range

So we are looking at getting a R1s for the family but I have some concerns/questions about making sure we get the right size battery. In areas like the upper Midwest where we see weeks in a row below 32 degrees F, is a ~40% range drop realistic? Does that number get exponentially worse as...

Winter takes a bite out of range, but everyone handles it differently. Have you found any small adjustments that made a noticeable difference for you? — Team Electruck

I've already posted this over on reddit but figured I'd drop it here also. ---------------------------------------------------- So I just got these swapped in 3 days ago and took it on a short road trip. Total trip was about 300+ miles but I collected data from the two longest sections (going to...

Sorry this is so long.... We just got back from our most recent road trip to see our daughter in Denver. When we travel, we always meander and sight see. We did this in our 2023 R1T Dual Max. Our trip started at home in Joshua Tree, CA to Gallup NM , Durango CO, Buena Vista Co, Denver...

I've got a new 2024 R1T still riding on the OEM Pirelli Scorpion's. I expect those tires to wear out relatively quickly compared to other tires I've had on other vehicles. I like the range I get with the stock 21's, and now that there seems to be a viable alternative to them I like the idea of...

I am going back and forth between the compact spare and a full size spare for our R1S for long family road trips this summer and was hoping someone with the compact spare may be able to help. Does anybody know what the official range recommendation from the manufacturer is? They are someone in...

It would be nice to NOT have a limit on mi/kWh. Appears to be limited to 4… But why? Let’s say my trip is essentially all downhill. mi/kWh could essentially be 99+ I don’t see a reason to limit it to 4 mi/kWh. Please update this in a future software update Rivian ?

Hi, I'm new to Rivian (had my car for 2 weeks now) and I'm very surprised with the mileage average I'm getting which is after 500 miles something below 2miles/kWh. Mostly driving 50/50 freeway and city. Rivian posted their usable battery size and I calculated that I'm only getting 75% of what...

Not sure if this is really an "issue" but the efficiency numbers for my R1T seem off. I'm in California, driving on 21" AS wheels/tires. Usually a pretty normal, slightly conservative driving style. I drive mostly rural roads and freeway (not a lot of stop lights or stop n go block by block...

The team at Out of Spec has released another video, this time highlighting range and efficiency aspects for the three stock wheel options. YT Link: Rivian R1T Consumption Test!

I’ve seen some favorable range hits posted for the 5x8 trailer with little weight added, but was wondering if anyone has had the chance to tow the larger U-Haul trailer yet with it loaded with some stuff. I have a cross country move coming up and I may be faced with the decision to delay...

Am I crazy in either of these 2 ways... I placed my order last month and I'm in no hurry...planning to drive my 2010 4runner until I get a pickup, whether that's a Rivian or whether I bail and get something else. But I'd like to have it by the end of 2022. Am I crazy to think that's plausible? I...

I was looking around for ideas on adding a generator to the car, and came across this https://www.rivianforums.com/forum/threads/generator-to-charge-r1t-when-extra-range-needed.2057/ but nothing about incorporating a generator to the actual car so I figured I'd start a new thread (where I'm sure...

It seems the reviews are coming out for the upcoming Lucid Dream EV. https://electrek.co/2021/08/25/lucid-air-dream-edition-buyers-choice-over-1000-hp-500-miles-range/ Lucid has also set the benchmark for EV range (500Miles/charge) and this review backs that up... I am somewhat disappointed...

With Rivian having announced a long-range (max(ish?) pack) version of the R1S, and it likely being under 400 miles, there's a good chance that the cost to upgrade might fall within $5k - $7.5k depending on how many more miles above 300 they can manage (given that they're charging $10k for 100...

How much are people willing to shell out for the additional range? You can also take into account the longer wait time - likely 6 months on the R1T and a year(?) on the R1S
