Of course, but on average, I do get 50% of total range when towing my AS with my X. That’s the average. It will indeed vary depending on weather and road but my point is the Rivian max pack should give us a better starting point than with today’s largest available packs. That’s the 200 miles I’m...

Well, with 400+ miles in the max pack for the R1T and my general experience towing with the model X, I’m hoping for a 50% range loss. This would make your 200 miles a possibility.

Just chatted with Rivian to find out if the Max Pack R1T would have lower payload capacity. They reiterated that the R1T payload is 1,764 lbs and the towing capacity is 11,000 lbs. They added that while they keep making improvements to the vehicles and therefore didn't have final weights for all...

50% yes. You can make that better or worse. Speed is the biggest contributor to range loss when towing. Go slow in mild weather and you can achieve some pretty decent performance.

That's true but I've yet to come across a SuperCharger where I could use that stall without completely blocking passage to folks with my trailer sticking out or tolerate the fear of folks driving into it.

Yes, many times. I've done both. Driving in sideways and blocking stalls (only at superchargers that aren't busy and I standby to move it if required, see photo) as well as unhitching and then charging. Latter is a bit more involved of course but I'm now pretty fast at the manoeuvre. ;-) Tesla...

True that though thye haven’t disclosed a price for that pack.

What‘s not clear to me is if we’ll be able to order right away the Adventure version of the R1T with the largest battery pack on November 16th to secure an early delivery when it becomes available in January.

I agree. Solar is optional on most and included batteries are anemic. Could be much better.

There are a few Tesla SuperChargers that are pull through. Nearly not enough but they exist.

I’ve had to unhitch to charge my X while towing our current 22’ AS a few times. I’ve also been lucky and visited empty SuperChargers where I pulled up sideways and did not have to unhitch (stayed by the rig to move it if needed of course). Mostly though, we charge at the camp site. Even those...

By large you mean width I assume? I’d assume weight and length have equally less impact?

Cool. We'd love to upgrade to the Classic 30' from our Bambi but the 27' Globetrotter is also a strong contender. Pro of the latter is lighter weight which will translate into more range.

In good conditions, i.e. driving 55 mph, flat terrain, light cargo, mild weather, little wind, etc., I tend to do better than 50% and up to 60%. I get 50% or thereabouts outside of these conditions. ;-)

Interesting. So this would mean they have calculated that at 11000 pounds, you loose 50% of range. I assume less the lighter the trailer? If correct, this would be encouraging. If I do rough math based on 50% loss for 11K of trailer, the Classic with some cargo would give me 244 miles of range...

Hey all. New member here. Current owner of a Model X with which I tow an Aistream Bambi 22FB trailer. It's 3900 pounds without cargo and the X can tow up to 5000. Considering the R1T to tow a larger Airstream I'd like to purchase, a Classic 30RB which has a base weight of 7800 pounds. I know the...
