Hey all, my husband Marcus works at Rivian, and we took delivery of an R1T on Halloween. He is moving to California, and we are driving the R1T out there while towing our “play” car behind it. I’ve made an IG account for it (it will probably be boring) but I’ll be posting our range with the trailer and our experiences towing. If you’re interested in following, it’s GideonTheRivian. Here’s the setup:

Thank you! I had the wife follow their new Instagram. This is the kind of information I "need" right now. Hoping they are able to provide data points on the terrain to go along with their efficiency numbers.

Probably just angle, the back, side windows look small on those 4 R1S’. Actually that whole upper rear portion looks odd. Probably nothing but an off angle and background
The windows do look small, angle or no angle.....hmmm

Don’t count as what?
There's a Conspiracy Theory that Rivian employees will say only positive things about their vehicles, and will not mention any issues or post real life reports.

Real information, since it's obviously an account set up by the employee for the express purpose of advertising for Rivian by saying only positive things about their beta version of the truck that they are testing so they can fix all the problems before real people get them delivered.

Or at least that's what I've been told on the internet.

That user already mentioned how Camp Kitchens are not available until January/Maybe. So that is a thing.

Yep. First I’ve seen that anywhere about the Camp Kitchen..I guess another supply chain issue…
For their planned trip..I too hope they keep a log/simple spreadsheet showing us some charging data, SOC, range of each leg, maybe basic weather info, more flat or hilly roads, maybe elevation diffs at start/end of each leg. Also what is approximate weight he’s towing. (apologies to ask for so much!!) ?

The crazy part is that your “play” car is slower than the truck towing it. ;)
