    Tesla Supercharger Testing, Video and Charge Curve (Using Rivian R1T)

    Hi Everyone, With Tesla's opening of supercharger access for Rivians opening up on the 18th, we were eager to get to a supercharger and experience the process. The pain here in Canada of Level 3 chargers is unberaable, and you'll see in the video we have some rather pointed words for the charge...

    Using the auxiliary pin in the 7-pin tow connection to provider 12 volt power to a small trailer

    Hey all, I tow a small homemade trailer and use a ecoflow 800 wt solar battery to power a cooler, lights and water pump. I have solar panels to recharge the system when off grid as well as a 110 input to charge at home or with the Rivian R1T 110 outlets. I was thinking I could use the...

  4. Bought a Patriot Camper and drove from Las Vegas to the Bay Area (550 miles) - range, Rivian network, quick impressions

    Iā€™ve been eyeing a Rivian camper for almost a year now and finally pulled the trigger this week. I picked up the last of their Gen 1 X3ā€™s as the new Gen 2ā€™s are coming in and are almost $20K more expensive. For those that donā€™t know what a Patriot Camper is - itā€™s an incredibly compact...

    I towed a car trailer over 1800 miles with my R1T

    I live in the Detroit area and have been doing an event called Rocky Mountain Race Week for the past couple years which starts in Nebraska. In years past, I drove my C5 Corvette from home to the event, but this year with a newer C6 Corvette and different drag racing tire situation, I wanted to...

    Tow Eye Threads- Anyone know the size?

    Does anyone know the size of the tow eye threads? Talking about the mostly useless one hidden behind the passenger tow hook rubber flaps. Investigating using it for a tie in point for an ORV flag. Looks like it is a Left Hand thread but I don't have a set of thread gauges to figure out the rest...

    Boat Show - Show the boats you're towing with your Rivian

    What boats are you guys towing with your Rivians? Iā€™ve got a 2017 Scout 251XS bay boat Iā€™ve now towed around a little with the R1T. Running at 70 mph I was getting .87 m/kWh, but at 60 mph more like 1 m/kWh. Tows like a dream, but surge brakes on a boat trailer mean you canā€™t adjust the gain...
  8. 6X12 U-Haul Trailer Towing - Anyone do this yet?

    Iā€™ve seen some favorable range hits posted for the 5x8 trailer with little weight added, but was wondering if anyone has had the chance to tow the larger U-Haul trailer yet with it loaded with some stuff. I have a cross country move coming up and I may be faced with the decision to delay...

    Am I crazy?

    Am I crazy in either of these 2 ways... I placed my order last month and I'm in no hurry...planning to drive my 2010 4runner until I get a pickup, whether that's a Rivian or whether I bail and get something else. But I'd like to have it by the end of 2022. Am I crazy to think that's plausible? I...

    2021 Ford F-150 Will Add Onboard Scales for Hauling

    https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a36276154/2021-ford-f-150-onboard-scales-announced/ I love the thought of having these features available and I believe Rivian has all the components needed to make this work at launch or through OTA updates. I think it would really help to keep drivers safe...
  11. Flat towing a Rivian

    I hope Rivian is listening. I think they should consider making their vehicles flat towable by RV's. It would be like turning the RV into a hybrid. The Rivian could use power to reduce or eliminate its load on the RV, and maybe even assist in going up hills. Such a feature would allow for...
