SF Bay Area Rivian Club

I just got my R1S last week and I'm new to EV so I'm still trying to get a feel for how far the car can go without recharging.

I'm thinking of attempting to do the "4x4 lost coast trail" following the route in the Overland guide - https://www.overlandtrailguides.com/post/lost-coast-adventure-route

Just curious if anyone has attempted it and if so, where did they end up charging?

Congrats on the R1S! I'd recommend acquainting yourself with the Rivian app Planner. I used this on a recent trip from SF Bay to Calgary, Canada and it worked quite well. Just enter your destination, your starting parameters (location and SOC), and how much charge you wish to have on arrival. Only caveat is that you should confirm 3rd party charger status with their individual apps since the Rivian app does not always show up-to-date status of 3rd party chargers.

The weekend after I got my Rivian, I took it up to Mt. Shasta and used ABRP to map everything out and I pretty much stuck to it. I noticed that ABRP was a bit conservative in terms of the energy that I had left when I arrived at the destination (but I was also driving in conserve mode).

For this trip, however, most of it, I *think* I'll be driving most on dirt roads and maybe crossing some streams. Maybe do some driving on sand too, so off road mode? Not sure how much that affects the battery (vs driving in all purpose).
