OP: Driving 60 mph is better than 70 mph, and 50 mph is better than 60 mph, in terms of range. Precondition the battery and it gets better still. Use Conserve mode and it gets better still. Accelerate slowly and you’ll see a little more improvement. Put brake regen on high. Longer trips will...

Excellent, and not surprising that your settings are a sine wave, which is what I always end up with in some form or another, on any system I’m tweaking.

Slick. May I ask how much you paid the boneyard for this part?

Are you using the Shockflo Gmini?

Thanks to all. I learned a thing or two here.

I’ve had my R1S for about three months, and have made numerous trips from MSP area to my cabin in northern WI. For now, I’m charging up north on a wall outlet, but— it’s a 20 amp outlet, a GFI actually, and a 20 amp rated one at that…which I wired with 12/2. And of course it’s on a 20 amp...

Driving any Porsche at 55 for hours on end would be the most life-sucking, stress-inducing, joy-killing thing, a guy could ever do.

I’m in Blaine and Connexus Energy is 6.9 cents off-peak with their separate meter. How in the heck are you getting juice at half of that??

@ThumprMN having only had my R1S for a couple months, I’ve never charged anywhere but home. So, anywhere will be a new experience for me. Prefer north side of metro though.

I’ve got time and would love to do it. Ideas for date/time?

I disagree. OP asked a question, which was answered by several people, but each answer added a new layer of info. Secondly, Google is now a cesspool of selling you stuff. Then there’s the ubiquitous supply of “people also asked” replies, which are almost universally answered by AI, and often...

Excellent report. What’s the pricing been like when you charge? Average price per kWh … or are most stops priced on time at the charger?

Super useful stats. Thank you.

Boy, did Toyota ever phone it in with that thing.

Been there. Hell, at 110, you’re in everyone’s way. Stay outta that left lane!

I was hauling stuff in the vehicle, including the passenger seat, and I didn’t want it dinging or beeping at me til kingdom come. And I knew since I’d only had the car for three days, that if it did that it would take me a week to figure out how to shut the damn thing off.

It’s actually been bullet-proof. And it is positively sublime to drive.

If I want to drive 110, I’ll take my Jaguar XK out. Wait, it’s being stored for the winter. Crap!

Not exactly the same I don’t think. Vampire drain is when everything is off, and you’re losing a tiny bit of juice each day. In my case, it was the seatbelt being fastened, and I lost almost 20% in one day. Different, and vastly worse.

That would suck. Why not just stream from the phone then? True satellite is a godsend when driving across the plains states. I got all excited for a moment there.
