I am here for the Rivian content but I saw my favorite video game in here...Balatro. ❤

Our go-to game on the Steam Deck!

Some good tips. Thanks👍

@SS-fe9dr Месяц назад

Very informative. Thank you. Summer is going to be wild for camping! If you are open to traveling a bit north, both Sierra and Shasta regions have abundance of destinations. Looking forward to more videos.

@ChargeSetGo Месяц назад

Thanks! We plan on going to Shasta at some point. We've only been there skiing so it's going to be interesting to see it in the summer.

@SS-fe9dr Месяц назад

@@ChargeSetGo Shasta is awesome. You'll love it in the summer. I'm sure it will be a packed itinerary for you, but if you're looking for ideas, Potem fall was a pleasant surprise during our last trip. Id recommend to check it out.

@ChargeSetGo Месяц назад

Thanks for the recommendation. Always good to add more places on our list of places to visit.

Wonder how do you like the overall ride quality? And whats the draw backs? We are thinking to lease one actually

@ChargeSetGo Месяц назад

This is our first EV, 3 row SUV, and air suspension, so it's hard for me to compare the R1S with similar cars. Rides well in my opinion but definitely made to go off-roading. The only drawback is that all Rivian owners experience growing pains alongside Rivian! I get to experience the small issues and the fixes for them coming through OTA updates or at the service center. It's sort of fun for me but definitely not for everyone. It's rumored that a R1S refresh is being announced soon so it would be a good time for you to make a decision.

@@ChargeSetGowill the refresh version have improved ride quality? Also, how does the ride quality of the R1S compare to all or any of the following. BMW X7, X5 Acura MDX (2022+), Honda Pilot (2023+), BMW iX? Thank you!

@ChargeSetGo 26 дней назад

I've heard from a service tech at my local service center that he thinks the ride quality is improved. In terms of comparing to other cars, we had a 2020 RDX before but it's just hard to compare since they are built for different use cases. I wouldn't depend on the R1S to have a luxurious feel per se. It's built more as an offroad monster. If I had to choose the R1S still wins.

Over the last few months three different RU-vidrs have reported trouble with Camp mode AC/heat failing to stay active overnight causing the cabin to get either very hot or very cold. Have you experienced any issues like this with your R1S?

@ChargeSetGo 22 дня назад

It hasn't happened to me and we use AC almost every night we camp. Maybe it has to do with camp mode / Power on mode shutting off prematurely?

@tonymars.official 22 дня назад

@@ChargeSetGo That is great news! Thank you for the info. So you use Camp Mode in "Power On" mode? Just want to try to duplicate your results when testing first hand. Thanks again for your channel! Subscribed!

@ChargeSetGo 22 дня назад

We use 'Stay On' mode to make sure the car doesn't go to sleep and also so we can use AC overnight. Thanks!

@flapflapflap 26 дней назад

I assume you must always visit campgrounds that have a power outlet, correct? How much battery do you have upon arrival and how much battery do you expend on your average camping day?

@ChargeSetGo 26 дней назад

Actually out of the 6 camping trips posted on the channel, only 2 had electric hookups (cat camping and Pinnacles). The biggest reason is we've only driven up to around 125-150 miles each way to make sure we can finish the trip on a single charge. Now that we are more confident with utilizing an EV for camping, we have longer trips coming up soon where we will have a 30/50amp hookups on site. From our experience we use anywhere between 10-30 miles per night for overnight AC and/or cooking. I'd say cooking uses a negligible amount of power.
