Rivian has now released an over the air software update that FIXES the range calculation error I was having while Towing. Thank you Rivian! I also forgot to add the 1000lbs of tongue weight to the total trailer weight. Which means we were actually towing 11,000lbs in this video.
-
Based on 40 years of experience watching Microsoft file transfer estimated times, I'm convinced Rivian purchased the towing algorithm from Microsoft.
-
Thank you for also using km and kg
-
I'm sure glad there are people like you to buy these ev's for me and demonstrate how much I shouldn't buy one. Thanks.

This guy is even cooler in person. Saw him today at CES while he was on the phone, I call out Zach! Not only he looks and waves, he hung up the phone and came over to chat, offered to take a picture and we parted ways. What a human 🎉 Great meeting Zach! Wisam

On the way back after picking up the Hummer maybe you can try displaying the battery percentage instead of mile estimations? I imagine that's more accurate and it would be interesting to see how it compares to the mile estimations.

I had to tow 15,000 lbs of hay last winter in my 3/4 ton ICE truck. The temperature was below zero and much of the trip was on hilly roads. To be fair to EV owners. I definitely lost some range. It was about a 20 mile loss over 100 miles. And to make things worse, I had to stand outside in sub zero temperatures for at least 3-4 minutes to fill the tank up. Oh the humanity!
-
Only Zack would think, two achilles' heels, cold weather and towing, and think I know I'll do both. It's why we love him!
-
I like this video on so many levels. A New EV Rivian Truck towing a old body new EV system Hummer!!! Who in the world would have thought this would happen. What a time to be alive.
-
As an EV owner it's refreshing to see some straight up honest testing like this.
-
These EV towing videos prove over and over that we are not ready for real world, realistic towing.
-
Bungee cords!! Not going anywhere 😅😂
-
I would be SUPER curious for a follow up video if you can talk to anyone at Rivian about what happened with the range showing 600+ miles
-
holy shit that is an amazing hitch. It's so high tech. FINALLY WE HAVE INNOVATION IN HITCHES!
-
Crazy that he is better at calculating the distance left in the battery, then the car itself lol
-
Nice video - this one (and many others too) convinced me that I am not ready for an EV - just bought another ICE F150. Honestly, I could not handle the range anxiety and the current lack of charging infrastructure (and the complete lack of respect for it too).
-
bungee cord "That's not going anywhere" 🤣 I really enjoy and appreciate your sense of humor Zack. Always a good time
-
Oh man that remaining mileage estimator was hilarious 😂 I'm actually impressed that you got that far! That is some serious towing. Oh man, non Tesla chargers are the worse. Love the video as always.
-
This is why I bought an ICE pickup to tow my 6000lb boat. I assume the batteries are relatively new. The biggest issue is finding a charging station where you can maneuver the long truck and trailer. I like the hitch. Thanks for the video
-
Wow I just wanted to say thank you for being such a nice person Zach. You are kind to yourself and others. God bless
