Great video! Love the details. One detail oriented thing … you paid for energy (kWh) not power (kW). $ per kW*hour (NOT $ per kW).

as a fellow spreadsheet nerd. Great job. And this is the info I really wanted to know!! Thanks

I like your point about the EV journey being more relaxed. I have found that to be the case with the trips I have taken with my Taycan. There is feeling of rush, rush, rush. It also gives you a bit more time to explore things that you might not otherwise have seen or done.

I really wish Rivian would have put lockers on this thing. Have you encountered any obstacles that you haven't been able to get through yet, where lockers would have made the difference in getting through or not?

Amazing video and summary! Love it. Maybe I’ll do this one day with my R1S.

What kind of tires were on it

Thank you for the video! Not much comparison videos or even dual motor videos on the off road capabilities. Makes it feel like you can only go off road with quad motor so thanks for sharing!!

I recently traded my 2022 Quad for a 2023 PDM Max Pack...thus far (~1,500 miles) I am very pleased. Overall, it seems like it's better put together than our 22. Question...so my "range" estimator states 389 (22" wheels). On a long road trip this past week, we got 2.47 mi/kwh which is pretty great in my opinion. This is at ~76 mph @~84 degrees. So if we take 141.5 kwh usable times 2.47 mi/kwh = ~350 miles on the highway. What efficiency are you seeing with your Max Pack? Thank you

hello from Italy Florence how do these Hankook dynapro at2 all terrain tires behave on wet asphalt and on snow and mud because I would be willing to buy it for my Suzuki Jimny 4x4! (Hello, I have a set of Hankook dynapro atf RF 10 205-70-15 m+s all terrain tires on my Suzuki Jimny 4x4 and a set of retreaded mud terrain tires from the Italian brand ziarelli and they are the mud Power model ziarelli MT 205-70 -15 !)

Great video, I’ve been looking for a good comparison of the dual versus quad motor in an off-road off camber scenario.

Kind of ugly though

This is literally more of a truck than Cybertruck will ever be

I feel that Rivian is missing a tick not fitting a low range gear, especially in the dual motor. It would allow for more control and the motor wouldn't have to work as hard nor be as twitchy as it currently is. Mercedes-Benz is fitting it to there new electric G Wagon and it makes a big difference for low speed manoeuvrability.

Very cool! Do you feel like the dual motor is capable enough off road?

Nice design, would be better though if the Flip top, flipped to the rear instead, this would allow access to rear door of truck, also so provide a propane stove option, campers love cooking with flame.

Amazing! Where is this at?

How are the tires after 3 years? I’m getting these installed tomorrow on my sequoia. I love the look with the white letters. Mine are 275/65R18 and I got it for $213.99 a tire! I’m looking forward to having some fun with the new rubber!

I know there's no rock crawl with the dual motor, but do you know what the differences are off roading vs the quad? At any point did you wish you had the quad motor? Thanks

Its interesting that they STILL haven't put the T8 system in the cross country versions of the V60 and V90. They claim it is for offroad performance. Which is like.. "Wait what?" the lifted wagons get more capability than the SUV's?

And then the supercharger team suffered an Elon moment... Hopefully the reliability of the existing stations remains high.

Wish I saw this before you went through Grand Junction, it would have been great to meet up!

Oh how I have food envy (and car envy=) right now

Love to hear that our steak knives inspired your meal! Looks SO good! Thanks for sharing!

Great wine selection! I assume that table does not knock over, being bolted to the roll-out frame.

Wow, looking at your ABRP route, we are about to take a trip leaving from Houston and going to LA via I10, then SF, Utah, Colorado, Dallas, Tyler and back home. About 4500 miles. Got the A2Z as well and Tesla membership.

Terrific video. I drive a Model Y. My basic understanding is that EPA ranges are based on 45 mph, no HVAC. Every increase of 10 mph burns 10% more electricity. (I could be incorrect. Range should drop at an increasing rate as speed increases.) AC is also a factor. When I was in Texas a few weeks ago my Tesla onboard Nav was directing me to distant Superchargers apparently not taking into account the much higher energy usage on the 80 mph Texas I-10. A couple of years ago, I went from Blanding, UT to Holbrook, AZ, 226 miles, 100 degree temps. My Tesla wasn't going to make it. For half of that drive I slowed down to 50mph (got out of other people's way) turned off the AC. With FSD I could just enjoy the view (including seeing the other side of Monument Valley). I arrived at the Holbrook Supercharger with 13 or 15 percent. The thing about going up hill? Vehicles use a lot more energy pushing air out of the way than anything else. So you could theoretically drive Lone Pine back down to Palmdale (downhill) using 0 percent battery, or even gaining some regen. When I drove down from Lake Arrowhead to the Supercharger at the bottom, I went from about 8000' to a 1000' or less. The drive was about 20 miles, not very fast (traffic). I gained another 15 to 16 miles of range. Looking at the first Tesla Semi video going 500 miles on the I-5 in California, and over Tejon Pass 4140', the graph of the charge shows significant drop going up to the pass, but apparently gaining all of it going back down. The over all graph looks like a straight slope of energy/distance, basically the climb/descent appears to completely factor out. (Doesn't violate the Laws of Thermodynamics because it's mostly pushing air.) And trolls, instead of just bashing my comment, go out and do some testing. I'd love to see some numbers. Shell in the 1960s used to do a maximum mileage run from Phoenix to Los Angeles - it's mostly downhill.

Aired down from 48 to 40 11:22?

Excellent breakdown

For my money, I'd wait for the next gen Lightning.

Good investigative work on the route. I'd assumed they were on West Side Road and were going to try to go to Butte Valley and Goler Wash to Panamint, but I see you were right. What's your problem with Saline hot springs? It's not that bad. I've gone in the upper springs and been totally alone in the moss and muck and even the last time I was at the main springs there were only 3-4 weirdos, plus some coyotes.

We were in Big Bend right before the eclipse and were surprised how many EV's we saw down there, especially Rivians (maybe we saw you), but also Teslas, and even a Polestar. I know you could charge in Alpine, but that's 70 miles away. People must have been charging in Study Butte or Terlingua.

I'll say it EV's suck, just like this channel.

KZfaq is about whatever will get the most views, factual information be damned. Nice analysis by the way. I love the shots from your trips.

CyberTruck as soon as they increase the kilowatt hours in that pack or just put a bigger one in...

I'm actually surprised even 3 of the chargers were even working in Green River. Most of the time only 1 or 2 ever work there

Yeah that Donut video really rubbed me the wrong way.

They clickbaited because of the issues which they had so it was gunna be an extra 50-60miles there and back it was definitely to please the anti EV guys because they never mentioned elevation they never mentioned the length of the other routes they had to take

I am getting dual motor max battery white with Matt ppf and 20’ black rims all terrain tires; since this is a “made” vehicle it is coming with under clad but I have to buy the spare tire kit and order the electric tonneau cover. By the way there are no longer Guides to assist with purchase! Bummer.now we know where the 10% of staff have gone to. We can thank McKinsey & Co for this Yesterday solution? I love your UTube, hope to see you off road sometime.

Mojave Road is on my list, but I’m gonna do it in my wrangler 4xE… There’s a 50kw charger at the west end of the road but getting to the east side looks like a haul. We ended up going with the Jeep a couple years ago after a challenging/discouraging trip in our Bolt from OC to Tucson in 2022. The Bolt is about to tick over 100,000 miles and it’s still going strong but I’m itching to move on from it. Once we get the specs on the Sierra AT4 I’ll decide between it and the R1T. The bidirectional charging on the GM trucks and SuperCruise are pretty compelling even if I’d prefer the garagability of the R1T.

The Rivian is such an awesome vehicle! Did you find that the vehicle dictated where you had to stop and you sometimes would rather have stopped at different locations compared to your old setup with your XC60 on your eclipse trip? Waiting in line behind 3 Silverados at Green river...!?! Always avoid Green river EA to start with hehe facepalm.

Awesome analysis. I have the max pack dual with 21 inch wheels and it does amazing off-road and the range cushion is worth it

Chevrolet may be using the Silverado name for brand recognition, but that is obviously an Avalanche.

I have the R1T dual motor but I wish it had the battery pack of the Silverado.

We're so glad you're enjoying using your Thunderbolt Adventure Supply Camp Kitchen! Can't wait to see what else you cook up!

I love the video! It will be a while before we get an rtt, but we’re getting an r1t delivered next week! One question about this tent: roofnest says it is 60” long but rivian bed length is 54” long I think. How come yours doesn’t look to be overhanging the back by 6”?

Great review and looking forward to your next video adventure with your Rivian! (Now please start selling them in Europe, I'd love this setup!)

What a great kitchen setup, very cool. Flip the sink back over to hang the bag? Won't be fighting gravity that way.

Love to see our kitchen kit included in this! Awesome setup! Thanks for sharing!

The Kranvagn may be gone from the outro, but it lives on in the profile picture. ♥
