    Anyone know where to buy brush guard designed for Rivian (or Bull Bar)

    Iā€™d be interested in any real world reviews / experiences from anyone who has bought this, and run into a deer or similar wildlife. From what Iā€™ve read, brush guards in general wonā€™t save much expense / damage when driving at highway speeds, so the realist in me wouldnā€™t expect any different...

    Traded in Gen1 Quad R1T for Gen2 Dual Max Pack R1T -- Reasons, Review, Photos

    Iā€™ve put ~47k miles on mine in ~18 months, due primarily to 600+ mile roadtrips most weekends. Sharing this in case youā€™re interested. TLDR: Quad Large and Dual Max have same efficiency during side by side highway driving in cool and warm temperatures, and lifetime, which is a mix of city and...

    Dual-Motor Max & Quad-Motor Large Pack have same highway efficiency - my real world test

    And tonight my friend and I drove both vehicles from the Montrose, CO Rivian charger to Denver, but not via I-70 this time ā€¦ via US 50 & Hwy 285, two lane highways going over multiple passes, 65 mph speed limit at most. Same results in that both vehicles delivered the same efficiency, +/- 2.6...

    Real world dual-motor and max-pack reviews missing?

    No. But for what itā€™s worth, I have two R1Sā€™s, a quad with over 30k miles, and Dual Max Pack, which Iā€™ve been driving for 6 months and now has 15k miles. Iā€™ve driven both off road regularly, on some difficult trails in Colorado, and both are very capable. I canā€™t say Iā€™ve noticed a difference...

    Where are the Rivian "adventurers"?

    Went up Corkscrew Gulch by Ouray, then Cinnamon Pass (first ascent of an R1S Dual Motor Max Pack there?), to avoid the US 50 bridge closure and I-70. Such a (comparatively) smooth ride in this vehicle vs my FJ. Roads are more like a creek during the snow melt right now. California and Hurricane...

    Dual-Motor Max & Quad-Motor Large Pack have same highway efficiency - my real world test

    And my case is the opposite of yours, in that I wanted my stock 20s to last as long as possible, so I've had Discount Tire rotate every 5k miles, including the full size spare, and result is that my tires have lasted at least 20k miles (granted, 5, vs. 4), with the vast majority of my miles...

    Dual-Motor Max & Quad-Motor Large Pack have same highway efficiency - my real world test

    Both vehicles were in Standard height, apples to apples. Conserve mode is intended for use at highway speeds, which is the only time I used it. The dual motor also switches to front wheel drive at such speeds. Apples to apples. The 64 mph average or whatnot on both legs of the trip is due to...

    Dual-Motor Max & Quad-Motor Large Pack have same highway efficiency - my real world test

    I always use Conserve on open highway, at highway speeds, dry road conditions. If it's just me in the car, I set the suspension height to Low, as long as I can stand it. The two 200 kw ChargePoint chargers are in downtown Montrose next to the Tesla SuperChargers. As to why, for one, the Crumbl...

    Dual-Motor Max & Quad-Motor Large Pack have same highway efficiency - my real world test

    Benefit of dual motors / max is largely to occur w/ City driving. I have ~5k miles on my 60 day old dual max, but due to a cold Spring in Denver, I don't feel I have enough data to say that matches my real world experience. It's been warmer over the last week, in the 70s, and I've been getting...

    Dual-Motor Max & Quad-Motor Large Pack have same highway efficiency - my real world test

    Yes, that is why I'm torn, as I do a lot of camping, long drives. I just wish Rivian had a model with range like the Chevy EV trucks / SUVs are delivering . . . around 450 actual driven miles.

    Dual-Motor Max & Quad-Motor Large Pack have same highway efficiency - my real world test

    Yes, I paid to charge the other one via the Bluedot physical debit card, so saved 20%, in order to have 2 vehicles charging at the same time, but it took minutes for each to successfully start charging. In Rifle, one of the four ChargePoints (all labeled as 200 kw) was maxing out at a very low...

    Dual-Motor Max & Quad-Motor Large Pack have same highway efficiency - my real world test

    Last weekend, to perform an apples to apples comparison, my friend and I drove both of my R1Sā€™s 300+ miles while staying within sight of each other (prohibiting drafting impact). Results are that the efficiency was exactly the same, at 2 miles/kwh. So, my Max pack should theoretically be able to...
