Your Rivian charge port is on the left, so use the charger on your most right. That's how you fit in without causing a disruption. I learn the hard way with my Lightning. The adapter is very useful. So right charger is always right, that's the way to think about it.

I’d happily take the adapter off your hands and pay for shipping😅 I’m still waiting for mine to get delivered

The information about this (v.1-2 versus v.3-4 superchargers) has been out there for many months. So it should not have been a surprise. Tesla's web site and app will tell you which sites are compatible with CCS vehicles with an adapter. Getting access to Tesla v.3 and v.4 superchargers is much better than not getting access to v.3 and v.4 superchargers--for most of us. For some of us, apparently, this is not the case. So please send me your adapter, and I'll put it to good use.

Alternate title “I don’t know how to use Google and feel like complaining about Tesla charging stations”

I own a Rivian R1T and have an adapter and it works extremely well. Another option is to purchase an at home charger. Wake up every day with a full charge in the convenience of your own home. Upfront costs associated to install this, yes, but worth it.

Got my adapter, knew about the fact not all Tesla superchargers working…Nav system directed me to one that works with adapter and showed how many were available. It did require me taking up two spots, which I knew would be the case. Did not cause an issue for anyone else as the station was not completely full. Perfect…no…does it work?…yes.

Jesus, dude, maybe spend 5 minutes googling BEFORE you leave.

Do you own your Rivian or does your Rivian own you?

Hey Jehu, why don’t invent an extension adapter for hose, that way anyone can park away from the stall, and not be in the way, patent the idea?

I want an R1S but bought Model X instead. The non Tesla charging experience with videos like this scare the B-Jesus out of me. In two weeks I will drive my X from FL to PA without thinking twice about where to charge. 🤪

How do you like the glasses? Are they any good?

Sounds like Jehu should invent a connector that has an extension cable built in. Hint HINT.

Thank You for All that you are doing for our Planet Earth.... Peace.. Shalom.. Salam.. Namaste .. 🙏🏻 😊 ✌ ☮ ❤ 🕊

With the current state of public EV chargers, owning en electric car is painful if you can’t charge at home. But if you have your own dedicated parking spot with at least a 20 amp 240 volt outlet, it easier and cheaper to “fuel” than a petrol powered car. Your adapter may not be very useful right around your house/shop but it will serve you well if you road trip. I’ve stopped at many a Tesla Supercharger on lots of very long road trips, and rarely encounter a station that anywhere near full. Yes, at most superchargers the Rivian will block one stall while using another. And that’s a big problem at a crowded station. But although you ran into a crowded station, and that particular station may often be crowded, the vast majority of Supercharger sites aren’t usually very full.

I live in Halifax, Nova Scotia and the nearest compatible supercharger is in Quebec, 850 km away. On the way there I would pass about 8 incompatible superchargers. Hopefully Tesla will start upgrading some of the old superchargers.

Wait, you're complaining about a feature that was never promised when you purchased your vehicle but was provided for free later on as a perk? Make it make sense. You, out of anyone, should know better.

Side question for you noticed you wearing Video Glasses, a couple of questions about them. What brand are they? When you were looking at the dash of the Rivian was that footage from the Glasses? If so was very good. Finally, does it do anything besides recording like AR?

Good content, showing how this just isn’t working well at this point

😂 your navigation in your Rivian tells you which superchargers are compatible, how many are available, and if an adapter is needed. Your video shows a v3 not a V4 Supercharger. V3 have shorter cables. V4 are longer and the problem of taking up two spots solved.

If other manufacturers want to use the SuperCharger network, they need to standardize where the charge port is on the car or install more than one port.

Ur electronically gifted, move the charge port or build an extension cord and market it!

It seems to me, that Tesla can kill all the other competitors networks by installing new stations with the magic dock so that CCS and NACS can charge seamlessly with its longer cable.

Pain is GOOD, Saving the Planet is Painful 😁

It would work if it had an extension cable in the adapter... is that not something you could hack/make??

Just wait 10 more years then the evs will be less problematic

So, either you just buy a Tesla. Or you need to do some research beforehand. Because the adapter for Tesla charging stations can be a huge advantage.

Are you able to make up your own Tesla extension cord or could you use a extension cord between your car and the adapter that is plugged in at the Tesla cord

Does someone make one of those with a 6-foot cord attached?

This is why I drive a Tesla, Make EV life so much better

Extension cord? 🤔

With the time you spent making this useless video you could have done some research so you fully understand the vehicle you own and the partnership with Tesla. The length of the Tesla cable is not the shortcoming (pun intended) of Rivian. You actually said that you ignored the car telling you that the station you went to was NOT compatible. Owning an EV is not difficult if you use common sense. You are saying the adapter is useless but never used it for what it is intended for... Does it connect to a Tesla Supercharger? Does your car get power? If it does those things, then it is not useless

Within 10 seconds..it’s apparent your clueless

New title: “I bought a Rivian but want to use Tesla infrastructure, and Tesla cars work better on Tesla infrastructure.” Somebody call a waaambulance.

I thought there was gonna be some kind of legit complaint here about build quality or implementation, not just rehashing complaints that have nothing to do with the adaptor itself. I expected better from this channel.

you cant just Back in?

I was in my Prius Prime and the charger was taken so i went to the gas station....

time to look for a hybrid

You could drive a Tesla garbage truck

Boohoo

Be prepared people

Buy gas car :)

This isjust one more reason why I just keep driving my gas and diesel vehicles

Probably should have just bought a Tesla.

Just buy a Tesla.

That sucks big time Gas engines are still better right now

jezzzz wth this is just terrible now i see why everyone going back to hybrids or gas

Honestly, probably going to unfollow you because you're starting to come off as whiney and entitled

This is exactly why I don't believe in EV cars, it's because of stupid issues like this, because the infrastructure is a joke, because cars are insanely overpriced, because of the headache of thinking about your car battery EVERY TIME you want to drive your car.
