NO Vampire drain since 2023.30.0

[AlanP]

My R1S has been sitting at the service center untouched for 23 days. It went from 22% to 2% and then from 82% to 80% over the last couple of days. I wouldn’t trust the accuracy of the percentage so I would assume the drain is similar.

Has anyone else experienced this....
My T has been idle for months since i had to leave it in FL while in the northeast this summer.

Probably a dumb question, but why didn't you take it with you?. I know I was counting the days before we got ours.

Maybe I spoke too soon. Parked the truck with 58% last night with 21.8 kWh used showing on the trip meter. Almost 12 hours later, still showing 58% and 21.8 kWh used while unplugged. Maybe they did make a change?

I've seen hugh improvement as well. The drain was significant prior to the last updates. I was losing about 3 miles a day. Now I am losing about a mile a day so yeah they really fixed the issue this time around.

Glad some of you are seeing good results with the latest update...I am not.

Only had the truck for a month, but this sucks. I tried to do as clean of a test as possible yesterday. I park unlocked in my garage. Key fob is disabled (no battery), Rivian phone app closed (with location settings off), no gear guard, no Alexa. Car stayed silent and didn't "wake-up" at all (no ambient lighting) when I was in/out of the garage, so feel good it was as "off" as it could be. Lost 4% in 34 hours. What could possibly be eating up >5kwh, that's insane.

Makes me wonder if some of the "loss" isn't real, its just BMS sway. Others have reported how the BMS isn't very linear on the Rivian. Is the trip meter the best way to get actual kWh used, even while parked/off?

Yeah use the trip meter to see how much energy you lost.

Mine showed a loss of 3-4% a day, unplugged. Then yesterday jumped back up 3% for no reason. Very strange.

Noticed almost NO vampire drain since the latest update. I parked my R1S a few days ago to go to Italy for a month. I took pics to keep note of the mileage. I charged to 73% and it’s still at 73% (369km). I plan to keep an eye on it over the coming weeks but it’s been great so far.

I’ve also noticed while at home that there’s been almost no drain anymore on days I leave it sitting for a day or two.
