Here’s some ElectraFi data from one leg of my last road trip, if you’d like to nerd out. See my last reply (to you) for context on vehicle conditions. This segment was basically all up hill, climbing from Willows, CA to Bend, OR — 138’ above sea level over a couple 4000-foot passes to final of...

Load Range E (126). That’s the difference.

Still based on Load Range. My Raptor came stock with LT315/70/17 BFG AT KO2s in Load Range C, which had a max PSI of 45 or 50. The more common replacement is a 35x12.5 17 in Load Range E, which has a max PSI of like 80. Both are LT tires, one in metric and the other flotation size.

They are. What are the 20s?

This is inaccurate. Load Rating determines max PSI for a tire, and how much PSI is required for a given vehicle. An LT tire with Load Range E, like a BFG KO2 will have a much higher max PSI, like 80 or more, and require around 60 PSI on the Rivian ... but the TerrainContacts are on XL rated, and...

I’ve logged three big trips since April on these Contis: two of 3000+ miles and one of 1700 miles. The last one was just done just a couple weeks ago and entirely in All Purpose mode, with some segments in Low ride height. Almost entire Interstate or state highway, with speeds of 75-85 on the...

I have 13k miles on the TerrainContact A/Ts now. Right at 2.0 mi/kWh. More than half of my miles are on the highway (road trips), and at least half of those in Conserve (known to cause accelerated wear on fronts). I recently posted an update on efficiency, wear and noise in another thread (at...

Posted this in a couple other threads, so I’ll repost here in case it helps. … a quick update regarding efficiency with the Continental TerrainContact AT, since I get asked often and just completed another 3k-ish mile road trip. I now have over 11,000 miles on these tires and my lifetime...

Thought I'd share a quick update regarding efficiency with the Continental TerrainContact AT, since I get asked often and just completed another 3k-ish mile road trip. I now have over 11,000 miles on these tires and my lifetime average for the truck is 2.02 mi/kWh (which includes roughly 400...

TFL are a bunch of hacks. How that channel has grown to become what it is is beyond me. I guess for entertainment purposes, there’s an audience ... but God forbid these YouTubers be cited as legit or “experts”.

My R1T always wants my wife’s phone to be the default for phone/media. I disable the three options for her phone, because she rarely drives it, but it always reactivates them (and gives her phone priority). She’ll be on a conference call at home and the truck will take over while it’s in the...

iPhone 15 Pro performance has been so bad, I've reverted to carrying the key fob. iPhone 14 Pro performance was okay, not great, but better than I've seen since moving to the 15 Pro. Can't say if it relates to iOS 17 though, as I'd been running iOS 17 Beta for a few months on the 14 Pro and it...

Yup ... great tire, and a solid light-duty all-terrain alternative to the street/performance/efficiency biased OE P Zeros without any real compromise. Couple recent comments I’ve made on them...

60A dedicated, Rivian charger ... unless I'm on a road trip

Having had toppers on previous trucks, including the Raptor I sold after taking delivery of my Rivian, the biggest challenges I see with a cap designed for the R1T bed are buttons integrated into the bed rails and the aero bits off the back of the cab. Those are definite design constraints, on...

PAAK sucks for me. It was better with the iPhone 14 Pro I just replaced with a 15 Pro, which is notably worse ... but even before, it was hit or miss. If the phone is out, in my hand, it works pretty well. Most of the time I'm not carrying my phone in my hand though, especially if I'm pushing a...

Having recently measured my tires with 8000 of the 8400 miles on my R1T and no rotations to that point, the fronts were worn about 25% and the rears about 20% ... So, based on that, I'd run the pair with more tread up front. Over the next few thousand miles they'll even out and you'll get more...

Just a simple hater, I guess. Thanks for noting the warrant expense info ... no doubt that's empirical data supporting the notion Tesla models, even in 2023, don't suffer quality issues. I'd love to know the source, understand how the data was collected, the number of participants, etc. Let's...

It’s as if I don’t know people who own Teslas … or who have owned multiple Teslas, or both a Tesla and an R1, or being close friends with the owner of a high volume PPF/vinyl shop who see hundreds of Teslas a year (and thus the quality of their assembly). Or that quality issues still plague...

Nice. I ran the 9-light KC Pro Gravity on my Raptor and loved it. The wind noise sucked, but it was worth it. I’d hopped to do something similar on the R1T. Unfortunately, the hit to aero running them all the time would suck (on top of the wind noise). Will follow to see how you handle quick...
