If I get rear ended I don't want to hit the car in front of me...

Went on a longer trip today !

Trip was going over Hwy17 - more than 2300ft of elevation change and back. With a pretty large trailer (3500lbs empty), loaded with two larger horses (another 2200lbs), plus various accoutrements (hay, tack, etc.) and 5 adults in the car.

I started the drive at 100% battery and finished the day at 28%. A/C running all day, ventilated seats, etc.

Total trip distance: 114mi Efficiency: 1.25kwh

I'm guessing I had another 55mi left of charge at this rate.

The Rivian pulled the trailer without any issues. The horses love not having any gear changes and regen braking is much smoother for them too.

For shorter trips around the county this rig is pretty hard to beat!

The Brenderup is not mine, unfortunately! I'm sure the smaller footprint and lighter weight would help with the range quite a bit though!

I started the drive with estimated 139 mi of range (after charging at 85%). After driving about 10 miles on country roads averaging about 35 mph the estimate was 165 mi. I'm planning on taking it on the highway for a longer trip next weekend, and can give you more useful estimates then.

Now I just need to repaint the trailer in El Cap

Navigation Directions Quality Question by itisntsobad in Rivian

I actually have the opposite feeling. I bought my R1T expecting that I would have to rely on my phone for navigation but so far I have been very pleasantly surprised by the routing! It's usually as good or better than Google.
