Rivian R1T - 10,000 Mile Real World Range Test

[@UP-To-The-Time]

Thanks for the video. Great information

[@EV-365]

Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching!

A little disappointing with real-range, considering the low average speed and ideal outdoor temps. Hopefully improvements in the future !

[@EV-365]

Thanks for watching! Would have liked to have gotten closer to the EPA range as well, but I think it would have gotten there if it were a single drive. That's why I like to do these "real world" range tests to get an idea of how it does on a more varied trip. Still happy with over 300 miles projected out since that would get me to 99% of the places I would want to get to on single charge, and I would normally charge overnight, or hit a fast charger while everyone gets ready in the morning.

That range is awesome for a 3 sec pickup truck.

[@EV-365]

Yes, even for not getting quite what the EPA range is stated to be, I am happy with anything over 300. I can get to 99% of the places I need to get to on that.

But you should only charge to 80 and not go below 20 to maintain battery health - pretty much all EVs.

[@stevenwillis957]

When you stopped, you said you had 58% and in the morning you said it was at 56% and that no drain had occurred. Did you mis-state the charge the previous night?

[@EV-365]

Yes! Thanks for pointing that out! The eyes are starting to go!! Those 6's and 8's are one in the same these days! Ha! So a little bit of drain over night. Much better than when I first got the Rivian.
