We did. I haven't done the full video yet but the Rivian did great. Need to pick your lines well but it did well for sure...

On my last tab400, I installed a soft start on the ac unit and ran it with an 1800 watt generator. I think the r1t is rated at 1500. I bet it would work. But canāt be terribly sure. It would be a good test.
Actually itās worse than useless. Itās damaging. Any non-geek who just wants to hop in their truck and go camping and trusts what the truck is telling them is going to end up stranded and be featured in a Fox News hit piece on why EVs suck. I can see the headline now⦠100k EV truck strands a...
āAgreed it was useless. And so was the estimate on nav. Off of the video I told Andy that the polish on the software is much more android and much less iPhone.
Oh no. I hope I didnāt come off as upset. I love the questions. Especially the ones that make me think.
And agree. But note that our calculation showed that the mi/kWh was largely correct. The calculations for how far you could go was WILDLY incorrect as it pretty much stuck with 2 mi/kWh. The...
Thats what I am seeing as well when looking at the results from others. Basically towing with anything that blocks the wind independent of weight gets you about 1mi/kWh. Weight may make little difference. Length may make little difference.
Key variables:
- how much wind do you block
- speed
-...
Apples to apples is tough in this situation given the huge number of variables. Please correct me if I am wrong since itās been a hot minute since I saw their videos, but on their long trips I believe they are going significantly slower than 65. Usually 55 and⦠according to them⦠10 miles an...
Yeah. The lack of a fast charger in Moab is an issue. We charged at the amazing Under Canvas resort which has l2 rivian chargers.
And yeah, Iād love to get together when we get over there. Feel free to ping me when you head east.
Just got done. The range test video will post tomorrow morning on this channel. It's a new channel so would really appreciate your feedback and a sub if you are interested. Both help me to get the word out and get better at this...

We did a range test tonight towing a Tab400 from nuCamp. Iāll put the video together and get results calculated over the next few days⦠Any guesses?
Of course posting might be difficult since weāll be on a 3 day overlanding trip in Southern and central Colorado ?
update:
The infra to get to Moab was fine. Weāre from Denver so it was just a charge midway and a topoff charge in Grand Junction so heād be pretty full when we got there.
I know some people stayed at the many hotels with L2s so they would have a full charge when they wake up everyday. Our condo had a dryer off the garage but my son didnāt have that adapter. So we had 3 vehicles so we would just take it to under canvas when we werenāt wheeling and let it sit there.
Yeah, Iāve done totw a couple of times before. I told my son it would do fine. Might have to stack a rock here and thereā¦
Even the distance from Moab wouldnt be too bad.. However charging in Moab is poopy at best. Rivian has L2s at under canvas who were nice enough to let us use them despite...
