It’s all about that bass, ‘bout that bass, ‘bout that bass, no treble…

Excellent camp kitchen! Stock, or heomemade? I’ve converted from a van, where I had room for one that slid out, so having to be creative with theR1S. Got the induction and Jackery 3000, and. “Fish cleaning table” that’s my kitchen. Discovered that a 5 gallon water bottle now fits nicely...

On the beach at Pismo towing the Silver Surfer

Not good. I’m thinking the MY with airbnbs and leave the Riv behind. And the Airstream.

So I’m confused. 1. Can I say my trailer is not a trailer, but a rear accessory? I assume that would be dangerous with a real trailer… 2. What if I have a luggage rack with no electrical connection? Do I have the “rear accessory” option available so I can disable backup warnings?

I’d rather a small fridge for that space. That would be worth the $170!

So disagree. The other day, a school crossing guard, standing on the sidewalk at a corner, held up a handheld stop sign. My Tesla stopped. On a recent trip to Mexico, the Tesla stopped reliably at every “alto” sign. A few years ago, this actually was rocket science, but it’s not now. Much...

We were further south on the 101 (Santa Barbara-Paso Robles) with similar experience. Kicked us out of our free UHF multiple times. Of course, when I was hauling my travel trailer, I only got dumb cruise control anyhow…

Me too, please!

My experience towing a 22’ airstream is very similar to yours. About 1.4 m/kwh efficiency, more than I thought, with lots of ups and downs along the California coast from LA to Paso Robles. Regen does some heavy charging on the downhills, since the trailer is actually pushing the truck...

Just used our Blue Ox for the first time on my Gen 2 R1S with Airstream 22’ in tow. Worked great, although I think I might have set it for too much tension at normal truck height. Also had to use their biggest drop setting to get it low enough for the trailer, which has already had a 6” lift...

I’ve been very pleased with our first experience hauling our 22’, 5000 lb airstream. 1.4 up hills, and 1.5 on the flat. It was a 200 mile trip, stopped twice on the recommendation of ABRP, both RAN sites that were relatively trailer friendly, so no need to disconnect. Also, the Rv park in Paso...

No mods on the trailer, except a 6” lift, which I can’t imagine helps much.

I know - we were just talking about that. Thor teased an e-version a while back, but I haven’t seen much more. More than that, I’d like Rivian lane centering and adaptive CC to work in trailer mode!

…but I also think the aerodynamic Airstream helps

Makes me slightly less jealous of those folks getting an R2…

Gen 2 (2026) R1S, dual max. PLESTED with the performance!

For what it’s worth, taking our first trip with our Airstream 22’, nd I’m very I,pressed that I’m getting a consistent 1.5 m/kwh.

Just got back from a trip to Baja in my Model Y. Aside from getting lost at the border crossing, everything went well, and the lone Baja supercharger in Ensenada was never busy (maybe $0.55/kwh is the reason?) Unfortunately, it appears to be Tesla Only, so future plans involving the R1S will be...

Totally agree - lane changing ain’t worth it. Had my MY for a year and the app says I use FSD 98% of the time - happy to pay $100/month, and it keeps getting better. I really hope RJ doesn’t abandon us for the bet-the-company R2 play, so I can have reasonable autonomy on a car that I’m not...
