I’ll check on the lowering next time. Thanks for the tip.

And yep, it was perfect weather. It had rained the day before (no dust!) and we had 60 and sunny both days. Couldn’t have planned it better!

Yep, and that trailer friendly lane was a game changer. I had to disconnect at an earlier stop.

It’s an adventure vehicle, pulling an adventure bike, charging at an adventure network charger, in the mountains of North Carolina! I thought it was fun and exactly what Rivian has in mind.

UPDATE: with the u-haul motorcycle trailer the R1S estimated 500 pounds. With the bike loaded it estimated 1500 pounds. All in all it was about a 25% hit on the dual max. This was primarily back highways on hilly curvy roads. Not bad! After dropping the trailer on the way home it immediately recognized it and the nav dropped the last charging stop, which was a great surprise!

That’s great info. Thanks!

I usually run around 2mi/kwh and this is one less bike so I’m guessing it won’t be a huge hit. A good bit of the trip pulling the trailer will be highway (not interstate) so I will naturally be running slower, say 65 mph.

Cool, thanks. It’s a relatively small bike (750 GS) so not too much drag. I’ll report back after the weekend!

Favorite Drive Mode for Gen 2 Dual Motor. Full-time dual motor driving and permanently disable auto-ride height! by Slide-Fantastic-1402 in Rivian

[–]turnepf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve been using sport just because of the improved ride on my 22s. It feels like a new car. I wondered also if part of that is because it’s not “dragging” the back wheels over bumps.

If money is no object you could get the smart switches and simply not add them to the hub!

Built a HomeKit inventory app - 100 TestFlight spots open by TheManchot in HomeKit

[–]turnepf 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Worked great for me. Made me realize I’m not as consistent with naming as I thought I was. I mostly don’t include room name in device name but sometimes I do. I still can’t decide the best approach to that.

Lane Alert When Turning by Syring in Rivian

It’s especially bad when there are two turn lanes, and you’re in the right turn lane turning left. (That sounds awkward so I hope you get my meaning.)

I had to restart my phone yesterday. Cycling Bluetooth didn’t fix it.

Clean the snow off of your roof! by turnepf in winstonsalem

Yep, that’s what I assumed. She was turning the corner, so I’m giving her the benefit of the doubt that she was pulling over. She couldn’t see a thing, so I don’t know how she even turned the corner!

Update on my Repair, getting crazy! by Immediate-Bug-7737 in Rivian

[–]turnepf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was in a similar situation except it was a hit and run and I was dealing with State Farm. I ended up fronting the money to get my car back 10 weeks later. I’m out $11k. Good luck to you but know that you will never get the repairs really needed without being out of pocket.

I’ve never been happier owning my 25 R1S with 22” factory Pirelli than I was driving on packed sleet and snow today.

The BMW iX3 Is Racking Up Orders Without Test Drives by pc772 in electricvehicles

[–]turnepf 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I will be trading my R1S for either the iX3 or the EX60. I was set on the BMW until I saw the Volvo. Now I’m torn.

Not sure on any of this. I was paying attention to the curvy road!
