So I was bored after dinner so naturally I wanted to take the R1T for a drive.
So I decided to drive from my home in Sandy, OR (~800 ft above sea level) to Timberline Lodge (~5800 ft above sea level) over a total distance of 35-36 miles. Temperature was low 50s F in Sandy and mid 30s F at Timberline.
I drove with auto climate control on at 69 and heated drivers seat at level 1. 20” AT tires installed.
For the first flatter part of the drive between Sandy.and Rhododendron (and reverse) truck was in conserve in standard ride height
For the steepest part of the climb between Rhododendron and Timberline and back I used all purpose in standard ride height
Leg 1 (to trip) - Started at 66% SOC and arrived at 40% SOC
35.2 miles
1.17 mi/kWh
30 kWh used
leg 2 (return trip) started at 40% SOC (got up to 42% SOC) and arrived home at 37% SOC
35.7 miles
17.87 mi/kWh
2 kWh used
Overall 2.23 mi/kWh
A couple of observations in general I noticed on the trip:
The trip meter doesn’t give correct information when you have gained energy via regen. I watched the trip meter go from 2kWh used to 1kWh used to 0kWh used then back up to 1kWh and 2kWh used. The trip meter didn’t appear to understand that wasn’t consumed but gained energy.
Auto High Beams work pretty well, turn off a bit closer then some other drivers may appreciate. I also blinded someone That passed my on a 4 lane part of the highway. They didn’t turn off until he had completely passed me and the car could see the other cars taillights. I suppose this could be fixed by adding some logic to turn them off when someone drives into your blindspot.
