I'll go for a longer drive this weekend and see if it's still dry. The second visit where they added butyl tape helped to fix my issue.

If road tripping is the goal, get a BMW. What's really disappointing is that Rivian played games with EPA range.

MountainBikeDude reacted to Indy avocado's post in the thread R2 vs Model Y 70-MPH Highway Range Test (by Out of Spec) with Love.
Using Bjorn Nylands 120km/hr (74.5mph) test, I have the iX3 at 2.9mi/kWh and 317mi of range. I think that more or less agrees with the...

MountainBikeDude replied to the thread R2 vs Model Y 70-MPH Highway Range Test (by Out of Spec).No denying the iX is the better range vehicle, just tossing it in as a comparison between EPA range figures and reality.

MountainBikeDude replied to the thread R2 vs Model Y 70-MPH Highway Range Test (by Out of Spec).For those comparing to the new IX3, it fell short on range tests as well by about 86 miles at 110km/hr (68mph). So goes back to...
