Brief background: Long time Tesla driver here, making the conversion to an R1T. After waiting about two years, I am scheduled to pick up my Rivian next weekend!
Meanwhile, I am already starting to feel something I never felt in a Tesla: range anxiety. Tesla makes it really, really easy to plan a trip. Punch in an address in the Nav and it tells you exactly what to do: Where to stop; how long until your next stop; it even tells you when you can stop charging at any given stop based on the final destination.
It appears that Rivian offers a similar concept, but does it work? Can you rely on the Rivian nav to point you in the right direction for the best charging options, or do you have to rely on a third party app?
My Rivian guide actually suggested A Better Route Planner. I have been playing with the web based version (not sure if there is an iPhone app) and I find it a bit user unfriendly. Is this your go-to for planning a trip?
My first trip would be from the factory in Normal to St. Louis, which is about 180 miles.
