Which magsafe charger would you get?

[shandel]

Both are good products, so you can’t go wrong. I own and have tried both but prefer the look of the StowNCharge. Personal preference.

Really just boils down to your needs and preference. I chose the s00nish because I put my sunglasses in the bowl, or wallet, or anything I need quick access to, so a cover isn't going to help me. Anything I want to hide is generally larger than the bowl. Also, the topo map of Mount Rainier is really subtle and cool.

Vote for the s00nish. Had the original and upgraded to the new version. Had a little figment issues and they immediately sent out a replacement which fits perfectly.

I’m using official MagSafe pucks and the hold is super strong.

I'm still trying to figure out how Rivian missed the mark on the iPhone camera bubble, which is making it incompatible.

So between getting one of these MagSafe chargers for my r1s has anyone use both of them?

Since RJ/Rivian implied retrofit but has yet to make good or even provide further info since 11 months ago... I've given up waiting but undecided between recently announced EV Sportline mount and s00nish's. The latter is almost stock in look and functionality. The former provides easy viewing at a glance, but comparatively a little less unsightly. As with everything... tradeoffs, and which is more acceptable to me? hard to call this one.

I've had several iterations of the s00nish charger... this latest one is pretty phenomenal. Plus, you can get a custom topo top!

Here is my design:

Works perfectly!

I’m on the waiting list for StowNCharge. Looks like my turn will come up in April.

I decided on it because I like the idea of the drawer. Tough choice though as the wood topo map on the s00nish looks really cool.

Received my StowNCharge this week and just installed it. I was happy to find that a tin of Altoids fits nicely in the storage drawer. Now I'm all set for convenient and reliable access to wireless charging and curiously strong mints.

Have a look at ours -

it's dash mounted - not center console....

Made from cnc-cut and formed aluminum (not plastic, not 3d printed)
As rigid as you can get!
actually bolts-on (no tape, no clips, no glue)
includes power wire to tap into fuse panel

I am considering the Soonish charger because it has a larger flat surface than the others. Does anyone know how difficult it is to remove the Soonish so I can return it to stock if needed (truck is leased)? I like that the Stowncharge includes a removal tool.

Their newest one is really slick. It just snaps in, and should snap back out in a similar fashion to the stock charger. (little tabs up front)

I personally like the stowncharge.

I have the StowNCharge in my R1T and it works well (a big improvement for charging two phones).

I've tried just about all of them and I've settled on the StowNCharge. It''s the best of the bunch in my opinion, however it is not without faults...

It's very well designed, modeled, and printed... but ultimately, it is 3D printed. The sliding door isn't as solid as I would like and can almost flex out of its track when you are opening and closing. Mine doesn't rattle, but I worry about that as well.

I think it's overpriced by about $75... maybe $100... But I would still probably buy it again. I am very tempted to re-engineer the sliding lid with aluminum.

That all being said, it works well... Charging is great and the additional storage is great.

Thanks for this info, very good to know.
