R2 range based on ABRP (implied highway ranges)

[djplong]

It's pretty variable in my Model 3. 65mph, steady, mild/warm - I burn ~240 Wh/mi. Drafting a bus or semi? I can get that down under 200 (<225 easily). Driving lazily around local/secondary roads is 160-180. In the rain on the highway? That's more like 280-310. And I've noticed, cruise control gives a boost. When driving manually you have a lot of tiny adjustments that have you going slower/faster by 5mph or so. Cruise nails it better, keeping it steadier and, as a result, more efficient.

Full disclosure - this is a 2018 Model 3 with 144K miles on it.

other than most of us here don't have an R2 yet, and won't for a while?

I misunderstood the thread, I didn't note it was a hypothetical discussion.
With that, why do we care about 3rd party data about the vehicle? I understand that ABRP/Plugshare/Google Maps/Apple Maps/etc can be used for planning but once we have the vehicle I understand Rivian Nav to be very good, one reason why I am choosing Rivian over my EV6, why not use it?

Rivian owns ABRP...

ABRP now has Rivian R2 specs loaded, and the implied highway ranges are interesting:

21” R2
65 mph: ~300 miles
70 mph: ~255 miles
75 mph: ~225 miles

20” R2
65 mph: ~270 miles
70 mph: ~225 miles
75 mph: ~205 miles

R2 appears to be speed-sensitive, and the 21” setup may have ~25 miles more range than the 20” setup at highway speeds

So at 75 mph using 70% of battery will net usable range of 158 miles (21”) vs 143 miles (20”)

The delta of only 15 miles is pretty insignificant, so in my view the 20” option is the clear winner here.

At what outside temperatures were the results achieved? And should higher or lower results be expected on either side of the temperature spectrum?

You’d have to ask ABRP/Rivian about their default vs specific assumptions…but I did just add a cross-country trip LAX-JFK, it suggest 100% range at 65 mph is 288 miles.
