  1. Towing my Airstream w/ R1T from Bend to Port Angeles -- efficiency numbers & experience vs Ram 1500

    Yeah, it's nice Rivian figured out that pickup trucks might actually be used to tow things. :)
  2. Towing my Airstream w/ R1T from Bend to Port Angeles -- efficiency numbers & experience vs Ram 1500

    I agree, the designated pull thru does look a little too short, but I would have used it if the parking lot wasn’t empty enough to park where I did.
  3. Towing my Airstream w/ R1T from Bend to Port Angeles -- efficiency numbers & experience vs Ram 1500

    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.
  4. Towing my Airstream w/ R1T from Bend to Port Angeles -- efficiency numbers & experience vs Ram 1500

    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...
  5. Towing my Airstream w/ R1T from Bend to Port Angeles -- efficiency numbers & experience vs Ram 1500

    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...
  6. Nokian 20" All Season Tires (One HT) - Thoughts?

    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.
  7. Nokian 20" All Season Tires (One HT) - Thoughts?

    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...
  8. Not thrilled with censorship on this site

    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.
  9. Windshield Replacement Hassle

    I’d like to think its not a mass market brand, yet. :)
  10. Nokian 20" All Season Tires (One HT) - Thoughts?

    I just got back into town over the weekend. I intend to retrace my previous route and post those results. Maybe Thu.
  11. NEMA 5-20 option?

    Your electric utility may be subpar. My voltage rarely drops below 120v.
  12. NEMA 5-20 option?

    Or study this excellent website to build your own: Homemade Adapters. :)
  13. Not looking too good for continued operations beyond 2025

    +1 Clear case of argumentum ad hominem: attack the person when you have no substance with which to attack the argument.
  14. AWAAK! (Apple Watch as a key)

    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.
  15. AWAAK! (Apple Watch as a key)

    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.
  16. Nokian 20" All Season Tires (One HT) - Thoughts?

    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.
  17. Regen Brakes Auto Disable on steep road?

    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...
  18. Nokian 20" All Season Tires (One HT) - Thoughts?

    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...
