Used a Tesla Supercharger with no adapter and no magic dock!

Wow canyon red looks amazing in that picture? first picture i’ve ever seen that makes me wish i hadn’t done a stealth wrap!!

Thanks!!!
We love the color! Depending on the light it looks red or orange.

I assume that the wrap can be removed at a future date!
Love the garage and the floor!

I wish that was my garage! I got the wrap done over at Luxe Automotive in SLC. They’ve got some pretty awesome eye candy!

Can't decide what I like better... the wrapped canyon red or unwrapped canyon red! Best to have both. My R2 will be wrapped canyon red! I guess we will see what colors are available in 2026!

Exactly! i’ll want which ever one i don’t have but they’re both pretty sweet! other than yellow, it’s the color i see the least so at least we’ve got that going for us!

Yeah! I don't think I seen another canyon red in the wild!

I’ve seen two in the history of rivian. one of them shares my commute so i get to admire it every morning!

On behalf of ironman and I, i’d like to formally apologize to OP for hijacking your thread about boring ol’ charging and talking about the best color Rivian sells!

How so? It looks just as bulky as a CCS1 plug. Does it have faster output? How does it compare to China’s standard?

Mostly the CCS2 is an updated design with the ability to handle higher amperage and faster DC charging rates. The pin/plug design is also more robust.

NCAS is just a CCS behind a formerly proprietary plug. This is why we can charge using relatively dumb adapters both ways.

Older Tesla's cannot use CCS though and we're likely different.

The difference is that CCS2 supports 3 phase AC. CCS1 and NACS do not. This is why Tesla was really obliged to switch in the EU. Lot's of houses have 3 phase. The shape matters little.
