We tow a 27' Sonic, about 5500 lbs. fully loaded. After three trips avg 1.3-1.4 kwh. I love the way it tows, better than any previous vehicles we've used. No surprise, wind is the biggest range killer! I'd like more range, but our charging stops have been enjoyably breaks!

We have two new Linear garage door openers which are incomaptible with the Rivian software. I spent 45 minutes on the phone with their service guy to no avail. Too bad they didn't just use HomeLink like most other car companies do; it's pretty bullet proof. I appreciate Rivians efforts to...
I totally agree. Rivian has assured us their vehicles are bi-directional compliant, but where is the hardware? My R1S is supposed to arrive by year's end so I have emailed every V2h/V2V/V2G manufacturer to get info, pricing, etc. No one has responded. My garage is 240 wired from a prior vehicle...
