Same issue for me - Gen 1 R1T, new iPhone Air and IOS26, so not sure exactly which component is the culprit but annoying walking up to vehicle and having to open the app - I didn't have this issue previously.

When we first started towing (2 1/2 years ago) we were having to drop the trailer more often to charge, but with Tesla chargers opening up and more locations coming online it's becoming much less frequent. We've gotten familiar with charging stops on routes we've already traveled so know which...

Averaging 1.17 miles/kWh is pretty good. We tow a 25' Airstream Globetrotter (have over 20,000 towing miles thus far) with a 1st Gen R1T and are averaging more like 1.1 keeping speeds at 60'ish. Looks like you have the range wheels and more efficient tires than we do so probably accounts for...

We towed an Airstream Basecamp 20x for about a year, in non windy conditions were getting maybe 1.3 doing 60-65. Switched to a 25' Airstream Globetrotter and efficiency has dropped about 20% down to 1.0 - 1.1 (it's wider and taller) so that is to be expected. 100-125 miles between charging...

OK, thanks for th info. A new Service center recently opened close to us so am going to take it in one more time while still under warranty and see if they are willing to replace anything!

Have you noticed any difference in the Gen1 vs Gen2 suspension? That's really our only complaint with our 2023 Gen1 is the clunking suspension (we've had it in to service and both times deemed the noises are 'normal'). We've tossed around the idea of upgrading to a Gen2 but haven't been able...

LOL!

We're pulling a 25' Airstream Globetrotter (same size and aerodynamic profile as your Tradewind) and have been averaging about 1.1mi/kWH keeping speeds 60-65. Wind is the biggest killer and frequently are adjusting speed to keep efficiency to get to next charger. My biggest wish for the R1T...

Very cool and thank for that information! Am still hoping the trailer profile trip planner feature is also included for those of us that tow regularly!

Can you tell me if the beta update he is running by chance adds the ability to select a trailer towing profile in the Trip Planner in the app (it was supposed to be included in the last software update but was removed for some reason and support has no info on when / if it will be included in a...

We tow a 25' Airstream and generally use standard ride height / firm suspension setting. We've tried towing at low height to see if it made any different in efficiency but (unscientifically) didn't really notice anything different. Since this thread is related to towing, thought I'd shout out...

Yep, speed is the biggest factor reducing range. We just towed a 20' Airstream Basecamp from Nebraska to Florida (1200 miles) and keeping our speed 60-65mpg we averaged 1.26 mi/kWh for the entire trip. Slowing down a couple times as we watched our efficiency carefully allowed us reach the next...

We've got about 7000 miles towing a Basecamp 20x with our R1T and it is a fantastic combo! We're headed out on our longest trip to date in a few weeks to Florida and back (from Omaha, NE). Will put on over 3000 miles towing during this trip. We've been averaging 1.25 - 1.30 mi/kWH with...

Super excited for the new tow mode updates and dynamic towing range accuracy!

It would be GREAT if the rumored updates to tow mode are in this next release. Particularly the range estimates that are ridiculous (and unusable) in the current state!

Looks like a really nice setup you’ve got there! We are using the Rivian travel charger at campgrounds which only pulls a max of 32Amps so haven’t ever had to limit the charge rate (through the truck) when plugged into a 50A campground outlet.

Thanks! So I'll take this opportunity to add some more towing stats to this thread. For this trip, we decided to push our distances between charging stops to minimize the number of stops we wanted to make (realizing we would be charging longer per stop). Trip distance (Omaha to Granby) = 667...

LOL, why yes you did! We were on our way to Granby!

Congratulations on the new Opus, looks like a really cool setup! I'll be curious to see what kind of efficiency you are able to get towing that trailer. We did the overland./ rooftop tent setup for several years and loved being able to go to more remote places, but moving into the RV setup has...

Good information, thanks! To further validate, @allelectricfamily have done towing tests with multiple EV's (R1T, R1S, Lighting, and Hummer EV) towing their 30' Airstream. The towing efficiency / range hit with the Hummer EV was less than the other EV's (presumably) because it is a taller and...
