Tesla Owner Calls Police on Rivian Driver Using Supercharger

The encounter between a Rivian driver and uninformed Tesla owner highlights 'a need for better education and communication within the EV community,' the Rivian driver says.

The R1S owner in this case decided not to wait for Rivian to ship him a Supercharger adapter, as the company is sending them in VIN order so he's likely be at the bottom of the list. Ultimately, the Rivian owner's adapter didn't work, so he decided to leave and head to a nearby EVGo charger. My hope is that this discussion can lead to a constructive dialogue about the future of EV charging, especially as more non-Teslas gain access to Superchargers."
