We won’t be getting our R1T until late 2022 (max pack) but since this is our first pickup truck and first time off roading, any advice so we can prepare? We will be getting the Truck with the tent and kitchen and plan to use it to continue to explore the desert southwest (we live in St. George...

I am also wondering if there are parts shortages other than batteries that constrain production, maybe they ship some max packs ahead of the current plan due to the higher price of those vehicles. I know that Tesla prioritizes Plaid deliveries over Long range cars. As a maxpack reservation...

What this charging curve info says to me is that either the DC version of the Adventure Network or a ton of very remote destination chargers will be critical for those of us that want to go off the beaten path away from highways and walmarts. Here is the plugshare map of southern Utah with the...

Unfortunately yes with our 2014 Tesla model S - unfortunately it got MUCH worse, not better ;-(

thanks - that is helpful.

I am wondering if I will be able to access the bed via the manual tonneau cover when the roof top tent is mounted above it. I really hate buying the powered tonneau (cost and additional complexity) but realizing that maybe the only way I can easily access items in the bed. Also Is there any...

Own a 2021 Tesla model S which we will be keeping as our cross country driving car (summers in Vermont and winters in southern Utah). R1T will hopefully replace our VW Touareg TDI as our Utah camping/adventuring vehicle. As a Tesla owner I am really only concerned about the buildout of...

Ironically they could solve one of the issues for some Max pack customers like me if they immediately started installing tons of DC fast chargers. That would make owning a largepack truck more usable for those of us going off the beaten path. In some ways it makes more sense for their focus on...

Disappointed but not surprised if batteries are a gating item which seems likely given the number of EV’s announced and shipping soon. I debated changing to large pack but used A Better Route Planner to look @ the difference between the two on a typical camping/hiking trip we might do from St...

If they are like traditional car companies, they will wait for model year change overs. If they are like Tesla they will do lots of small running changes between now and then. My guess is they will operate more like Tesla - especially as the supply chain issues ease up. Who know how big those...

Well - Maxpack, Explore config means our truck won’t be in our hands until end of 2023. Bummer but really want the range for camping.

tow charging?

Ironically that is “Waits”field Vermont ;-)

sorry - I sort of bundled the spare, camp kitchen/tent into #2 instead of breaking it into three.

I originally wanted the R1S for the rear area for our lab. Three issues steered us to the T for now. 1) max pack is a requirement for us and is still an unknown for the S. 2) we want to use is for remote camping so having the full size spare, tent and camp kitchen were critical. My wife refers...

Does anyone have a sense of how much having the tent on the bed will impact range of the R1T? I read somewhere that a roof top tent could cause a mpg reduction of 17% in an ICE card but hoping it is less when mounted low like Rivian is showing. I thought the Motortrend cross country articles...

As a Tesla owner and a Rivian reservation holder I really appreciate your post and confidence in EA/CCS charging. Since we do a lot of long road trips, fast charging is an important unknown for us. Thanks for sharing your experience!
