Where did you see that? I found this tweet from Rivian that sometime in march they'll see chargers in the car and only after that will they start sending out adapters.
I saw a post on Reddit that said he found it in connected services and that he couldnt reserve it yet. I tried and got #30 so I'd be willing to bet that was the first report.
My assumption is that the update is only for plug and charge. The charger is still validating the VIN through the CCS protocol when plugged in. I guess we will see when someone goes and tries.
I would disagree. Charging involves a handshake between the car and the charger to make sure it's eligible to charge. Ford and Tesla worked together to make this happen, all the adapter does is move pin locations. Other cars would fail the handshake with the charger and fail.
This is not a drill! You can go to your connected services dashboard and reserve yours now.
Looks like the retail price will be $230, forgot to take a screenshot before I rushed to reserve mine.
I think there is a lot of fear mongering, I don’t think you have anything to worry about. Antoine who looks at your coffers would notice that it’s missing the ground pin. There’s being safe and cautious and then there’s bubble boy.
That only fixes the problem of not being able to install an update that the car was able to see. I haven't done my BCEM yet and I got 4.2.3.1 (reinstall), then 6.1 a day later and I woke up to 6.2 this morning.
Because they made a shitty car. Your truck isn’t going to fall apart because you were heavy on the accelerator. People have been taking these to drag strips.
That can't be true, they specifically said Ford was the first company to gain access to the superchargers followed by GM so they can definitely control who uses it still.
