    R2 using Large Die Castings / Gigacasting - reveals RJ

    I think the criticism from an engineering standpoint is using aluminum on a heavily cyclically loaded structure. Aluminum will eventually fail over time since it has no fatigue limit vs steel.

    R2 using Large Die Castings / Gigacasting - reveals RJ

    It should! The tongue still needs to be able to support what you are towing!

    Mount for the Apex CRS Reel

    Is the mount compatible with the longer hose (32 ft I think) version of the apex reel? If so, will you be offering them as a bundle option with the bracket?

    Rivian just raised RAN pricing 47% over President’s Day weekend 2025

    I don't know where chargers are located in TX, but at least in CO, Oregon, and Washington I have never struggled to get free charging at my destination. There is usually some public works building that has free charging if I can't plug into a friend's house.

    Rivian just raised RAN pricing 47% over President’s Day weekend 2025

    If you can level 2 charge at your destination it almost always still ends up cheaper to drive an EV. Assuming a 22mpg truck equivalent at $4/gall, a home energy rate of 11 cents/kwhr at home, 55 cents at level 3 chargers, a road trip would have to be more than 1200 miles each way to reach cost...

    Do you need to have a flag while in those dunes?

    20" Inch What are your top 3 priorities for replacement tires?

    I love the look of those wheels. I just wish they weren't steel. The aluminum wheel and tire package is heavy enough!

    Dragy and timed runs - post your data here

    Getting the temps into the 80's should get you a good deal more power. Still a reasonable temperature for a battery to be at during at least some portion of the year.

    Dragy and timed runs - post your data here

    Have you tried getting your battery temps up first? You can use the battery preconditioning via routing to a charger to get it toasty or just a deep charge the night prior.

    Gen2 Rivian Atmos audio music review by Digital Trends

    I think this is more an indication of some tracks being mastered in dolby atmos better than others vs anything with apple music or Rivian.

    Best practices for driving in extreme cold

    That definitely sounds like some extenuating circumstances!

    Best practices for driving in extreme cold

    Mine always tries to maintain a min battery temp of 50f. Surprised you actually had full Regen at 36f. I don't get that until I above 60f typically

    New Trip Visualizer on Rivian Website

    It's really inconsistent. Seems to think that the tri max will need less charging time compared to the dual max on a 500 miles trip.

    Motortrend reviews new 2025 R1T Quad Max. $111,700 est price -- "So, It’s Fast. But There’s Way More Here."

    Don't listen to them. Their testing is possibly even worse than car and driver for EV ranges. They aren't even extrapolating the 100% battery range when the test only uses 95% of the battery!
