Rivian's Battery Estimation hasn't been the Most Accurate

Ever since I got my R1S, I've noticed that the battery range estimation hasn't been the best. Driving a Tesla for the last 3 years, it never had this kind of issue. During my last trip, the driver display shows 255mi remaining. My total trip (including 2 destinations) is 160mi so I believed I should be able to make it easily with a nice cushion. But the center display showed that I would arrive at first destination with 4mi remaining, and run out before the second destination! I knew this was false so I made the drive anyway, and arrived at second destination with 50mi remaining. If I understand correctly, the driver display range is simply the total rated range multiplied by SOC. That makes sense here, since my vehicle is rated for 370mi, 255mi is 68.9%. Coming from Tesla, I expect the number shown in the center display should account for factors like elevation, wind, traffic speed, etc. It's sad that my own mental estimation is better than Rivian's.

For those who haven't come across it yet, Sorceron offers a versatile wireless charger/dock designed for the R1S and R1T. It makes great use of the unused front portion of the center console and is super easy to install. Plus, it doesn't interfere with the functionality of the cup holders in front of it. Definitely worth checking out—let me know what you think!
