Had the extreme luck to score a friend's AirBnB a weekend ago to catch that 20+ inches of Snow at Sugarloaf. My first venture from Portland area past Augusta ... and it went quite well! Especially during the storm ... held the road great, and while I did have 2 moments of control loss, wow, the 4 independent wheels bit right in again ( I was in Snow mode).
The Hannaford's at Farmington ChargePoints worked well and is a very convenient place to have to chill for a bit. Was able to top off enough for the whole weekend there. And upon return was able to again top off enough to drive straight home.
While in Carrabasett Valley, they have installed a few Level 2 chargers at lot E, called The Switch, and there is one ChargePoint level 2 at the Outdoor center.
This bring up the need for the manually triggered Battery Precondition request as none of these were on the Rivian Maps yet, and my battery was pretty cold as it spent the night on a snow drift
While not needed, I might have.
Loving my R1S in the winter! This vehicle is so awesome.
