You seem to have veered off topic. Dodge doesn’t make trucks any longer. :)

Yeah, I was hoping to get thru my first winter with the 21” OEM Pirelli’s but the first ice storm we had changed my mind. Slid all over the road. Immediately ordered the 20” AT’s from Rivian and have been pretty happy with them. I’m not sure they perform as well as the Blizzaks or Hakkas but...

Depends. Back in the day I used PlugShare extensively (you may notice some of the chargers on backroads were listed by me) and TripPlanner as well. Then ABRP came along and it was supported much better than TripPlanner so I began using it. Of course, I always depended upon Tesla’s in-car nav...

I’ve owned and been driving EV’s since 2014 so range anxiety is not the issue. The issue is the various CCS networks are too unreliable. I know this from firsthand experience.

+1 Received my R1T with 21’s in June but opted to purchase the 20’s when winter weather rolled in. Glad I did since I live in a hilly part of town. Didn’t bother with spares for either the 21’s or the 20’s since I’m only using my truck for local travel. If the CCS network ever becomes...

Neither did I. I asked my guide about a month ago and he gave me the standard reply of needing every available wheel/tire set to put on their trucks. Assuming the price is reasonable I’d just as soon get the tire change kit as well.

I’ll be in Temecula around mid-January so if they arrvie by then I’d be interested. Otherwise it’s kind of a long drive from Bend.

1) I don’t mind the blower sound. It’s much less objectionable than a lot of other PWS’. 2) The chirp must be drowned out by the door latches because I’ve never heard it. Or maybe I’ve just never noticed it. 3) I like the pock-pock sound. I agree it’s hard to hear but I would cal that...

I actually have solid reason to believe that it’s the seat sensor. On my R1T the front passenger seat intermittently registers no one sitting in the front passenger seat when, in fact, someone is sitting in it. There doesn‘t seem to be any pattern but it happens frequently and it’s concerning...

True, but I don’t mind dropping the trailer somewhere nearby in order to charge the truck. I’d much prefer a pull-thru charging station — and Tesla has a few — but I can live with current state of the Tesla network.

I’m fortunate that most of my driving with my R1T is local and I usually charge overnight at home. I knew this going into my purchase so I’ve kept my RAM 1500 for long trips (I tow an Airstream) but I’d love to use my R1T for that purpose. Unfortunately that won’t happen until Tesla...

I apologize if I came across too harshly. It’s just that I get so tired of people on EV forums throwing out careless electrical advice. Like you pointed out, changing breakers is easy, but it ignores the fact that you should do a quick load calculation to be certain you’re not overloading...

Sure, it’s easy to install a new breaker but running new wiring is not so easy and something most homeowners wouldn’t/shouldn’t attempt. You’re a perfect example of this. A 70-amp circuit requires 4 AWG NM-B wire, not 6 AWG. Ampacity Charts

Charging at 50 amps would require a breaker (and wiring) rated for at lest 62.5 amps — which, of course, doesn’t exist. So I’d like to know how they offer a charge rate of 50 amps.

Could you walk me thru this? I don’t see where I can add another phone to my acct. Thx!

Absolutely, but with the softer rubber I’m counting on having just slightly more control on ice. Unfortunately, I was caught off guard (hadn’t had my coffee, yet) and I instinctively took my foot off the throttle instead of feathering it. I keep my regen set to standard but even a little less...

My original plan was to stick with my 21” wheels and OEM tires. But on Wednesday Bend had a bit of early morning sleet that coated my street with a thin layer of ice. My street has a steep slope to the main highway where it’s a T-intersection and I slid all the way down. Managed to avert an...

I’d also like the dual.

Personally I’d rather Rivian offer a HEPA filter. Then recirculate would be less of an issue.

In these situations, I always leave a note in my windshield with my phone number and a brief explanation of why I’m taking up a spot or when I expect to move. Never had a crank call, yet. People always tend to assume the worst and a little info is all that’s needed to defuse the situation.
