An excellent suggestion. Here is Nokian’s response: Hi, 350 kPa (50 psi) carries a load of 2430 kg/axle and I wold say that is a OK pressure to use. And if you want to use a bit lower pressure then you can use 300 kPa (44 psi) = 2200 kg/axle. 550 kPa (80 psi) is the tires max pressure and...

In post #41 I reported the results which showed a 10% increase in range. I don’t consider it definitive since the test distance was pretty short.

I admit there are times when a YouTube video can be helpful but the majority are overly long and take forever to get to the point. I’d much rather read a manual than watch a video.

Yeah, it's nice Rivian figured out that pickup trucks might actually be used to tow things. :)

I agree, the designated pull thru does look a little too short, but I would have used it if the parking lot wasn’t empty enough to park where I did.

The RAN chargers in Madras and Clackamas are trailer friendly. In Olympia I had to drop the trailer in the mall parking lot — but it was no big deal. In Madras I got a little creative just for fun.

Haters gonna hate.

Dry weight is listed at 5868 lbs. We had a nice, leisurely breakfast in Madras and a nice leisurely lunch in Clackamas — about an hour each time. We have the advantage of being retired so even when we drove the Ram we were never in a rush and mealtimes were a good excuse to relax and enjoy the...

We just finished the 1st half of our trip towing our 28' Airstream to Vancouver Island. Leaving from Bend I admit to some range anxiety traveling from Madras OR (2200 ft) and crossing over Mt Hood (3900 ft) for a climb of 1700 ft. Actually the climb was probably closer to 2500 ft as there is...

Funny, but we’re headed to Port Angeles on Monday. I intend to tow my 27’ Airstream up to Vancouver Island. I’m a touch apprehensive about making it over Mt Hood but I intend to post my travel results.

I finally had a chance to repeat the test drive I did a month ago on my AT+’s, only this time with the Nokian One HT. I drove to my favorite coffee shop in Redmond and then back to Bend for a round trip distance of 26 miles. Both drives were on dry pavement, temps in the low 60’s, negligible...

Not always. Remember Sandy recommended adding a 2nd motor to the power tonneau to prevent the problems we’ve been seeing. He rightly felt Rivian “cheaped out” on the design.

And make that a true HEPA filter.

I’d like to think its not a mass market brand, yet. :)

I just got back into town over the weekend. I intend to retrace my previous route and post those results. Maybe Thu.

Your electric utility may be subpar. My voltage rarely drops below 120v.

Or study this excellent website to build your own: Homemade Adapters. :)

+1 Clear case of argumentum ad hominem: attack the person when you have no substance with which to attack the argument.

Those statements are way too subjective to be even considered close to factual. I would love it if some standard arose that would solve this problem but until that happens it simply makes sense for Rivian to appeal to the largest audience possible.

I think you’re making an emotional argument. While Apple has over 22% of the worldwide smart watch market, Garmin has 8% and is falling (Smart Watch Market). It’d be much smarter for Rivian to focus on the larger customer base.
