Bummer to have to put a 12v battery In a 48v system to power a winch..

Spot on from my experience as well. Giving up the gear tunnel and large frunk is going to be a bummer. I struggle with the rear seat space as well, just a little to small for long trips, so we end up taking the MX (not to mention Supercharging, even though our MX has almost 100miles shorter...

I often wonder why Tesla, with the most camera and technology capability and resources, can't offer a 3D overhead plan view like my R1T, but they don't for some stupid reason! I hope they at least offer different tow configurations by trailer type (presets). It would be nice to have preset...

Both of these quotes are spot on and from my experience towing extensively with both a 100dMX and the Rivian R1T, I can tell you without a doubt, that the MX takes a lot bigger penalty due to its better aero drag component/efficiency while towing This does worry me about having a 350-mile "ish"...

Just a clarification, Model X (100KWH) battery compared to R1T (~135kwh?). Yes, very similar conditions and load. R1T consistently reduces regen, even on smaller loads like my car trailer with my tractor on it. (I tow a lot!) I'm not saying either vehicle is worse than towing with an ICE, both...

This..... I tow something pretty muchh every week, maybe twice a week (boat, dump trailer, RV, Car trailer) with my R1T, but I only need a range extender when pulling my RV for weekend long trips. I could see being OK with 350-400mile CT to handle weekend boating trips, but renting a battery...

So you're saying while coasting down a hill with a 5k boat behind my MX, that it's feathering the brakes? Ehhh, I dunno about that. I could see feathering the brakes is possible if I set the cruise control at 60 and the regen couldn't keep up with slowing the vehicle on its own. That makes...

You are probably correct in general, but I don't have that limitation on the 100kwh Model X compared to the 135 kWh R1T (same hill, same boat ModeL X never limits regen. I think it's more of a thermal limitation issue on the inverter/motor. Pretty lame really to force the use of brakes and its...

This was one of Rivian's stories about towing in the Mojave. They should have done more testing.. my R1T still maxes out regen with my 5k boat coming down from the Sierras and I have to use my brakes.. BLAH! https://stories.rivian.com/hot-weather-towing

I'm honestly a little concerned about the storage space. I really enjoy the large frunk, gear tunnel and extra large spare tire vault in the R1T (I don't have a spare tire). It seems the CT will have a large ample bed, but I like the separated storage space of the R1T. Most of the time when we...

Sorry if I came off boasting, it wasn't my intent. I was simply trying to make the point that sometimes it's nice to have faster charging, and if you're planning to tow with the CT as many will, having 40-50mph charging at home doesn't seem unreasonable. If you must know, we keep our cars at...

Seems plausible for them to bring back the older single 72AMP single charger I have on my (old) 17'MX for the CT. I do enjoy getting 45-46 mph charge speeds on my MX. I have a Gen II charger, which back in the day could charge at 80amps on my dual charger P85.... It was awesome to get 60mph...

My Wife and I are lucky enough to have won a lottery Pic to go.. no plus 1s so pretty bummed about that!

Ive always thought A battery trailer could be useful 100% of the time, unlike my 7500lb paper weight trailer that I use 5% of the year. The other 95% of the time my battery trailer could be plugged in to my home "VTG" and making me money in arbitrage. Love it!

Lol.. I took a video of the two tesla Semis 4 years ago at the rocklin center.. same plates or same truck? Hmmmm.....
