I recently saw screenshots of Lightning energy usage after a day's drive. It showed battery usage broken down into four categories:
Climate use​
Driving​
Accessories​
Exterior Temperature​
I believe "Exterior Temperature" is warming the battery; the data was for extreme winter driving. (-19F to 20F)
The breakdown for a morning drive, starting out from a somewhat warmed space, was
11%Climate use​
75% Driving​
1% Accessories​
13% Exterior Temperature​
An afternoon drive on the same day after being parked outside showed
24% Climate use​
52% Driving​
2% Accessories​
22% Exterior Temperature​
Is there a way to get a similar breakdown for the R1T/R1S?

As a former MachE owner … that info isn’t terribly useful.

I’d put it low on the request list for Rivian engineers.

Why do you say it's not terribly useful? The difference in battery warming is dramatic between outside and inside parking, as is the amount used for climate control. If one is concerned about range, understanding how those affect range seems pretty useful. In this case, one could decide whether or not to warm the cabin or just use the heated seats, and how much. I would certainly like to have a gut feel / seat-of-the-pants idea for what kind of a hit I'm going to take by turning on cabin warming.

Not 100% the same, but look at the session data in the Energy app. Only let's you know the breakdown for a charging session though.

I thought of that already; it doesn't tell you anything about what happened while you were driving. As you said, it only reports usage while you were charging.
