Made a 275 mile loop today up into the chilly Colorado mountains (had to see a man about a cat).
Climbed from 5,830' via Leadville 10,151' down to Frisco 9,097 all in mid to low 30 degree temperatures and on and off snow flurries. Started with a 100% charge which was 297 mi range in Conserve mode - that turned into starting at 294 mi after losing 3 overnight. Stopped at EA charger in Frisco with 68 miles after roughly 195 miles of cold travel. Ended up being about 10% less than expected range which seemed pretty good to me considering the conditions.
One of the 350kW chargers gave an error saying the charger was 'limited' and the best I saw was 12kW (!) so i moved to the 150 kW tower as a Taycan had the other 350kW. Got about 120kW there and quickly added enough miles to comfortably get back home. Charger delays are primarily due to the many people coming up and wanting to talk and see the R1T.
Passed another LG R1T on my way down from Leadville which was cool.
Very impressed with the comfort and range of the R1T right out of the gate. Excited to see software updates and improvements with the battery management and Driver+. When I think about our Model S back when we got it in 2017, the R1T is off to a better start. The Model S software is much better now of course, but Rivian should be on a fast path to improvements.
