That seems a little extreme. I routinely drive my 2019 Model S between Bend & Jackson Hole in winter and often experience -20ºF temps and the biggest drop I’ve ever seen was ~20%. The mitigating factor is that I always pre-condition the battery before I leave and I use the cabin heat very...

Drive fast - Charge longer allows me more time to spend stretching my legs and going for a walk. I prefer walking to sitting, weather permitting.

When I traded my 2019 MS-75 in for my R1T I was surprised by how much my premiums dropped — almost 25%. Registered in Oregon and covered by State Farm.

What about charging? Were you able to make each leg without charging on the way?

I’ve been using the Curt WD hitch to tow my 30’ Airstream: https://www.curtmfg.com/part/17500

I tow a 30’ Airstream with my RAM 1500 Limited and the difference in towing the Airstream with my R1T is remarkable. I don’t feel comfortable towing with the RAM much above 65 mph because it feels unstable, almost like the trailer is controlling the truck — and, yes I use a weight distribution...

As both a Tesla owner and an R1T owner I‘ve had this exact same thought and I agree the term “theater” is an appropriate description of what’s bound to happen. Now if Tesla offered sometime type of adapter/extension cord for existing SuperCharger’s the problem would be solved.

This is good to hear. I’m also in Bend and suffered a small rock chip a few weeks ago. The first 2 shops I called said Rivian wasn’t in their computer so they couldn’t work on it. The 3rd said they’d give it a try and I made an appt. In the meantime I contacted Rivian and they said they...

https://americacomesalive.com/when-gasoline-powered-cars-were-first-used-where-did-they-get-gasoline/ They probably didn’t think it was necessary in order to sell their vehicles. Originally, small hardware and grocery stores sold gasoline until the oil companies stepped in and started opening...

Snow Mode!!! Turn down the regen, turn down the acceleration (chill mode), and stay in AWD.

Not me. The Tesla network is pretty much everywhere now and it’s reliable — when you plan a charging stop at a Tesla station you can be absolutely certain you’ll be able to charge. The only unknown is if there is a waiting line. EA and the other non-Tesla charging networks are notoriously...

As the owner of a 2021 RAM 1500 Limited I completely agree with your sentiment and your list of pros & cons. I would add one biggie: towing with my R1T. I tow a 30’ Airstream and when I’m towing with the RAM, 65 mph is my top comfortable speed. Above that speed the truck gets a little...

Stopped by Crescent this past weekend and this is what I found:

Still leaning toward Rivian for two reasons. First, it would really be hard for me to endure automobile dealers again. Tesla spoiled me and I just don't see me regressing on that point. Second, the estimated efficiency of the Lightning is bad - 435 Wh/mile - which makes it pretty expensive to...

2019 Model S 75D owner here and have my reservation in for the R1T with MaxPack. Hoping to replace my RAM 1500 which tows my Airstream which is why the MaxPack is a must. Still not certain about towing long distances and having to depend upon the EA network which is getting better, but still a...
