Has anyone in the Bend area installed the Comma 3X hardware? I've been following the install instructions / video and just have no faith that I will be able to plug the multi pin connector back into the AXM. I guess my fingers are just too big & clumsy. Any local help/advice would be greatly...
So, I have a second of wheels for my R1T which allows me to rotate my tires myself. Problem is, this means that one side of each tire is always on the outside as opposed to rotating tires with just one set of wheels where both sides of each tire are run on the outside. Looking for advice on...
Just completed our winter trip towing our 28' AS from Bend to Temecula and back. Instead of a trip report I wanted to list the charging sites we found that are trailer-friendly. This is an 1800 mile round trip and I wanted to minimize the number of times we would have to drop the trailer in...
During long, multi-charging drives, I always set my charge limit to 100%. I don’t often stop long enough to hit 100% but on those occasions when I need a longer stop, it’s nice to avoid having to run out and unplug. And before anyone here complains, I don’t do this at busy chargers.
Anyway...
We spend a lot of time towing our Airstream so we took advantage of Rivian’s recent sale to purchase a 2023 DM w/ Max Pack just to get more range. Bluey has been garaged when we’re not glamping and the majority of her miles have been towing our Airstream.
The power tonneau is the new version...
I recently had the opportunity to test my A2Z Typhoon adapter with Tesla’s V4 SuperCharger in Wilsonville, OR. It was super easy — just plugged in and my R1T started charging — and the best news is that the V4 cable is long enough that you don’t need to take up 2 stalls. I parked in the center...
I have a set of 5 Pirelli Scorpion AT+ (275/65R20) tires which came with my R1T but used only 1 winter. The spare has never been used. Asking $1400 for the set. Located in Bend.
This weekend I towed my 6000 lb Airstream from Bend to Blue River and back. Crossing Santiam Pass on the way to Blue River isn't very exciting since I'm starting at 3623' and Santiam Pass is at 4817' so the elevation change isn't great. But the return trip is interesting since the elevation at...
While visiting Vancouver Island I have the units on my R1T set to metric and after a day of traveling around I viewed the trip odometer to check my efficiency. Since km/kWh doesn’t mean much to me, I went to Settings and changed to Imperial units and then re-viewed my trip odometer. Lo and...
We just finished the 1st half of our trip towing our 28' Airstream to Vancouver Island. Leaving from Bend I admit to some range anxiety traveling from Madras OR (2200 ft) and crossing over Mt Hood (3900 ft) for a climb of 1700 ft. Actually the climb was probably closer to 2500 ft as there is...
Stopped by the RAN Waypoint charger in Cape Lookout State Park and was surprised to see a Tesla Model 3 using the charger. Talked to the owner who was very new to EV’s and thought Rivian was just another charging network and it was working fine for him. I was a little confused over how he...
