Head winds over 20 are disastrous and for electric vehicles, more so, or maybe the same..I know. Didn't fill up and ran into 25 mph headwinds and almost ran out of gas.
Thanks mav kev. Yes, a marvel,,,on so many levels. I will be watching Rivian and hopefully they continue to grow and produce more of their Rivians..As far as the negativity..that happens when new things challenge the status quo, and that's a good thing.
I had a ride in a Rivian R1T. It is a solid truck. I liked it, but yeah, the price originally was supposed to be in the low 60K area...but with the big battery ( 400 miles per charge ) pushed up the price 6K more. 0- 60 in just over 3 seconds...Someday, with ongoing Battery Technology the way...
Driving up to Portland from Eugene...about 100 miles. Freeway speeds are at least 80 if not behind Semi trucks in the slow lane. I would be happy to get 35..looks like I might find out. Enjoy your Mav!
OK, I am a partial idiot...I did Not know that the electric mode shuts down over 60. Not a doubter but is that stated in the Manual or where? and Thanks.
Interstate driving is a challenge if your looking for decent MPG. As you know, the slow lane (trucks) can be used but..your going between 60 and 70 mph, perhaps. Here in the NW, as soon as you pull into the fast lane....at least 75-85+with a car on your tail.
Stay in the slow lane or pay the price.
I want to get that tonneau cover..just one question...does it cover the metal cross piece just under the back window ok? ( that's the area I am concerned about)
I read someplace that the Tyger tonneau cover that you have is a little short..only 54" , so, does it fit alright? I may be misinformed, but I just measured my truck from behind the glass to about an inch onto the plastic on top of the tailgate..56"
It is. And I have no control over it. I keep my eyes on the road most of the time and when I don't they are on the little box, you know the one. The blue one, and I am helpless..my foot is tap dancing my way to approval..and I can't stop. " how many miles will I get out of this tank full?" "...
