I love the idea of electric tow assist, but I can’t stand commercial or established campgrounds and almost exclusively take our off-road trailer to campsites on public land usually only accessible by high clearance trailers built for difficult terrain. Pebble looks like it would bottom out on...

500 miles range for an erev where the gas range is 350 doesn’t really translate directly into 250 mile usable range when towing—except for the start of the trip, and unless you fill up both the battery and the gas tank. Think about it. Take off towing with a full tank and full battery with 175...

I would never take 22’s on anything harder than a well cared for fire road, and if I did, I would definitely not air them down at all. The benefit in traction from airing down a low profile tire like these 22’s is negligible if anything. Barely worth it with 20’s. Starts making sense with 18’s...

Yeah, we’ll do state parks if that’s all there is, but not our preferred location. Definitely better than a KOA, but our trailer can easily go for a week off grid, which is what we prefer. Have mapped out many of the routes we’ve taken in the past on plugshare and some of them would just not be...

I want a Rivian so bad, but we prefer to camp in dispersed Forest Service or BLM land and try to avoid parks and commercial campgrounds unless absolutely necessary. I’d have to rely on fast charging, but I’m starting to see how it might work for medium length. It’s the driving cross country...

Nice write-up, and it sounds like towing is fine for relatively short hops like this. I asked about towing a smaller trailer across country and back on Reddit and was unanimously told to forget about it. I would want to do at least 500 miles a day, and I must admit that the thought of adding...

Puleez…..until Rivian can turn people into bits and bytes that can be sent down fiber optic cables, they’ll always be a car company. All the software in the world doesn’t change the economics, costs, and gross margin realities of building an actual physical car that rolls on four wheels. They...

Why does it show range of 222 then with the trailer. 14 times on that drive would have driven me insane.

14 times for a 1,000 mile drive? Yikes. “Only 14 times”? Why so many?

Did you mean you only charged 4 times?

Did you not look at the announcement? Harvester version will have a 150 mile range battery and get another 350 on gas.

There’s no way an R2 is going to tow a fully loaded Pebble Flow. Weights they have given are dry. Add water, gear, food, and passenger payload in the car, and there’s no way. The flow will need an R1 no question.

22’s should never be driven off road. Don’t care what kind of tires. There’s just not enough sidewall. Go to 20’s if that’s where you have to drive.

I’ve had most stocks in my portfolio for ten years or more, but I also dollar cost average into my positions over months and years. I only buy if I intend to sell no sooner than 5 years and this will be no different. No price target as long as I believe they have a future.

If we are having a civics class, Executive orders are limited in power and scope to non legislated items. In other words, Trump can’t issue an Exrcutive order to undo a law that was passed by congress snd signed by a president into law. He also can’t just undo spending legislated in a budget...

Where’s the fun in that. The whole point of online forums is to render garments. Get with the program.

you just hit on a central tenet of our system which Trump is going to try and destroy, which is Congress controls the purse strings and says how money is to be spent. Traditionally, the executive has very limited power to not spend or change how money is spent. Trump is going to challenge that...

Exactly. They’ll make news with outrageous announcements of cuts, fulfilling their purpose for Trump, and then it will all die in congress because even Republicans aren’t so stupid as to cut programs and jobs in their own districts. Trump increased government spending in his first term...

Curious if these are similar at all to the Goodyear Adventure AT’s that get OEM’ed on some other trucks and SUV’s. Had an OEzm pair on my ‘21 Defender, and they were quite nice on-road, but universally hated by the Defender community for poor off road durability. Lots of pinch flats and cuts...

Well, they haven’t been legal here until now, so a revelation to us poor buggers in the US.
