This truck loves traffic (kwh/Mile)

You can always check and see if you have the wires run. I wasn't expecting my Pro to have them and it did, which made the installation much quicker and easier

How do I know if I have the wires?

How do I know if I have the wires?

Easiest way is to pull the frunk tub, frunk trim, plastic upper bumper cover and check the harness behind the bumper. This question isn't for this thread but all the information is located in the OP.

Sorry, I know it's off topic for the thread, but wouldn't it be easier to check c265 and see if the wires are there?

What wires, is this for Lane centering? I have a Pro model and I'd love to get a little more out of it if it has the wiring harness for it, definitely don't want to cut or splice... Got a picture of the wiring that was there in your Pro and if possible please explain what you did and what it added to your truck?
Thanks...

Slowing down helps, but a HUGE factor is the traffic. Get it out on the open road with no one ahead of you and see what you get. At 65 I get about 1.7 unless there is a tailwind.

At 65-70mph on open fairly flat road I easily get 2.2 mile/kwh in temperatures that require no heat, adding heat it drops to 1.8-1.9

Being in the Carolinas I'm getting about the same at 65-70 about 2.2-2.3kwh/mile in both Winter-current temps. Granted I've only had it since January and would precondition the battery/cabin and only use the heated seat after unplugging and leaving the house.

Completely agree with your original post. My normal 25 mile commute gives me 2.4-2.6 mi/kwh with 70/30 highway/city driving this time of year (no heat). Monday there was an accident on the highway so to avoid it I drove "city driving" pretty much the whole way to work and got 3.3 mi/kwh

I recently added lane centering and ACC and am loving it my 23' XLT SR. This thing sips power in rush hour traffic and does all the highway driving for me. I typically average 2.8-3.1 kwh/mile to and from work. I've managed to average 2.5 for the lifetime of my ownership starting in January by precondition the battery and truck cabin during the winter temps.

Agree completely, with praise of Lane Centering (not “Lane Keeping,” which is outdated tech). Copilot 360 Assist (and not “Active”) is the sweet spot, imho, available in XLT Hi and Lariat Low: you get everything but hands-off (Bluecruise), and on any road with lane markings! (Rivian can’t do that) CoPilot Assist is functionally equivalent to basic Tesla Autopilot (Tesla drivers take note), but adds Speed Sign Recognition to automatically adjust cruise setting.

I own a Lariat ER and a Tesla MS. The Tesla reads speed signs too. I actually prefer the Tesla autopilot but use BC too. Don’t know what to do with my hands when driving BC.

I confirmed my PRO simply by removing the driver side cabin corner piece.... bottom two wires on both sides... (see attached instructions)

At 65-70mph on open fairly flat road I easily get 2.2 mile/kwh in temperatures that require no heat, adding heat it drops to 1.8-1.9

I just did 1200 miles in the last 48 hours With the OBD connected with ABRP and my reference at 65mph recalibrated to 2.56mi/kWh.

Unfortunately I was doing 80-90mph for most of it and the dash showed 1.6mi/kWh.

For reference of how exponential the aero penalty is, I got 1.3-1.6mi/kWh with a 8000lb Hi Lo trailer in tow at 70mph.
