I just beat the Rivian nav App!

[Rknb2000]

I did a trip from Pooler GA to Greenville SC. (Adventure network to adventure network, retired Army in a budget). Tried to get app to allow all purpose mode for the 255 mile trip, even after charging to 99% (316 miles). It kept saying I had to stop in Columbia SC to charge. I have never used Conserve (347 miles), but tried to have the app use conserve for the trip. Once again it stated I had to stop in Columbia, both showing 36 miles upon arrival. So I did it anyway. Approx. 200 miles in conserve. (Factors and info: Drove 60mph the whole way, zero traffic, sprinkled once for 15 min. tire pressure 48psi, I95-I26 I95 flat (3.15 avg) I26 rolling small hills (2.80), temps 61-70, zero preconditioning evening having AN in the nav. Wind calm-4mph. 2023 R1T, with spare, 180lb person, 300lb camping gear. Drive done early in the morning, but would like to state once the sun came up my efficiency to started to drop significantly.) I was getting 2.80 avg on I26 until sun came up, which dropped to 2.67. Overall 2.9 efficiency. Zero stops, but did accidentally go 5 miles out of way.

Sorry forgot one thing! When I switched off conserve to all purpose. It showed I had 106 miles remaining I could drive, with what I drove at the time that would add up to 366 miles in conserve, my full charge in reserve is 347.(19 more miles, not bad!)

Yeap this app needs some improvement. I think it is in the setting of remaninng charges that you need to lower it to 5% instead of 20%. We do the Dallas to Norman Oklahoma often about 190 miles. When our battery said we have 250 miles, it kept saying we need stop somewhere in the middle.

Welcome to Greenville! I made it from the Hilton Head area (St. Helena Island) back to Greenville in April starting with ~85% charge. It also kept telling me to stop in Columbia but I just kept my speeds near the speed limit and I was perfectly fine in conserve mode.

The NAV by default will get you to your destination with 20% SOC. Tesla's NAV defaults to 10%. I have mine set to 10% as I feel that is enough of a buffer. With it set to 20% is likely the reason it wanted you to charge. That's some great efficiency though!

I have also noticed the nav consistently overestimates my energy usage on longer trips. For 200+ mile trips it usually estimates I will end with ~30 miles less range than I actually end up with.

As a note, I usually drive about 5-10mph over the speed limit, so it's not like I'm really trying to hypermile.

The nav also way overestimates for me too. I typically drive 70 and the nav is usually off by about 50 miles. It does recalculate as you get close to the destination, but other than that, nav estimate is worthless for me. the Guess-o-meter on the driver dash is pretty accurate though. I use that instead.

Why do you think efficiency dropped when the Sun came out?

In the phone app, I can find the setting for charge remaining at destination. But I can't find a way to change this in the car when navigating to a destination.
Is this setting adjustable in the car?

I'm not sure on how to do that either, but you can plan on the app then send it to the car. That is what I do.

I susally drive with a lot of elevation sea level to over 7400', then back down to 6200'. The Nav is spot on with this drive whereas the guess-0-meter is way off. I can leave Sac with 85% SoC and the guess-0-meter tells me about 243 miles (20 ATs) and the Nav will tell me 103 miles range left at my destination - which is 100 miles away.

If you start driving anywhere with serious elevation gain, then it seems the Nav is pretty accurate.

I am not really sure that is the reason it dropped, it was the only thing different I noticed. ( No traffic, temp same, driving same speed. Can’t really answer that)
