On a 220V? I'm not seeing anything like that on my 2024 R1T Dual Perf.
Similarly, I'm not sure why so many get butt hurt by the decreased efficiency when it's cold. There are many ways one can counter that initial efficiency hit but they chose to ignore it, or just would rather complain.Iâm not sure why so many EV folks complain of horrible drop offs in range and performance - this was brutal conditions and the Riv performed great and I was super comfortable the entire time! Loving this truck more and more as I put tens of thousands of miles on her.
Then it's because the truck is preparing the pack to charge as you are below your range target (as shown by the 5 miles gained back). Try just using the climate controls to heat or defrost the cabin while the truck is fully charged to your target level... the quick reduction in range with a cold battery I was talking about is lost while driving, not when still pugged in.
Do you have the option checked to pull from the charger when running climate?
Only when you pre-program a scheduled heating which I have no use for as timing of my drives varies quite a lot.
How did your heater work? In cold weather I can't get enough warm air to circulate around the floor. It's my biggest gripe about the truck.Today I drove my â22 R1T Quad on a 93 mile trip; about 50/50 Interstate and back roads. The truck had been sitting outside for the last 5 days undriven (it vampire drained 11 kwhr in that time. Thatâs typical for mine). My truck has 35k miles on it.
Itâs been very cold here the last 5 days with salt and snow (thatâs why I havenât been driving mine I try to keep it out of the salt and instead drive my 2008 beater Trailblazer with 230k miles on it !). When I left this morning it was 19F outside and the wind had been blowing 30-40 mph with wind chills in single digits. The battery pack temp was 21 F. The motors were ice cold. I drove the entire trip with cabin heat at 70 and heated seats and wheel on. Truck was in All Purpose mode in standard height on 21â tires.
My average for the entire trip was 2.26 mile per kwhr and I was driving at or slightly above the speed limits. When I finished driving the pack temp was 38F and the highest motor temps I saw were 139F.
Iâm super happy with that performance and Iâd say my range was only affected slightly from normal (the Regen was nearly non existent for the first 2/3 of the trip since the pack temp was so cold).

I don't know your schedule, but why not just run it once in the morning or before your earliest first use of the day. If my vehicle is at the set range, I turn the climate on -- my battery warms 30F beyond the point it started at. That warmth lasts most of the day.
I get same result by just increasing the set range to âforceâ the truck to use the charger when needed.
Does the screen show red air flow around the floor ? If not, just shut the AUTO mode and put it back to reset it.
it seems to take a little time to really start warming up (reminds me of my ICE cars in cold weather) but it is very comfy after a little while with the cabin set to 70 (vents on floor and front of dashboard) and with the heated seats on 2 and the steering wheel heat on.
In such mild winter conditions, I donât really notice a drop in efficiency for my R1 T either. When it is -20°F I lose about 25- 30% range. I think thatâs what most people are referring to when they complain about range loss in cold conditions.Today I drove my â22 R1T Quad on a 93 mile trip; about 50/50 Interstate and back roads.

Yes; I drove our Tesla MYLR ~2500 miles last month, and we got a cold snap the first entire day of driving. Not as cold as up there, but in Maine and northern NY it was between 0-7F the entire day and first half of second day, decent wind too. Major loss of efficiency, 30%+ (Thule on top didnât help).
