Taking my 2023 R1T Quad motor/large pack from Austin to Anchorage. After lots of research and some much appreciated in input from Ryan Watts of Van in Black, I am feeling pretty confident about the trip. Planning to use ABRP combined with the onboard navigation to chart our course. The truck has 20” AT with brand new OEM Pirelli Scorpion tires at 50 PSI. It is also outfitted with an IKamper 3.0 Mini tent mounted on Rivian cargo crossbars over the bed. I also have a Kuat Sherpa 2.0 bike rack. After doing some range/efficiency drives around Austin, I decided to start the trip with bikes loaded in the bed of the truck and the rack folded up. Seems a little silly, but I want to have the rack with me in Anchorage so I am bringing it. I hope to get better range in this configuration. All my range testing was done it standard drive mode. Any thoughts on standard vs conserve mode? It will be hard but planning to stick to 65mph as much as possible.
Our route is through Colorado, Wyoming and Montana then on to the Yukon, Alcan Highway then finally to Anchorage. Planning to do the trip in 10 days. We hope to use Level 3 charge as often as possible, Tesla, RAN and whatever other networks we find. We will be sleeping in the tent and ideally use RV parks to charge at night whenever possible. It appears that Canada has a pretty robust charging infrastructure so I feel pretty good about that but the areas of most concern are Wyoming, Montana, and Alaska. Any first hand input on the most recent status of chargers in Wyoming, Montana, and/or Alaska would be appreciated.
Will be trying to post updates and photos here and possibly on another platform yet to be determined.
