R1T report- SF Bay area to Henderson, NV - 537 miles, 67 mph avg, HOT - 2.05 mi/kWh

Was your trip meter only covering the actual drive and not long periods of the trick sitting somewhere? Just curious how much phantom drain may be included.

Current stats.
Bay Area to vegas then to Tucson in very hot weather 87 to 117 with climate set to 65 degrees or less, vented seats on and cruise varying from 72 to 85mph (85 is the max btw).

Yes, it does not add charge time or sitting. Only drive time so it looks like I made amazing time!
Too many charger problems on the Bay Area to vegas leg to get an estimate but will be driving back Tuesday with less issues I hope. My model 3 did that leg in 8.5 hours so will hopefully get a good compare.

Just curious if you did the same drive with your Tesla. If so, what were the differences?I

Well, it does include energy used while sitting. A fun little test is ti reset it when you get home one night, and then look at your energy usage the next day after moving about 4 feet. My lifetime consumption is garbage because my truck does a lot of sitting. Lol.

I’ve done the vegas to Bay Area drive in my model 3. I’ll be doing it in the Rivian this week and hope to compare.

The Barstow EA chargers are at Walmart. I was at one (#7) of the two out front by doors. There are others further back in the lot but guy charging next to me said yhey were all slow.
I tried 5 different ones in Baker but the 350 was being used. There are other 350’s but they are not activated yet.
#1, 3 and 5 gave me problems but #7 gave me 43kW before it shut off at 41% SOC.

Thank you for the update. I’ll save for future reference & add an update when I give it a try.

Seems like pretty reasonable mileage, considering the average speed. Interesting that you didn’t notice any heat from the roof. Some do, some don’t. Hmmm.

The roof is an issue when sitting and charging in full sun....when you are moving it doesn't get too bothersome, IMO.

This is what I have so far, approx 1459 miles, 36mph avg, 2.57 miles/kWh. I'm happy with it : )

Efficiency numbers are fun! Thanks for sharing. I will say that for the longest time when I got my Model S in 2015 I kept trying to baby the throttle and change my driving habits so I could post the lowest efficiency on a Tesla forum. I explained this to my wife and she laughed and said, "Just drive it and enjoy!" Such a revelation and I did and never looked back.

R1T delivery in 2 days and I can't wait for the adventures to begin.
