E.A. saves Rivian…AGAIN!

[ksurfier]

QM - 20” OEM wheels - 65/75 MPH Tests

saw that it was a balmy 39F this morning…put on my parka and hit the road in conserve mode…

Air Density: 1.28 kg/m3 (104%)
Weight: F-3100#; R-4000#

Round 1: 65 mph (GPS) - 2.31 MPK
made it to the Electrify America station to get those $$$ electrons…hit 180 kw and added 22 miles (AP), $0.35 each…(16 mpge, ouch!):

Round 2: 75 mph (GPS) - 1.80 MPK

100% Conserve Range:
at 65 MPH: ~290 miles
at 70 MPH: ~260 miles
at 75 MPH: ~230 miles

E.A. definitely saved this Rivian from paying cheap kWh rates…but the mesmerizing glowing green lights made up for it.

75/65 mph:

Quite lucky you didn't get stranded.

Jealous of those efficiencies... this winter has been brutal. I definitely had to pay EA a heavy price...

Informative and well played trolling. Top tier post. My only disappointment is no mention of Tesla.

Just don’t stare at that green light too long. I heard it exerts a form of mind control.

60+ psi?

He got those LTs…
65/80 psi max

#jjswan33 which tires?

I have these, they will take up to 80psi. Also I have a set of Nokian's in the same size for winter.

My truck is 8000 lbs dry which is why I run LTs/higher pressure and also correlates to my abysmal efficiency

You could consider the 285/55R20 (32.4”) size…save 10# and get a little bit better range/MPK…nice and wide too:

I need someone to try this with ChargePoint…
