    Towed Aliner Expedition Camper from coastal NC to central South Carolina

    Final stats with about 80 miles w/o trailer. The Waypoint charger at Poinsett park made all the difference!

    Towed Aliner Expedition Camper from coastal NC to central South Carolina

    Range 350 in conserve, 320 all purpose, 210 pulling the Aliner, 150 towing the 24ā€™ Boston Whaler walk around (Conquest 236) but I live just a mile from the boat ramp šŸ˜œ As to the look of the Aliner towing, it folds to about 6 feet, so you canā€™t see over it with mirrors. With the bed view camera...

    Towed Aliner Expedition Camper from coastal NC to central South Carolina

    NC does not have them (Rivian Waypoint chargers) in the state parks nor VA insofar as I know. However VA and NC have the Adventure DCFC along the Blue Ridge Parkway, which is very nice. Thereā€™s good hiking here, we did an 3 and a half mile loop this morning and is apparently a very popular...

    Towed Aliner Expedition Camper from coastal NC to central South Carolina

    Towed the Aliner Expedition from home in coastal NC to central South Carolina. We weā€™d been looking for a place to go for a quick getaway, and a place thatā€™s EV friendly. The South Carolina State Park system has an arrangement with Rivian, and there are waypoint chargers at each park. Just got...

    Dual Motor R1T on a steep slippery boat ramp?

    FWIW, my quad motor R1T (June 2022 vin 7xxx) has no problem with my 24 foot Boston Whaler on ramps in Emerald Isle (where I live) or at the Radio island ramp, or the Beaufort Town Creek ramp. All they can get pretty nasty. The R1T says it weighs 7,000, and thatā€™s about right.

    Blue Ridge Parkway weekend trip with R1T towing new Aliner camper

    Iā€™ve thought about that, but I donā€™t think it would be worth buying new tires. I just make sure the ones I have are properly inflated. -Joel

    Blue Ridge Parkway weekend trip with R1T towing new Aliner camper

    I still have the Aliner, and the range estimate is still good, especially if you look at the 200 miles on the downhill leg, and the 175ish uphill šŸ˜œ

    NACS and R2S news coming in March???

    In my experience, EA stations have a 50kW Chademo combined with a 150 CCS. Iā€™ve never seen a 50kW CCS EA kiosk (except when one was down rated). I do leave the Chademo open if at all possible in case a Leaf comes along, seems like common courtesy. So yes, I hook my Bolt Up to the 150 kW EA kiosk.

    NACS and R2S news coming in March???

    Really all EV drivers are in this together. Drivers of ā€œsmall EVsā€ need charging too and their access is just as valid as yours. Letā€™s all pull in the same direction for quick rollout of more stations. FWIW, when charging our Bolt, we always try to take a 150 at EA, and leave the Chademo open if...

    Hotspot stopped working

    At least thereā€™s a button on the top bar to do this nowā€¦back in the ā€œold daysā€ we had to go thru the menus šŸ˜œ

    Software Update 2023.46.0 is rolling out

    I attempted the update (42.1 to 46.0) yesterday and it failed, left an error message on the Updates screen. I called the SC today and they looked into it, pushed the update again immediately (I saw the download on my router), and it went on with no issues. Iā€™ve had my R1T for 18 months, first...

    6 mph speed limit error message while towing

    I pulled my 7000 pound boat trailer (standard hitch, not WD) a couple of times on the .38 software with no issues. The boat does use a 7 to 5 wiring converter because thatā€™s the way boat trailers work with surge brakes. I have a camper that weighs about 2500 that uses the 7 pin, but not since...

    Is the Blowing Rock RAN operational?

    I used it a couple times in Augustā€¦itā€™s been open a whileā€¦

    Blue Ridge Parkway weekend trip with R1T towing new Aliner camper

    Iā€™ve had a couple of issues but nothing very serious. The bolts on 2 stabilizers broke (my guess is that it was too much torque on a self tapping bolt). They replaced one damaged stabilizer under warranty (I installed it, less hassle to me, and I replaced the bolts on the others). I had an issue...

    Delivery Restrictions for NC

    Iā€™m in Emerald Isle. Mine was delivered in June of 22, and mobile service has come to me a couple times. The most involved was replacing a headlight assembly. Iā€™ve stopped by the Richmond SC for a couple ā€œdrive thruā€ items.

    Towing boats with Rivian R1T & R1S -- add your experience / results

    The bed cam also makes it easy to keep tabs on wet dogs on the way back from the boat ramp šŸ˜Ž Theyā€™d just been on on a short errand to pick up oysters at the seafood market when I took this picture, but you can extrapolate!

    Like the new towing features in 2023.38.0!

    I picked up the boat from service this afternoon (first tow since the update), and it builds and stores a profile of the trailer, and estimates the range at 100%. The computed weight for the boat looks reasonable. This also shows the new ā€œgauge viewā€ feature. I look forward to seeing how this...

    iOS 17 and Camp Speaker?

    See my post from earlier this evening, mine is working fine again after the 2023.38.0 update

    iOS 17 and Camp Speaker?

    FWIW, Itā€™s working again, after 2023.38.0 update. Was a solid reproducible fail every time before the updateā€¦
