A Rivian R1S owner named Vivian Yip (@vivianyipofficial) recently posted a TikTok video showing how she charged her non-Tesla electric vehicle at a Buc-ee’s using a Tesla charging station. Many EV owners think they need to buy their own expensive adapters to use these stations, but Yip’s video shows that some charging kiosks already have the adapter built right in. The feature is called the Magic Dock.
Yip explains the situation clearly: “You wanna see something cool? Well I’m at Buc-ee’s right now because we’re charging our car. And of course we need to stop because you know we’re driving a longer time. So the most common charger that you see out there is Tesla. Even though I drive a Rivian. And don’t give me any comments like I hate Tesla. I just chose Rivian, that’s what I drive … and I want to show you how to charge your Rivian with a Tesla charger.”
