R1S Gen2
We picked up our R1S less than 2 weeks ago. We had to take our teardrop out and test it out. The built-in brake controller is a really nice feature. It tows like a champ. Coming from a Tesla MYLR which also towed well but so far the range impact appears to be less with the R1S. Also did our first EA fast charge session.

Efficiency/range numbers?
I'll do a better job next trip keeping track of my efficiency. It was a shakedown trip and our first non-Tesla charging experience. I think we got caught up looking at the range on the trip computer primarily. The integral brake controller and tow screen is great.

completely understand! The impacts on range are what’s holding me back from looking at the standard pack too much.

I’m also interested in a comparison of the Model Y energy usage while you are towing vs the R1S, on comparable roads of course.

Your new Rivian looks great! What motor configuration and pack size did you get?

Looking to get the same setup but with our R1T, are you happy with this trailer?

R1T Performance Dual Motor Max Pack
Sweet setup. Do you actually have electronically controlled trailer brakes on that teardrop though? Neither of my trailers have electronically controlled brakes so haven't had a chance to test the controller function out.

The Tri and Quad aren’t out yet. Of course this has “standard” motors.
Well you can get the dual motor in standard or performance versions, but on large/max only. The LFP pack only gets standard option for dual motor, no performance.

right. But the “Performance” models are the same dual motors with a software unlock for more power.
