Rivian begins NACS adapter shipments

[Jiji]

The first Rivian owners have received their notification of an adapter ready to ship. Would it be incorrect to say that Ford got just one batch of NACS adapters shipped in April to some April and a few lucky May confirmations?

With just a few days left in April to make the April group happy, wondering if they are falling behind on the shipping estimates and leaving some April orders unfulfilled? Sure hope Tesla did let go 10% of the NACS adapter group when they should be ramping up production.

Meanwhile back at the ranch. Bo and Luke were trying to figure out how Boss Hogg had screwed Daisy out of her NACS adapter.

No concern on my part but it does seem like they got some out to meet the April commitment and things have since quieted down. Hopefully they start shipping again or maybe they have been.

I think this is all a lot of speculation about Ford's situation... they could be getting monthly shipments and redistributing for all we know..

I submitted my form last week and the notification says September shipment. Is it really that far behind for ford to send me an adapter? Crazy.

What do you mean by “behind”? If they told you September, you won’t be behind until October.

meaning why is it taking 5+ months to fulfill these adapter orders. Did they not think there would be interest? They know how many people purchased qualifying EVs and a reasonable percentage of those who would claim.

Poor planning.

There are something like 80,000 orders. Why did you wait so long to order? Poor planning.

How dare you question the adapter rollout! Don’t you know it’s FREE! FREE, I said! Yeesh, the nerve.

To get semantic about it, they haven’t yet met their April commitment (says an April reservation holder that has not yet received a shipping notification).

If Tesla is mfg the adapters it explains why they are not on time. Ford probably just repeated what what Telsa told them. Eventually they will get caught up. I am April at 1379 and will post when I hear something from them regarding my shipment.

think you're looking the wrong direction.

So you’re thinking that it shouldn’t take time to manufacture that many adapters? They gave you an estimated ship timeframe. If you think that’s too long, just buy an A2Z and don’t wait for the free one.
