someone screwed things up for multi-rivian owners.

Maybe by the time mine comes, GM's access will become official.

Hmm, just one adapter listed in the shipment. Not what I expected. Guess the CS people were blowing smoke.
