Nope, I just carry a puncture repair kit but, in the interest of full disclosure, I don’t do any serious off-roading. When I’m on a road trip my vehicle is fully packed so if I don’t have room for a full-sized spare then I don’t have room for a full-sized flat either.

Just upgraded to 2026.15.0 on my ‘23 Gen 1 DM R1T but I don’t remember ever experiencing what you describe. I have experienced the ‘klunk’ when accelerating and I’m hoping that goes away with this new release.

It will soon be wildfire smoke season here, is this a HEPA filter?

The Violent Femmes had the perfect response in Kiss Off: [Verse 2] I hope you know that this will go down on your permanent record Oh, yeah? Well, don't get so distressed Did I happen to mention that I'm impressed?

Interesting. In stop & go traffic (or in the mountains) I would expect the heavier trailer to have lower efficiency but at freeway speeds I would expect the box trailer to have lower efficiency.

I agree with 3 of the 4 but I’ve found that elevation makes a huge difference. We routinely tow our 28’ AS over the Cascades and climbing drops our mi/kWh to 0.5 while, of course, we gain range coming back down but nowhere near enough to offset the energy used climbing.

I beg to differ. I use my 2023 R1T to drag my 28’ AS up and down the west coast with a range somewhere between 120-160 miles depending on the terrain. During these extended road trips the most important factor, for me, is the number of trailer-friendly SuperCharger’s. My wife & I like to stop...

Yep, I’ve been running these for 2 years now and I love ‘em.

Mine gets choppy as well when streaming from a cell signal. The only place I can reliably reproduce it is when I use the truck to open my garage door.

We’re just doing our part to keep the economy humming. 😊

We just finished up our annual pilgrimage from Bend to the wine countries of Temecula and Paso Robles with our 23 R1T DM and C3X. A trip of just over 2,000 miles towing our AS, with the great majority on I-5 and the 101. It’s still my opinion that the C3X is far superior to Rivian’s current...

The Mercury Breezeway was famous for trying to kill us.

As in life, there are few absolutes when towing a trailer. When I’m towing my AS on a flat freeway @ 75mph, emptying the water tanks makes no noticeable dfference in range but dropping to 55mph makes a huge difference. When towing up to my campground with a 4000’ elevation change on a curvy...

Sorry, I lost sight of the fact you have an R1S. I quoted the OEM size for my R1T.

Nope. Both sets are 275/65 so no change was necessary.

I can also vouch for the Nokians. I’ve only compared them to the OEM Pirelli’s so I don’t have exhaustive experience but I really like the One HT.

I like to go straight to the source and use Tesla’s FindUs page. You can filter on NACS partners for any area you like. We towed our 28’ AS across Montana to get to Wisconsin since there are so many more SC’s.

We tow our 28’ AS from Bend to Temecula in winter and Bend to Vancouver Island in summer. I spent a lot of time studying PlugShare and Apple Maps satellite photos to determine which Tesla SuperCharger’s had the room to charge without dropping the trailer. This is a great time saver and well...

Ditto. My wife & I have never felt any difference in the settings.
