We took our Dual Max on a 1.5 hr trip (one-way) to make sure everything was working, then went from IL to CO and back just fine for Thanksgiving.
I-80 chargers were all working well, but I'm not sure what route you're going. Shell Recharge seemed to be having a slow-down (70 kw and lower) so...

Nothing scientific to report, but Large Charge Marge, an R1T max dual (not performance) made it from IL to CO just now. We used ABRP to pick the chargers and duration. I had it set for quickest arrival.
Marge does not seem to suffer from the high altitude, unlike SOME people (aka, me).
I...
We are on our first trip with Large Charge Marge, an R1T Max Pack, which we got a few weeks ago. Marge took 3 years, 3 months, and 15 days to arrive, so I’ve spent a little time on these forums with serious truck envy. Our plan of attack has been:
Map the trip for the day using ABRP Premium...
Congrats on the truck! I should get mine next week.
Coincidentally, I asked my guide about the tonneau covers since we have a manual one ordered. (I was thinking that picking up at the factory help since no shipping would be involved.) He said they ship from their facility in California. So I'd...
Finally hit “ready for purchase“ today! Max Pack R1T Dual, Glacier White, Ocean Coast
Order date: July 2020
Final config confirmation: 9/28/2023
VIN received: 10/20/2023
Ready for purchase: 11/7/2023
Is it really gonna happen or will it fail QC?
Just got my VIN, and I should be in the truck in a week or two. (Confirmed/locked config on 9/28, lost shop access in mid-October, and got my VIN 10/24.)
I hear there's no external badging for the Max Pack, and I've discovered that when decoding my VIN, there's no indication it's a larger...
I've owned an EV for 5 years, and I'm still waiting on my Max Pack (July 2020 reservation). But warmer temps, lower driving speed, and lower wind speed can all markedly increase your range.
Any way you slice it, though, 180 miles while towing is a long way. (You should not charge past 80%, as...
I checked yesterday, and I lost access to the shop, too. I hope this means my > 3 year wait is over for the much-maligned (and perhaps correctly maligned) Max Pack.
Someone in these forums had posted about a wheeled Dewalt toolbox/container, and that two of those fit in the tunnel, back to back.
I bought one in July thinking our Aug/Sep max pack was near (and we might get it in Oct!), so I have one, but no way of testing it...
Neither are we, and we have reservations! Last we heard, they were doing yet another delay. Guess it's time to get insurance lined up, financing, buy some accessories, etc.
I’m hoping they’re just not doing this “confirm config” stuff before merely re-working estimates!
We are July 2020 reservation holders, just a few minutes from the mothership in Normal. Our Aug/Sep 23 date got moved to Jan/Feb 24 with the last update.
Got asked to confirm config just now. I...
It’s $7,000 over the cost of the dual motor for pre-Mar 2022 order holders. But we try not to think about that and instead focus on those 50 miles. ?
