1,200 mile ultimate Rivian R1S Family Road Trip to Acadia National Park with kids and dog - Part 4

In the 4th and final part of our massive Rivian R1S adventure, we left Acadia and Bar Harbor and drove back down to NJ, stopping to charge at Tesla Superchargers, Rivian Adventure Network in Kittery, and at Treehouse Brewing. We experienced the first ever hiccup with the RAN chargers (user error) and saw the most Rivian vehicles ever charging at the same time.

Thanks for sharing. Making family memories that will last everyone forever, that is what life is all about. Rock on from Michigan!

[@DrKellieOwczarczak]

My kids and I also made a trip to Acadia in May 2022 in my Taycan. It was the one time that I actually had range anxiety as there were only L2 chargers in and around Bar Harbor and no L3 fast chargers for 100+ miles. It was definitely rough.

[@jackchn23]

Those tree lined roads brought back memories, we used to do summer vacations there when I was a kid.

[@Eventurefamily]

It's so incredible there. It's only been a month and I'm ready to drive up again!

[@jeffreygeiger3824]

Love the matte screen protectors, just placed an order, thanks!

[@Eventurefamily]

Hope you like it!

Maple in the latte...take that vanilla latte

[@Eventurefamily]

Every time I go up north I am reminded just how awesome maple is!

[@junehanzawa5165]

Just how useful has the Supercharger access been to your road trips? I saw you using them at least twice. I take it there were no other DCFS options around that area and they bailed you out?

[@Eventurefamily]

I've used them a bunch now with the Rivian. I'd generally say they have been great options to have and we've used them when they are more convenient. This is usually because their locations are better than other DCFC. Tesla overall seems to do better with being less of a detour from the highway and putting chargers in where there are more restaurant options that work better with the whole family. On this trip especially, we used the Rivian ones where we could, but Tesla everywhere else because they lined up better with our needs to stop and eat. None really bailed us out as we had other options, they were just a more optimal location for us.
