Lightning Bolt Disappeared with Software Update

[JamuJoe]

My R1T had not received the software update when I took delivery on 12/1 . Now I’ve updated, and the LIGHTNING BOLT which brought up the ENERGY screen has disappeared. Can someone please enlighten me as to how to access charging controls?

Pull up on the little bar above the selections. This will expose a whole other row of options.

You're welcome. Nice to see that you are here also. Do you still have your Airstream?

Aye, we are still Streaming! We traded the FC23FB for a FC28RBQ a few years ago. Toured BC, Yukon, and Alaska with it this summer.

We did Alaska with Lucy in 2019. We have started towing her with the R1T. Range is the only downside.

Curious - much does your range go down towing the Airstream with the R1?

Vs how much did your mpg go down towing the Airstream with your ICE? Obviously less of an issue due to abundance of gas stations but I'm curious anyway.

Range towing the Airstream is cut in half. Our other tow vehicle is a 2020 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 Duramax. Not towing it 18 mpg. When it tows the Airstream it get 13 mpg.

Good to know.

My only towing experience until now was with my '13 Toyota FJ, pulling a trailer with 3 motorcycles in it, probably about 2500 lbs total.

My mpg dropped from 17 to 11 or so, which was good for about 170 miles a tank. That's the difference a torquey diesel makes, I guess!

Brian and Moose: have you guys familiar with Airstream, seen the concept EStream?
