Wow, I had no idea such a thing existed — ordering one today. The things I learn on this forum. :)

Wow, have not heard that yet. We frequent RV parks up and down the West Coast including Canada and have never had a problem. I did have a KOA manager express her concern over how much current I would draw because of the age of their infrastructure. After our discussion she admitted that the...

It would probably add a day (or two) to your trip but you could consider spending a night at an RV park with 50 amp service in between SuperChargers and charge up to 100% overnight.

Nope, I just carry a puncture repair kit but, in the interest of full disclosure, I don’t do any serious off-roading. When I’m on a road trip my vehicle is fully packed so if I don’t have room for a full-sized spare then I don’t have room for a full-sized flat either.

Just upgraded to 2026.15.0 on my ‘23 Gen 1 DM R1T but I don’t remember ever experiencing what you describe. I have experienced the ‘klunk’ when accelerating and I’m hoping that goes away with this new release.

It will soon be wildfire smoke season here, is this a HEPA filter?

The Violent Femmes had the perfect response in Kiss Off: [Verse 2] I hope you know that this will go down on your permanent record Oh, yeah? Well, don't get so distressed Did I happen to mention that I'm impressed?

Interesting. In stop & go traffic (or in the mountains) I would expect the heavier trailer to have lower efficiency but at freeway speeds I would expect the box trailer to have lower efficiency.

I agree with 3 of the 4 but I’ve found that elevation makes a huge difference. We routinely tow our 28’ AS over the Cascades and climbing drops our mi/kWh to 0.5 while, of course, we gain range coming back down but nowhere near enough to offset the energy used climbing.

I beg to differ. I use my 2023 R1T to drag my 28’ AS up and down the west coast with a range somewhere between 120-160 miles depending on the terrain. During these extended road trips the most important factor, for me, is the number of trailer-friendly SuperCharger’s. My wife & I like to stop...

Yep, I’ve been running these for 2 years now and I love ‘em.

Mine gets choppy as well when streaming from a cell signal. The only place I can reliably reproduce it is when I use the truck to open my garage door.

We’re just doing our part to keep the economy humming. 😊

We just finished up our annual pilgrimage from Bend to the wine countries of Temecula and Paso Robles with our 23 R1T DM and C3X. A trip of just over 2,000 miles towing our AS, with the great majority on I-5 and the 101. It’s still my opinion that the C3X is far superior to Rivian’s current...

The Mercury Breezeway was famous for trying to kill us.
