Picked up a new log splitter yesterday and on the way home went down a small mountain. Got my best efficiency ever (6.04). I am sure people living in the Rockies get it higher but for me on the east side I feel that is pretty good.
what is your best efficiency???

It's been my experience that the displayed number on the efficiency graph maxes out at 10.02, and I've had it straight line max out at that before:rock:. I hope in future software update Rivian will allow regen for longer when the battery is cooler than 90 degrees, because I still get reduced regen too often!

wow, 10 is crazy. Don’t think we have along enough downhill on the northeast to do that.

Today on I70 going to Denver my efficiency graph stayed maxed out for about 10 minutes because traffic was slow.

I get confused when people are actually getting ∞ mi/kWh but are excited about seeing the screen number hit 10.

But yes come to the Rockies and on i70 you can go 40+ miles with zero net energy use.
