2025.18.01 installing! Have you received the update?

That's crazy man, what part of this is confusing exactly?

I find 0.11 kWh/min very confusing. 6.6 kW makes a lot more sense (and is mathematically identical). Why are the dividing the power by 60 minutes per hour? And to make it even more confusing if you change the current drive to last hour the units change to an even dumber unit: kWh/5min.

I also don't know how you could use the anything on that page to figure out if you are going to make it to the charger that is xx miles away which is the #1 concen of anyone driving an EV further than one charge.

Perhaps you can explain it to me. Based on that screen would you make it to a charger that is 200 miles away?

And if this isn't to help with range anxiety what is it for? What is a practical use of 0.11 kWh/min?

If I speed up and see my consumption goes up it still doesn't tell me anything useful. Without distance (or speed) on the chart there is no way of knowing if the portion of your drive where you got 0.5 kWh/min was more ore less efficient than the portion where you got 0.1 kWh/min. You used 1/5 the energy but if you traveled 1/10th the distance then that is actually worse.

So this is a case of you getting confused over too much information, I got it. I'd agree that it's Rivian's biggest problem.

Go for a drive, turn on WiFi?

No WiFi in my apartment garage, unfortunately. Not sure how driving around expedites a software update but FWIW in the garage the LTE is four bars strong.

Me neither but some have expressed it does and I have experienced it myself. Good Luck.

Updated earlier today. New energy screens look interesting and I can’t wait to nerd out with them. I like that some of the info is now in the app however it would be great if
1) the app would allow you to toggle the inverter on/off
2) the app would allow you to adjust the amperage without going into the scheduling screen

But the driver display does give us energy/mile (or inverse thereof). So now we have both.

Also, if we’re not going to contemplate “train A left the station at 70mph…” type problems in our heads while we drive for several hours what else are we going to do?!? Make conversation with our families? Preposterous!

edited to add: the answer is (B) The trains efficiency is 103 hexakilowatthours per fortnight.

Dropped last night. Lots of info.

Battery capacity is measured in kWh. kWh/minute gives you an easy to understand measure of how quickly you’re using up your charge. Yes, technically kW would give you the same information, but it adds complexity by changing the units involved from what you’re already using when looking at charging data and SoC.

Looking forward to seeing a 10%ish to 80%ish DC charging curve on a Tri after this update. I won't be able to provide one until the end of the month.

 

[josh0]

This is obviously not a perfect comparison, but I charged yesterday at a Supercharger I’ve used only once before. The charges are a little too far separated in time and weather conditions weren’t the same, but in terms of SoC and kWh added, they’re actually surprisingly close. Definitely saw a much better charge speed yesterday compared to two months ago when I used the same charger.

It‘s probably worth mentioning that not only was it warmer yesterday than before, but the station was significantly busier, with about 6 Teslas charging this time, compared to maybe two or three before.

This made me laugh today

 

[Darkneo]

Still no update here. I have Connect+, been driving around, connected to Wi-Fi. Nothing yet.

Leadfoot, huh?

 

[Wefty]

I got it. Had to repair both phones and lost all saved addresses.

Can someone make a sticker of this Gary face, so I can put it my rear window. It pretty much is the same face I make every time I take off and see the angry look my wife gives me!!! Inside I'm smiling, but I can't help but remember the "Chancla" that often got thrown at me growing up....
