My wife drives a 2021 Tesla Model 3 and I have a Rivian R1T on order. We're moving into a new home in a couple of months, and I want to set the garage up for effective level 2 charging on 60 amp circuits. As I understand it, my options are:

Install a third-party two-cable charger, with a Tesla adapter on the appropriate cable for the Model 3, that will share the electric load between the two vehicles.
Install two Tesla chargers, connected through WiFi for load sharing, with a J1772 adapter on the appropriate cable for the R1T.
Install our single Tesla charger and manually switch the cable between the vehicles as needed, with a J1772 adapter when charging the R1T.

Am I missing any other options? Who is using one of these methods? Pros and Cons? Any insight is appreciated.

I only charge my GV-60 once every 3 days or so.

I installed my EVSE with an eye to have it charge both my R1S (someday) and a Lucid Air (Friday!).

I back in and the port will be forward middle of the garage and the Spousal Unit pulls in head first, so the Lucid will be aft middle. Cable will reach both easily.

Of course the GV-60 has the worst port placement (for my situation). But the cable will still (barely) reach if it is aft and outside (i.e. not the middle).
