A Model S is pretty close to the most aerodynamic load you can possibly tow - i3 will probably be a bit worse. Honeslty I'm a little nuts so I'd probably tow it just for fun, especially if there are pull through chargers on your route. But the smart things to do is just drive the i3 with the...

Yep - This is where it's at for a truck like this. Hoping to see one of those vendors get around to a Rivian fitment. Added advantages of being much more portable, letting you use the truck bed as a truck bed without fully removing the camper, no side/rear overhang, etc. Would pair nicely with...

Super super interested in this one. Is there a website where we can preorder?

The challenge here is that as others have pointed out, with current hardware, the only real way to make sure all wheels actually turn at the same speed would be to use wheel speed sensors and aggressive application of brakes against the motors. That's doable, but sounds really unpleasant and...

[Deleting this - I thought I was closer to the current page than I thought. Ignore me. Not trying to dig up old discussions.]

I have the BrainExploder one and like it. No interference with cameras (which wasn't a functional issue but bothered me with the SnapPlate one), looks great. BuiltRight has a cool CNC steel one that mounts to the same place as the BrainExploder one: Pre-Order: Rivian License Plate Mount |...

I mean... do we? For all we know the winch is still being redesigned and it's just low on the priority list (which, to be fair, it probably should be.)

Yeah, the bar is pretty ugly and non-functional, but at least the lights blind other drivers, too...

I think it's a cutout but looks like it is under the door sill when the doors are closed. I can live with that.

Major portions of this trip are over 70mph and windy, it’s winter, and there’s significant elevation change. That’s a decent number, especially if you’re on 20s. You could significantly boost it (likely to around 2) by limiting use of climate. For comparison my Model 3 Performance got about...

I left a Model Y (and previously a Model 3 Performance) for an R1T. 60,000+ miles between the two of them, now 10,000+ on the R1T. Happy to chat if you have any questions. Tl;dr I'm very happy with the Rivian. I wish the charging network was better but otherwise I miss nothing about Tesla...

Conceptually the same as blinker fluid but usually a bit more expensive since it's rated for the luminosity and higher duty cycles of a headlight.

I feel like threads like this are always worth a reminder that fossil fuels are radically better from an energy density point of view than any battery, even despite the intrinsic inefficiency (thermal loss etc.). I love my EVs and it's easy to want to electrify everything, but for an occasional...

@Josh.Gonzales96, I'm curious, could you share the height from ground to top of your RTT in "Normal" and "Lowest" ride heights? I'm curious if this would fit in my carport with a tent on top... Might be an interesting option for those that want to fit a bigger tent like the full-size Skycamp.

I've switched to fully-keyfob locking because when camping or just hanging out (e.g. gearing up at a trailhead/MTB/ski hill), the perpetual phone lock/unlock dance makes me crazy. My number one feature request for Rivian is a "lock-only" prox key mode. I don't ever want it to unlock when I walk...

Look, I'm not like a math whiz or anything...

I dunno if Rivian recommends anything in particular but I plan a five tire rearward cross (see https://tiregrades.com/tire-maintenance/rotation/rotation-patterns/5-tire-rotation-patterns/). 5 tire rotation is a good idea for if you have a spare for a few reasons: Avoids super uneven tread if...

I'm an influencer! Kim Java look out!

You know, you're at least right that there's a life lesson for me here in who I choose to spend my time engaging with. I'll go ahead and hit ignore on your profile. For what it's worth, I do apologize for "tool," though I'll happily stand by the rest. I do hope you take the time to read and...

Lobbing a hyperbolic topic grenade, insulting anyone who engages with it, and then lacking the seriousness, integrity, or faculties to actually engage on the merits of your convictions does not make you superior. It makes you an intellectually lazy tool. I'm not optimistic that you'll read it...
