R1T Range Report - From San Diego to LA

[Davis]

Pleased to report I took my R1T on a trip from San Diego to LA. Started with a full charge at 326 miles, went 244 round trip and still had 54 miles left! Very happy to get 90% of advertised mileage driving @ 75-80 mph the majority of the time.

Awesome! Which wheels do you have, and were you mainly on Conserve mode?

Just curious which wheels do you have and do you have the off-road package?

 

[Davis]

no off road package, 21” wheels with highway tires!

So AT -10% (270 miles) and 22" -5% (285 miles)

That sound about right?

Yep but OOS Kyle was able to get closer to 290 in Conserve on the 20" ATs at 70mph.

The Road tires make a big difference. As a fellow southern Californian - thanks for the report!

Conserve mode?

The question is what mode @Davis was driving at. Even if he was at conserve mode, getting 300 miles at 75-80 mph is more than 10 miles better than Kyles 290 range. If Davis was at standard mode, he could probably get 340+ miles with conserve at 70 mph.

Just curious to see what percent improvement in efficiency "Conserve" modes provides when all other variables are the same.

 

[Davis]

Conserve mode?

Yes for sure!

Thanks for the report. (I'm eagerly awaiting my R1T). I live in San Diego and do go to LA periodically. So it didn't force you to stop and charge along the way? I usually have to stop on my way back in my Model Y to charge up a bit.

No I did not see any reason for a bump charge as my trip meter was at 244 total with 54 miles of range left!
What range are you getting with the Y?

Reports indicate Conserve mode can be a "rough" ride. I'm still leaning towards the 21" for the 98% of my driving. Planning on eventually purchasing a set of 20" for the 2% off-roading I'll be doing.

The nice weather/temps also probably helped.
