Rivian begins NACS adapter shipments

[4sallypat]

.... UPS etc actually delivering them. The chain of loss is big on this one. Many a place for it to get stalled and go wrong. Plus we go back top Musk's impeccable time line estimates. I figure the April batch could actually be built by Tesla sometime in May. Add 2 to 4 week for each step after that.
For what shoulda been a plain ass drop ship direct from Tesla. But then Tesla would have our addresses and we'd miss out on the Ford provided cute box that'll get tossed.

I thought FEDEX was the carrier being used ?

Rivian has not actually shipped any yet, they sent an email asking for confirmation of a shipping address, within 60 days. It also appears only owners with a VIN<1k got those emails.

Perhaps but it is the start of the process getting NACS adapters into Rivian owners hands, a Rivian 2/29/2024 milestone.

This just came in from Ford.

Due to supply constraints, your complimentary Fast Charging Adapter delivery date has changed. Your updated delivery estimate will soon be reflected on your Order Status page.

We know this is disappointing, and we assure you that we are prioritizing your order to be delivered as soon as possible. Complimentary Fast Charging Adapters will continue to ship in the order reservations were received.

Thank you for your patience and understanding.

I’m waiting for the email “Due to supply chain issues “

Funny you should mention this. I got the "due to supply constraints your delivery date has been changed". Who could have seen this coming?

Same here. The list of disappointments with Fors just gets longer. Once my lease is up seriously considering another EV most certainly not Ford.

This is my first Ford Ever, my last several cars has been Cadillac. At the time I could not justify $70 for the Lyriq. Now things are changing and not in a good way with Ford

once I saw this email, I went ahead and put in an order for a2z. I don’t have faith in Ford getting mine in my hands before end of the summer and I actually plan to be doing some traveling this summer

The lock down is over right? No ships jammed in canals. Now it's Just Musk.

Post covid world still sucks.

Hi Pibbman

The Typhoon adapter?

I think that it's called bad planning. Why wait to start making adapters as you're onboarding knowing that you're going to need hundreds of thousands of those adapters?

Same here, just got my delayed email too. Went to from May to June estimated delivery. Not the end of the world, but between this and feature update timelines like Bluecruise coming and going and their "soon" slogan there isn't much in the way of confidence being instilled. I guess we will see if the BC update arrives or the NACS adapter arrives first.
