Yeah, the Explore is as flat as a pancake, except where it tapers up towards the roofline. The Horizon is curved all the way around, and I think every little bit helps, especially the faster you go.
FYI, the FB group for Intech has a lot of old hands that know the quirks of the different...
I'm planning to take my wife on a camping trip this fall, so I wanted to have a chance to take a test tow with my (new to me) 2023 R1T Dual-Motor Max. That chance popped up this last weekend when I had to drive down to Tomah, Wisconsin from the Minneapolis/St. Paul area. I was towing our 2021...
No, snow is generally not as dense as sand, so lowering your tire pressures won't prevent you from sinking in. A really light vehicle can go over snow - the original VW Beetle could actually go over a snow bank; we had one when I was growing up in South Dakota and the bug could actually slide...
For me, I've found that turning on the climate control before I head out the truck, and everything seems to wake up quickly and proximity unlocking happens. If I do nothing, it will work about 80% of the time, but every once in a while I'll need to unlock it manually, and it won't remember my...
As other have said, I've seen Audi, BMW, Mercedes and Jaguar wheels/suspension damaged or destroyed. Even had a former co-worker severely damage the front wheel on a Mini when they hit a big pot-hole coming off the freeway. Sorry this happened to you.
That Verge looks pretty cool, but the hub-driven rear makes me wonder how hard tire changes will be. Maybe a Chinese company can break the log jam here in the US. With both Energica and Alta out of the game, someone needs to make an electric motorcycle that can CCS charge to 80% a short time...
If they could figure out rapid charging it might be worth it. Unfortunately, the cost plus the time it takes to charge makes electric motorcycles very impractical. I was hoping that someone would come along and replace Energica with a motorcycle that could do CCS charging, but so far that...
It would nice if there was a high-speed charger between Wall SD and Chamberlain. In the past, we've pulled our RV from Minneapolis out to the Black Hills of SD. Since I've switched from ICE to an R1T, I'm eying that trip with a mixture of anticipation and worry.
All kinds of stuff. Mostly people who don't winterize correctly and end up having frozen water somewhere in a system. Unfortunately lots of folks get busy after they get home and forget to do stuff like draining water lines and water heaters. You'll also get the odd person who doesn't flush a...
Tough questions. I'd take the manufacturing dates with a grain of salt - the RV industry is one of the least regulated in the US, so quality is really hit of miss. If you're buying new, purchasing from someone nearby who can do warranty work for you is really a plus. If you're buying used...
We're going from the Minneapolis/St. Paul area down to Wyalusing State Park in Wisconsin - which is near Prairie du Chien in the SW part of the state. We're going to be pulling an InTech Flyer Explore (big sail) with a canoe on top (small, added sail). There's a bank of Tesla chargers in...
Thanks for the comprehensive post. I'm planning to take my R1T on a maiden towing voyage in September, and there's a bit of teeth gnashing going on in the house over the issue of charging. Posts by folks who've 'been there, done that' really help, especially with all the negative info about EV...
I almost think someone could get a Youtube channel out of this, if they had access to a wide variety of trailers and RVs so they could compile the good database. It would really be handy for the prospective RV buyer who also owns and EV, so they could see if the kind of trips they want to take...
You can absolutely charge as needed. My suggestion, given the high price of public CCS charging, would be to find a free or low-cost level 2 charger that you could use to maintain your battery charge. Take a look at grocery stores, public buildings or even parking ramps (if the cost to park in...
