On the north shore of Lake Superior in Minnesota.

How are you determining what your battery capacity is? That is not a simple thing to measure.

The OP's numbers are in line with my observations. BTW: 19F is a mild afternoon high in my part of the country. "Brutal" doesn't come into the conversation until the afternoon highs are -5F...

I 2nd the praise for the MN service center. In my case I guess I should say delivery center because I've picked up 2 vehicles but have rarely had service issues beyond the early days suspension bolt torquing where they met me in the parking lot, did their work, and I was on my way in a couple...

I count 4 data points.... Now 5, I just added one from a trip 2 days ago. The data is pretty consistent across all modes/Gen1 and 2. Extrapolate to colder weather if you need to. Regarding the convergence of the All Purpose and Conserve at colder temperatures. I don't know the answer but...

This is the data I've collected over the last 2.5 years. This is traveling the same route over and over. 40% of drive at 70mph freeway and 60% at 60mph state highways with many small town slowdowns.

On the engineering front, which I know a little about, Sandy is pretty much Captain Obvious with a massive chip on his shoulder. His videos are very hard to watch.

https://www.cnbc.com/2025/01/03/rivian-meets-2024-vehicle-production-target.html Rivian Automotive’s 2024 vehicle production and deliveries were in line with the company’s previously announced expectations. The electric vehicle maker on Friday said it produced 49,476 vehicles last year...

My Gen2 R1T. 48 hrs unplugged at 70% SOC in a cold MN garage. 48 hrs later it was 69%. Consumption meter showed 0 kWh used. I plugged it in to get back to 70%. Took 8 minutes and truck UI said 1.3 kWh of power was delivered to the battery. So a loss of about 0.6 kWh per day.

I've had both a Gen 1 and Gen 2 R1T. In my experience and testing they charge nearly the same. I wrote an extensive post on it here; https://www.rivianforums.com/forum/threads/r1t-gen-1-quad-large-vs-gen-2-dual-max-pack-efficiency-and-charging-analysis.37135/ I have not tried charging after...

I drive long distances in rural areas of Northern MN and Wisconsin in temperatures around 0 deg F all the time. Just be aware of reduced range but really no big deal.

Can’t say no to that. I’ll take 2.

I watched Hundreds of hours of OutOfSpec videos (That's about 2 or 3 videos ;)) The best line of the week. Made me chuckle.

I also think the battery temps are different this winter. I have yet to notice any change in efficiency but need a little more drive time in cold weather to say for sure.

Hmm…. By my math it is $6.90 per gallon equivalent if the ICE vehicle gets 20 mpg (a vehicle in same class as a Rivian and the Rivian gets 2mile/kwh). Still a lot but not close to $23.

Rivian should put a station in Hayward. I see WAY MORE Rivians in Hayward than in, say, Holbrook NM where I was in April on my way to and from Sedona.

I have a cabin in Hayward, WI. I make the drive frequently form Minneapolis. As bad as the charging infrastructure is it has expanded 3x in just the 2 years I’ve owned a Rivian. PS. Get familiar with the ZEF network. For better or worse…….

I really, really want one....... The phone thing works 90% of the time, not nearly good enough and is really annoying to stand around and wait for.

Yes, that works. You have to manually trigger it and figure out the timing. Have the charging session finish just before you leave.
