I am looking at a new vehicle with max battery. Want 20" rims for smoothness over rough pavement and smoother ride. But don't want 20" AT tires due to noise and especially range hit. So you are saying that Pirelli and Nitto Grappler are available in 275/65R20 and are all seasons and not all...

These tires do not seem to be available in the R1T size. Nor is there any all season in this size on the tire rack site.

Whoa-I am glad I read this thread. Was just about to pull trigger on a new Rivian. However some type of good driver assist feature is a requirement for me. I use it on all freeway drives with my bmw iX and Tesla model y. Probably will pass on the Rivian if the driver assist is not as good as a...

Funny one. Assuming this is not a photoshop, have you successfully charged with this generator which is not an inverter gen set?

I know a bit off topic but Rivian support says that I cannot configure a new R1T until the fall when the configurator will open back up. I have to choose from existing vehicles until then. Seems flaky.

Thanks for all the great information and perspectives. I researched the latest and greatest low weight inverter generators and it seems I could put two in parallel and get 6.4 kw at 240 volt continuous. 5 hours during sleep time would then get me ~75 miles extra range. Is it overkill/paranoid...

kind of my plan too without the Airstream. My buddy has the same Duramax with lots of extra diesel. We would caravan and find some lodging.

Here, 3 days before the storm hits, you are hours on line to get gas if it is even available. On the road MAYBE gas is easier to get than electric but if electric is out gas station has to have backup generators to run their pumps and tanker resupply. I think I am speculating on all this and we...

I see your point of view. Looking also at a lifted GMC Diesel 1500 but my heart is with the Rivian (-:

Yes, used to live in a condo so had to leave due to power loss. I am now 1/3 mile west of the intracoastal, so not on the beach, not in a flood zone but certainly in an evacuation zone with a nearby storm.

Yup, getting out early means either EV or ICE will work. The problem with early is that there will be many false positives (i.e. evac when no real need to do so). So I am really concerned about leaving "late" and how far can I get.

Thanks for the input. Wow. That range would be amazing if that's what I could get at low speeds. As to returning home, I am in the "power business" and built a new house with solar panels and Tesla power walls that can provide plenty of extra power for vehicle charging as well as a natural...

I currently live in south Florida and own two EVs, BMW iX and Tesla model Y. Also have solar with good battery/natural gas-generator backup so can be my own "gas station" for EVs indefinitely during a grid outage. However, with a possible direct hurricane hit requiring an evacuation, neither...
