We ordered and installed a Prinsu Rack to use with our iKamper since taking the RTT on/off the OEM crossbars on our sloped driveway was nerve racking, to say the least. With a full roof rack, we don't have to worry about the tent slipping off the crossbars during mounting and slamming into the...
I have a pair of Rivian cargo crossbars for sale. Asking $325 for local pick-up. They have wear due to use. I'm in Westchester County and can meet somewhere in the middle if you're local. Thanks for looking.
On our way back from viewing the eclipse, we witnessed this scene:
There were 7-8 Telsas in line to charge, with another nearby with its emergency blinkers on. 4 of the 8 Superchargers (Magic Docks) were down.
Luckily for our Rivian and an F-150, the adjacent CCS chargers were open for use.
Upsetting report about how invasive insurance companies are with regard to driver data. I wonder if Rivian sells data on "acceleration events." GM obviously does.
TLDR:
Averaged 1.99 mi/kWh over 2,333 miles (round trip) averaging 47 mi/hr with temps from low 30s to high 60s; mostly on All-purpose, but did use conserve to stretch certain legs (although probably wasn't needed ultimately)
Fast charging was smooth -- charged at (1) EVgo in Allentown, PA...
We took back-to-back weekend trips to the Adirondacks.
First weekend: We went to the Hudson Gorge Wilderness area, where we waded in a river by our campsite and paddled the nearby lake. Not counting the cost of food and home charging, the trip cost us a total of $6.05: we CCS charged for...
I've been following this product that just launched on Kickstarter. It uses hoses to connect the vehicle's A/C to a tent. How effective do y'all think it'll be? Might be limited to hookup sites? I got one of the early bird pledges, but might cancel.
Got the chance to take out the R1S for a shakedown trip over the weekend. The goal was to see how much we can take along, even though we didn't use or need some of it. The R1S with the iKamper Skycamp 2.0 capably accommodated 2 adults, 2 young kids, and a dog.
We had the following gear...
Listened to this over the weekend and thought others here may enjoy. Overall, they were very complementary of the R1S and Rivian in general, with the exception of one of the host not liking one-pedal driving. Starts at 29:50:
Sandy Munro takes the R1T to an off-road park. According to Sandy, the R1T outclassed the Jeeps that were there, although Cory says Sandy hasn't regularly off-roaded in 2 decades. Interesting that the R1T was on 21 aeros without the underbody armor.
In the most recent Transport Evolved News, Nikki said that she back from Colorado where she test drove a vehicle -- but it's under embargo for 10 days:
Dollar to donuts that it's Rivian, especially since someone in another thread spotted her photographed with an R1T and a small group of...
