I don't have the tent handy for real measurements but there's essentially no taper in the Condor Overland - the only narrow point that will give you trouble is the center bracket where the tent's support poles are mounted. The Camp Dreamer I mentioned is 55" wide the whole length and fits just...

FWIW my longest skis juuuust fit in the bed diagonally (Armada Tracer 188s). It's close enough that when I added the BuiltRight molle panel I ruined it for myself, lol. I can still fit them but it flexes the tips a bit which I don't love. I just leave my slightly shorter all-mountains in the...

I think pre-march pricing is safe. If I had a post-march undelivered reservation I'd be quite nervous.

I'm glad this worked out, but it wasn't a good idea.

The short answer is "barely." Small differences to aero (roof mounted cargo, bike racks, etc.) will nuke your range; big swings to weight will be mostly imperceptible, within 10% or so of rated even at max payload. The significant exception is wheels, which have a rotational component and are...

Wow, great outcome, and you got to pocket the remaining $16,500 from your insurance! (?)

Would be really interesting to see a passenger variant of this for things like airport/corporate shuttles etc. It would probably have to be a new body design, but given the platform flexibility I wonder if it's a market worth looking at.

A few favorites...

FWIW I'd expect pretty decent range with basecamp - I'm guessing 30-40% hit. I rented a Basecamp 16 last year and towed for a week with my Model Y and consistently saw better than 50% rated range (in a car that rarely gets better than 80% rated range with no trailer...). I'd expect the marginal...

FWIW this isn't consistent with what I've heard from other vendors (like GFC) that I've talked to about building Rivian solutions. Rivian's crossbar mounts are super clever but also a unique mechanism, whereas bed rail clamps or similar mechanisms are extremely common, well understood, and...

I think it's a bit more sinister than that. They want to undermine the growing consensus around the CCS standard and charging network interop. If a major manufacturer caves and adopts NACS, it will be a huge setback to non-Tesla EVs - fragmenting investment in infrastructure, disrupting the...

I agree that this probably doesn't meet the value threshold for me, especially with currently available info (e.g. - more info on mounting, are cab and bed racks even for e.g. mounting longer cargo like a RTT, etc.). But, I would encourage folks not to attribute this to greed on the part of...

+1 for this one, it's compact enough to keep in the frunk net and works great for L1/L2 charging.

I bought two sets of AutoSocks for the Rivian and I haven't used them in this vehicle, but they've performed well on my Tesla and in the US they are usually legally acceptable anywhere chains are required. They're not cheap but very compact - I keep them in the sub-frunk all winter for...

I suspect that asking for a manual cover that retracts into the same spot as the powered cover is a lost cause. The reason the powered cover is so tricky and keeps jamming is a direct function of the extremely high packaging efficiency and the fact that it needs to be nearly perfectly aligned on...

I've noticed the taillights flash and you can often hear a little "thunk" as the car wakes up when you get close enough for the key to handshake with the truck. My experience is that no inputs work until that handshake happens. It's not the vague "maybe I'm close neough for the radios to hear...

FWIW I think the Rivian's badging is pretty tactful and since it's a brand most people haven't heard of, it makes the inevitable "what is that!??!" conversations easier (which are fun at first, but get tiring over time, especially when you have to spell out Rivian because you debadged your...

Yes, they are - but it's also pretty realistic (adjusted for tire choice) in All Purpose mode as well. Just not at 75mph on the highway - EPA test cycles don't go much over 60 and wind drag gets exponentially worse at higher speeds. To my (layperson, not an expert) knowledge Tesla can't do...

The 12v in the frunk here is only powered when the main pack is energized and topping off the 12v batteries, so there's not risk of draining the 12v batteries here. The downside is you also need to keep the truck powered (e.g. via camp mode) to keep the fridge cool, or add a buffer battery...
