This is what I've been waiting for

Hey, just updated tracker sheet. Does anyone have info or point me in the right direction about home charging these trucks, more specifically rough-in boxs?

Welcome to the forum! You will get many different answers regarding at-home charging, but this is my current setup. I currently have (2) 220volt outlets on separate 50amp circuits installed in my garage. One is for my Tesla and the other is an anticipation of my Rivian(s). I have the Tesla HPWC which gives me between 25-30 miles per hour of charge which is plenty for our daily driving. I suspect similar results once I get the Rivian. I was told by a Rivian employee at one of the in-person events that they plan on furnishing an adapter/travel kit with each vehicle, much like Tesla does. It's a bag of adapters and charging cord so you can charge from just about any type of connection available out there (110v, 220v, J1772). After speaking to a few Tesla owners when I bought mine, I decided to just leave the adapter kit in the vehicle for road trips and permanently install the HPWC in my garage, thus eliminating the chance that I may forget to grab all the pieces before a road trip. I could have bought another travel kit from Tesla, but I had a $500 credit from a referral, so I decided to go all in!

Some people recommend at home charging stations from Chargepoint, etc that allow you to program charging times based on peak/off-peak rates, track usage, etc. Where I live, the rate never changes and tracking my charging usage is not that important to me...especially after the first year or so that I first owned an EV. Nothing much changed in my monthly utility bill, so I figured it was a waste of time to track it. Those in different parts of the country or have solar panels installed might think differently though.

Feel free to ask any more questions!
