Weekend camping and wheeling turned in to recover mode with no cell coverage and the Toyota stuck in 4lo. Fortunately threw my recovery kit in at the last minute thinking if I have it I won’t need it.

The Rivian towed like a champ. I did move back to quad motors uphill because two struggled to retain traction in the dirt. Other than that range loss was manageable even after wheeling the day prior up to Hull Mountain and cooking all meals on electric surfaces.

The range anxiety has completely vanished after multiple off-road adventures and I have gotten much more comfortable managing the electrics while camping.

Leasing Model 3 until R3X comes out, but now I have an R2 reservation as well.
Looks like a fun time. I like the idea of pulling people out of ditches. I saw this YouTube video where this guy used a Quad to help people whose cars were stuck in the snow.

I can’t wait to car camp in my R2 when I get one next Summer.
