josephponline replied to the thread Real-world efficiency stats towing a Lightship AE.1 with a Rivian R1T (Gen1 Quad).To your point, with the R1S your options are currently limited. The Lightship AE.1 Atmos spec with 77kWh is over the rated R1S tow...

How many miles will the trailer continue to assist? Does the trailer accept L3 charging?

Thanks for sharing. With a Quad large R1T, do you think you could realistically get 200 miles between charges?

josephponline replied to the thread Real-world efficiency stats towing a Lightship AE.1 with a Rivian R1T (Gen1 Quad).The TrekDrive only assists between 15 mph and 65 mph or 75 mph. So you are always at some point in any tow, pulling the whole +8000 lbs...
