The RAN chargers in Madras and Clackamas are trailer friendly. In Olympia I had to drop the trailer in the mall parking lot — but it was no big deal. In Madras I got a little creative just for fun.
Dry weight is listed at 5868 lbs. We had a nice, leisurely breakfast in Madras and a nice leisurely lunch in Clackamas — about an hour each time. We have the advantage of being retired so even when we drove the Ram we were never in a rush and mealtimes were a good excuse to relax and enjoy the...
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...
Funny, but we’re headed to Port Angeles on Monday. I intend to tow my 27’ Airstream up to Vancouver Island. I’m a touch apprehensive about making it over Mt Hood but I intend to post my travel results.
I finally had a chance to repeat the test drive I did a month ago on my AT+’s, only this time with the Nokian One HT. I drove to my favorite coffee shop in Redmond and then back to Bend for a round trip distance of 26 miles. Both drives were on dry pavement, temps in the low 60’s, negligible...
Not always. Remember Sandy recommended adding a 2nd motor to the power tonneau to prevent the problems we’ve been seeing. He rightly felt Rivian “cheaped out” on the design.
Those statements are way too subjective to be even considered close to factual.
I would love it if some standard arose that would solve this problem but until that happens it simply makes sense for Rivian to appeal to the largest audience possible.
I think you’re making an emotional argument. While Apple has over 22% of the worldwide smart watch market, Garmin has 8% and is falling (Smart Watch Market). It’d be much smarter for Rivian to focus on the larger customer base.
Unfortunately, I was pulled out of town for a few weeks so I haven’t had time to measure range or to take any photos. I’ll post an update when I return. A pic of the Nokians will be a little underwhelming — just a standard highway tire with no fancy side moldings.
This happened to me with the battery warm and SoC at 63%. The message said regen reduced due to high SoC. I punched the emergency flasher to mark the log and then called support and asked them to analyze the log. I was told it was due to the battery overheating as it was being re-charged...
I had Discount Tire install a set of the Nokian One HT 275/65/R20 just this week. It’s too soon to speak to range or efficiency but they are a lot quieter than the Pirelli AT+. Pretty much the equivalent of switching from any snow tire to any summer tire. I like the fact that they are the...
