I received my R1T on Tuesday June 28, and today (July 1) we drove the 385 miles from Emerald Isle, NC to Centreville VA (via Middleburg for a winery visit). We used Conserve mode, and left the house with a 98% SOC. We’d first planned to charge in Emporia VA, but as we went along, battery consumption was such that it rerouted and changed our charging stop to Richmond. I drove at or slightly above the speed limit, and used a “country” route on 55 mph roads from my house to Rocky Mount NC (shorter, about the same time). I kept it at 70 on I95 in the 70 mph zones, and used adaptive cruise/HWA. Our charging stop at the Richmond Electrify America station was about 240 miles from home the way we drove, and we arrived with a 32% SOC and showing 108 miles of range. Plugged into a 350 kW charger, it worked first time, no issues. EA reported the max as 240 kW, but the highest I saw on the charger was 205 kW. It stayed at about 200 kW until about 50% SOC. We stopped charging at 81% SOC, 33 minutes. Charging rate about 74 kW when I stopped it. Arrived at our destination with 51% SOC.
I’m very pleased with the efficiency, and also with the fit and finish and performance. Delivery was smooth. I’m a happy camper…
