Bummer;
You can do trip planning on a Laptop at www.plugshare.com. Some of the trip summary outputs are better for me in the web version, like full trip elevation profiles with charging stops highlighted like this;
There are numerous threads about what is the best route planner. ABRP or Rivian nav etc. My favorite, by far, is PlugShare trip planner. Not many people seem to be aware of it so I’ll give an example here and point out why I like it.
This example is a trip I may do soon from Missoula, MT to...
Efficiency is not a single number. It varies greatly with the speed and temperature. The EPA number is not the Highway range number people often compare to.
I can get an efficiency at 3.0 mi/kwh on my R1T Quad driving on a mix of interstate, rural highway and city roads that is more...
I at nearly 50,000 miles already and climbing quick. Warranty ending soon. That dual-max is looking attractive, if the range numbers turn out to be accurate.

I have a Gen 1 Quad R1T in Minnesota and...
It is impossible to tell just from range figures. Need to know how much energy was consumed or was put into the battery from empty to full.
this is a test I ran recently...

There are some wacky posts on this thread about how heat pumps cool the cabin vs air conditioners. The reality is, they are the same in cooling mode.
I got an early build quad R1T two years ago and it’s been awesome . By this fall I will be at 60,000 miles. Basic warranty expires at 70,000 60,000. The Gen 2 release has me thinking seriously of a trade in for a new R1T. Don’t think I would be thinking that way without the updates.
