Btw there have been other tow tests:
Motor trend
Car and driver
Rivian employee moving cross country
These all have the same theme: slow charging time and poor access to charging while pulling a trailer. Insufficient infrastructure for EVs. In these, non extreme, tow tests the range was closer to 170. All the takeaways were increase the range (issue with the truck) and significantly improve the infrastructure. For a family on vacation stopping every 2-2.5 hrs may not be an issue as long as recharging was 15min or less.
