Thanks Bob. I was using Degrees Decimal Minutes because that's how the race and my two Garmins are now formatted. I converted everything to Decimal Degrees and it works perfectly. Crazy to think how easy life could be with uniform standards :rolleyes:. I appreciate the help.

Thanks Steve. It might work. I had no idea I could even do that :)

My youngest son, nephew and I are getting ready to participate in a 206mile mountain bike race in Michigan's Upper Peninsula. It is extremely rural and there is no race sponsored aid along the way. My wife is going to meet us a couple of times along the route in the Riv for resupply (and...

I'm an '18 reservation holder and have been patiently waiting for my R1T while watching my old Silverado get older and older. Last night, my wife was out of state trailering her horses to a show when the passenger side ball joint failed on the expressway. Thankfully, she and horses escaped...

I wanted to run a little further with this exercise. More back of the napkin math and random thoughts... Our local utility purchases all of the power it distributes so the numbers for Michigan from the Alternative Fuels Data Center match relatively closely. We have a slightly higher...

I just sat down and did the back of the napkin math comparing the cradle to grave CO2 emissions of a Max Pack R1T to a 3.0L turbo diesel Silverado as demonstrated in the video: R1T: 10 tonnes to produce + 10.8 tonnes to produce battery (low estimate)+ 3.41 tonnes/year to drive 14,000miles using...

Thank you for all of the replies. It gives me something to chew on. I have a December '18 reservation for a Max Pack and have been meaning to keep my old Silverado as the back up for the long hauls but it has become increasingly unreliable over the last 6 months. I've had to have it towed 3...

My wife's passion is her horses. She eats, sleeps, dreams and spends most of our money on them. I'm comfortable transitioning to an EV with most of the trailering that we do. It is in the summer months and under 150 miles one way. There is usually a several day stop where the horses and...

I don't mind the wait (I know they're trying to fix the bugs) but am not sure I can wait much longer. I have an early December '18 reservation with the Max pack. Through the years my old Silverado has become a very old unreliable one. I'm currently waiting for it to be towed to the mechanic for...

I understand the delays and am okay waiting but as a December ‘18 reservation holder it will be almost 5 years before I get mine. My old Silverado has become an unreliable one over the last 3+ years and I’m not sure I can nurse it along another 2. It may make the decision for me to move on. We...

I'm holding out for a Max pack so will probably be waiting for another year. Hopefully they will hold something in Michigan by then. I'd like to at least see one in person before I make the plunge. I can't believe the R1 is 7" wider than the Canyon. They look almost the same size in the...

Doug -- What's your impression of the size difference between your Canyon and the Rivian? I've never had the chance to see an R1 in person but was always under the impression it was somewhere in-between a Ranger and an F150. Here it looks almost identical in size to your Canyon. I've been...

It looks like they are able to charge without having to disconnect the trailer in about half the times they stop. I don’t have much experience with DCFCers. The few that I have seen are in the far corner of a large parking lot where this seems pretty feasible. What is the collective wisdom of...

This is disappointing but I’d like more than one data point. I need at least 1200W/mi pulling a two horse trailer to make it to my closest charger. I hope more of this real world data starts creeping in soon.

We’re undecided. My current ride is an old Silverado that has left us stranded twice since the summer (both times with horses in the trailer behind us). I’ve ABRPed every trip over the last three years and we just couldn’t make it in the smaller pack with the trailer. We have to wait for the...

I thought I was the only one in northern Michigan (Alpena) waiting. We were invited to one of the first events to see a Rivian and climb with Alex Honnold at Planet Rock downstate in January '19. It was short notice and didn't go. Big regret. I'm starting to get desperate though and would...

Thanks for the intel. It’s the only thing that makes sense.

Is there enough room for a bike to be mounted in the bed on the crossbars? Every picture I’ve seen so far show the bikes up on the roof? Why is there only an option to purchase one kayak rack? I have a Thule and an old Silverado right now and can get three kayaks and a paddle board on it.

We're in northern Michigan and charging stations are pretty sparse and probably will be for the foreseeable future. The closest is 138miles from our home and the closest horse show is 10 miles further down the road. My wife has traveled as far as Texas trailering them. Of course I'm holding...

Bill, My wife rides and shows most of the warm weekends of the year. What are your plans for charging with horses in the trailer? It's my one and only really, really big worry about the Rivian or any EV truck for that matter. I feel like the trailer is most likely going to have to be detached...
