Thoughts on Exterior Lights (Turn Signals/Brake/Hazard Lights)
The only data Iād be interested in seeing would be a quantitative study that looked at visibility with or without DRLs. Anything attempting to correlate accident rates with DRLs (because how could you set up a controlled experiment to measure crashes!) would be so full of potentially...- Pugster

Perfect vehicles don’t exist.
Great topic. Cars, trucks, boats, pinball machines, fishing rods, hunting rifles, bicycles, steaks, coffee - everything has trade offs (little window into my life there). As someone who typically agonizes over always making the ābestā choice, Iām slowly learning that itās a fallacy. Good...- Pugster

R1T Towing Range Sneak Peek — 44 Miles of Predicted Range with 37% Battery Remaining
Iāve towed extensively with our F150 Ecoboost. These numbers arenāt shocking (they actually seem about right, maybe a bit low), and theyāll most likely translate to any EV towing at speed. Drag is the big killer, as people have already stated keeping the speed down can help quite a bit. News...- Pugster

Have You Gone Fully Electric??
Model 3, will be fully EV with an R1T replacing our current F150. Solar setup on the house. No hesitations whatsoever, in fact I canāt wait to join my wife in the āno gassing upā world. She hasnāt pumped gas since 2018 when we got our Tesla. The biggest things I learned after getting our car...- Pugster

Electric Cars Listed By 0-60 MPH Acceleration: Quickest To Slowest Rivian R1T/R1S turns out to be effectively the least expensive EV in the U.S. 0-60
I love this. I off-road semi frequently and the off road performance is what drew me into the Rivian. The fact that itās a rocket and MT suggest it handles like a sport sedan have me over the top. Itās like a Model S and a Ford Raptor had a babyā¦and like kids often do, itās surpassing itās...- Pugster

? Official EPA Range and MPGe Numbers for R1T & R1S
Iām curious to see the real world numbers. The Motor Trend videos definitely suggest over 300 (307?) on 20ās in conserve mode and damn near it in all around (293). I know none of those numbers are official but they are promising.- Pugster

Information or reasoned speculation on range with AT 20's and 'Conserve' mode - please avoid drift
Makes a lot of sense. Standardization would be very difficult if they used a blended version. So the question isā¦what mode did they use, and will āconserveā eke any more range out of the A/Tsā¦.?āāļø- Pugster

Information or reasoned speculation on range with AT 20's and 'Conserve' mode - please avoid drift
Following this thread. There was a suggestion that the EPA rating was done in blend of all modes, which would include some that are more energy hungry (such as sport and off-road, rock crawl, etc.). Iām hoping that the real world numbers run in the more efficient modes give us 20ā A/T fans a...- Pugster

? Official EPA Range and MPGe Numbers for R1T & R1S
No pro here, but I think the A/Ts will definitely be more efficient than a dedicated snow tire as they have been designed as an EV specific tire. That suggests at least some degree of low rolling resistance to me. Having run dedicated winters and A/Ts (with the snowflake) Iāll add with a high...- Pugster

? Official EPA Range and MPGe Numbers for R1T & R1S
My guess would be stickier rubber, and possibly not a low-rolling resistance tire on the sports. Tesla was putting the Pilot Sport 4S on the P model 3ās from what I understand, which is an all season tire but definitely a far cry from a winter. Iād be shocked if Rivian opted for a true...- Pugster

? Official EPA Range and MPGe Numbers for R1T & R1S
Like a lot of people the hit on the 20s isnāt a huge surprise but I was hoping the 300+ would be on those wheels given the marketed use of the vehicle. As a Tesla driver I have zero concerns when it comes to highway trips (we look forward to supercharging stops actually, breaks the trip up)...- Pugster

Off-Road Upgrade or Not?
Iām the perfect case for an āon the fenceā off road packager. I hike and bike and fish and hunt (and generally find myself in the woods frequently), but donāt go off-roading just to go off-roading - itās all about the activity or destination Iām trying to get to. That puts me in some slightly...- Pugster

??āļø Some questions answered by my Rivian Guide today
They mention that the standard shield is designed for protection in extreme off-road conditions, which does make me wonder why I need the off road package. Super-extra-crazy-extreme off-road conditions? If itās the difference between a standard high-quality off-road skid plate and one...- Pugster

Rivian 0-60 MPH Acceleration Video Detailed
I think DuckTruck has also suggested that drive modes control more than just the suspension height and damping. Sport mode (or whatever is the āperformanceā setting for pavement) will probably give optimized launches via traction control and power application for the best 0-60 smiles. This...- Pugster

New video "Let's Just Drive" & official letter from RJ provides huge update!
Iām wondering if the test track had any āwashboardā type of terrain. Our gravel (logging) roads are littered with it, and to say that it sucks isnāt even getting started.

What will be the EPA rating for the 135KWh R1T?
This is exactly what Iād like to see. There will be enough variability in range based on driving style that it makes more sense to me to market a similar āunderratedā number for all wheel/tire models.- Pugster

I was all set to rip on the OP for focussing on something so small. Then I zoomed up on the table and saw a SUP fin and a bicycle seat.
