I've been towing our camper with a Model X for 4 years. While it works great there have been occasions we needed to spend an extra night somewhere in between a big charger gap. I couldn't quite explore Kings Canyon because it took a good chunk of our juice to get there and there isn't any...

We had two EVs and two EVSEs but moved recently. In our new home we just have one NEMA 14-50. I bought a NeoCharge Split Volt to charge both at the same time (or sequentially) but the unit didn’t work. They are sending me a replacement so the jury is still out. With the non operational one I was...

If only... the most recent RAN I've visited is basically downtown Phoenix in a parking structure. Forget charging my R1T while pulling my camper. I agree wholeheartedly with your statement and I wish it were true but I'm just not seeing it happening yet. We have visited many national parks...

We have a Model X and a R1T and sometimes take both vehicles on a road trip. I'm looking forward to getting the adapter so we can charge at the same location. Currently we often end up at different locations so we can't sit and share a meal while both vehicles charge. Yes, we have the CCS...

I was on a tour in Death Valley where you must follow the ranger. Everything was going fine until the ranger stopped and got out to open the gate. FSD decided to go around the stopped cars by crossing the double yellow line. There are situations where FSD needs more knowledge than it can just see.

I left with my shiny new Rivian R1T PDM for my 400 mile journey home and tried "Driver+" as soon as I got on the freeway. It threw a messge "Bad Wheel Alignment, Driver+ unavailable." I turned around at the next offramp and tried it again on the return trip to the service center. It worked fine...

Getting off the highway to go to our house I drive through three roundabouts. I have plenty of opportunity to try. There are lots of them around town too so again, plenty of opportunities. I do find it interesting when it perfectly executes a brand new roundabout that isn’t on the map yet but...

We built a house too and solar was a $24k option. I looked at the system they were going to add and I could get the same system from Tesla for around $9k. We decided against the option. I still haven’t figured the AZ solar out yet. It looks like they charge you based on whatever plan you pick...

We had solar and 3 PWs in San Diego. Electricity was so expensive it made sense. The system paid for itself in 7 years including the PWs. Power here is so cheap I don’t think it pencils out. I’ll wait until I have 6 months of bills to determine if I will add solar. I do plan on adding some...

That is the standard TOU plan. Call and ask for the EV plan. It says you have to prove you have an EV to get the rate but they didn’t ask me to show any proof. The peak 4-7 rate is about 10¢ / kWh higher but you get that cheap super off peak rate year round from 11 pm to 5 am. You don’t get that...

So when you make that run to Prescott -- wave at us. We aren't far off Hwy 89a -- that road you take from Cottonwood to Prescott. We have a Prescott address. If you check out the APS page they don't really mention the EV rate plan at all. Even when you go to the EV Page. It lists programs that...

This BS was the final straw for us as well. We sold our SoCal home and have moved to Arizona. Just about everyone we meet seem to be California refugees. Many of them used to be in law inforcement too. My new neighborhood is chock full of ex police, military, and even a judge. I can't feel...

I have my range display set to show both percent and faux/imaginary miles but the arrival SOC always shows in these fake miles. I end up checking the towing page to see what it thinks I can do and then dividing the stated arrival SOC miles by this number to get my percent I really want to know...

We own both a 2017 X 100D and a 2023 R1T. The ride in the R1T is much smoother than our X, especially on wash board dirt roads. The R1T glides across at 30 MPH. I keep speeds low in the X so our teeth don't rattle out. Maybe that's a difference between an older X and the new ones they sell...

You're supposed to use turn signals in roundabouts? Who knew? Not me. To be fair, when taking roundabouts in our Tesla it is typically driving (FSD) so it handles the signaling.

I had a similar hard left on Driver+ once when I was on a straight road, clear weather day. In my case the road had recently been patched and they hadn’t repainted the lines yet. While my Tesla FSD beta can handle this no problem, my R1T Driver+ does not. I would think when in doubt go straight...

R1T Performance Dual Max Pack here. The max I’ve seen on a RAN has been 209 kw. I started at 15%. This was a one time thing. I typically peak at 198 kw on RAN chargers. I get 203-207 kw peak rates typically on EVgo stations. Since I’m usually pulling a trailer I end up at the end Electrify...

I have the early order pricing so the manual tonneau was $800 (I think). Actually if I could somehow get a working powered tonneau that would be much much preferable.

Bought with R1T I picked up 28 November. So far, crickets. I asked my guide and he said, “they will email you when they ship it.” Absolutely no timeline.

Lifetime is 1.47 miles / kWh. Note 2/3 of the miles are towing and most of that with a trailer that gets 1.3 miles / kWh. I. Think the furthest I’ve towed between charges is 150 miles. That wasn’t full to empty but one time it almost was. Temperature, wind, and rain played a big part because I...
