I'm waiting for my R1T to charge in Truckee. This morning, in Truckee, towing a roughly 5500#, 21' trailer I rented, I charged to 100%. I then drove 68.6 miles to a destination in Auburn about 2 miles from I80. Messed around for about an hour or so in camp mode before heading back toward the same rivian charger. 8 miles from the charger, I dropped the trailer at a pizza joint in hopes of making it to the changing station. W/o trailer, now, approximately 3/4 of a mile before the 7227' summit sign the % gauge went to 0. Moments later, the range gauge went to 0. I had been drafting a semi for a couple of miles at around 38-42mph but as we crested the summit he sped off. I I was unwilling to keep up. Another semi merged onto the highway causing me to slow some but the 6% for 5 miles sign gave me hope. Cruise set at 48, I watched nervously as the range came up to 1, then the percent followed. I pulled up to the charger still with 1 and 1.
This is not the first time I've ditched a trailer to make it to a refill. Supercharged Quadra-steer suburban the first time.
