Poll: New R2 Owners: post your efficiency at 70 mph and 70 degrees f

[ksurfier]

Sea level (if not, subtract 0.25 MPK for 5,000 feet amsl).

Flat terrain

If temp is 63, add 0.1 MPK, etc

if temp is 77, subtract 0.1 MPK, etc

If 20”, round up nearest tenth, if 21”, round down nearest tenth

i haven't received my R2 yet but it won't be 70 degrees here in the Phoenix area for a few months.

2.7 from test drive

This is stupid.

lol, i do tend to think the level of scientific/consistent this will be executed across a broad group of folks tends to make you correct. <hattip>

It won't be 70° F here in Florida until late December, so I guess I'll chime in then

When I first get a vehicle, I obsess over efficiency. Then I settle in with some standard planning metrics and live life without stressing over it at all. My R1T can get anywhere from 2.2 to 2.9 on the same route, on different days. I plan for 2.3. Why is it 2.3? What's impacting that number? What does everyone else get? I couldn't care less.

I wouldn't use that language.

The issue is that so many things play into efficiency that you need to include that additional data to form a model. But, yeah the poll is too simplistic.

Before I buy the R2 I'll probably find some dataset where I can determine the average efficiency for 70mph.

For my specific use case I have to drive roughly 220 miles a few times a month and I'd want to do this with a 90% charge when I leave with a minimum 10% charge when I arrive.

I can typically so this in the warmer months with my R1T Large Pack with 21" tires. For my trip 70 is more of a max speed than an average speed.

Only really during the wettest or coldest months do I need to charge to 100%.

My guess is if you can do it in your R1T the R2 should do it.

We picked up our R2 yesterday, the battery was at 98% and showed 329 miles (all purpose), 70% of that is 230 miles so in theory you could leave at 80% and arrive around 10%.

I have a place in the desert that is 120 miles (240 round trip) door to door, mostly highway. I’m heading out there next week in the R2. I’ll set a trip meter and try to remember to post the results back in this thread. it will probably be triple digit temps for half of the distance so will be a good test as not optimal conditions.

I’m very curious what the R2 will do, round trip in the R1S is typically 83% doing 70-75.

Did you get some good testing data?

I did, just got back, I’ll create a post in a bit with the details.
