Rivian owners have access to Tesla Chargers now

[rv7pilot]

Rivian owners now have access to Tesla chargers. Looks like they have the software update as well. I still don’t think I have been updated yet. My FordPass app shows that I’m ready for P&C for Tesla but I haven’t seen an update with Tesla in the text in the truck.

Rivian email I received says they’re also going to give owners a free adapter.

Great, now Rivians are going to be clogging up our Tesla chargers.

I haven't received the tesla update yet either, but I've been getting updates in pretty quick succession recently. I think by the time I get the free adapter I'll have the update (and I'm not willing to buy an adapter when I'm going to get a free one anyway)

Helped a Rivian driver while charging at a Tesla Station with a magic dock, helped him understand that you hold the Tesla handle for a few seconds and push to release the adapter. For me was charging about 128 kw and 60% SOC In my extended range.

I tried out my Rivian at a Tesla SC last night with my A2Z adapter. It worked great. Since I had a credit card in my Rivian account/app, plug and charge started, didn’t have to do anything. The Rivian vehicle touchscreen integration is really good too, shows lives stats on how many stall are available at nearby chargers, shows real time costs while charging.

And I still don’t have plug and charge installed in my F150 Lightning yet. It would be a little more convenient but it doesn’t bother me as long as I’m still authorized.

If you charge a lot on Tesla SCs, then you'd want to enroll in their monthly membership program and then you'd have to use their app to get the discounted rate, bypassing plug and charge anyways.
