It will charge at 48A with a rate of just over 21 miles of range added per hour. I will get a screen shot the next time I’m charging to show the kW.

But in general it has worked very well for daily/weekly charging needs and sharing between my wife’s Tesla and my Rivian. Thought I would share.

I use a "TeslaTap" to charge my i3 from our Tesla Wall Charger. Never a problem with it, it's super heavy duty and made in the USA. I'll use that when my R1T gets delivered too.

I sometimes use TeslaTap too at Tesla Destination chargers (with my I-Pace).

Mine stopped working. Sent it back. They gave me refund after a year. Tesla updates keep disabling it, likely a deliberate act on Tesla's part which is what Lectron thinks.

if I’m not mistaken the Teslatap and the Lectron 1st gen are both 40A. So a slight increase with this newer version. Anyway… as promised.

Do they lock to the car? I know on my Tesla the adapter will lock to my car so it can't be stolen. Will the R1T do the same?

Thanks!
So this is a Lectron "2nd gen"?
Also, I assume that's a signature HPWC? : )

There’s a hole you can put a small padlock through to lock the adapter to the car. The current TeslaTap Mini (which I like better than the Lectron) also has a place for a 2nd padlock to lock the adapter to the Tesla cable.

Any idea if the Rivian charge port locks the adapter to the car without the padlock?
While feasible with a padlock, it would be a bit of a pain if I was staying at a hotel with a destination charger to pull out a padlock.
