I kinda feel for the guy that's literally single digit feet from the charger and can't move the truck to charge. That would blow.

Should have turned the radio off 100 feet earlier.

Same, but also, is he even in low height mode?

If I were ever that close I would absolutely have stopped and dropped my trailer 5 miles from the charger even though that's a pain. If anyone happens to find a post about that low range I'd love more details on the expected range vs reality.

There's been reports from people with the standard Rivian battery that has dropped the range precipitously from 10% to dead far quicker than should be expected.

As someone who arrived pulling a trailer with our Sierra at 4% after it could barely keep speed climbing the hill to get there, I sort of understand the concern/issues here. I'm probably going to re-evaluate my low battery decisions under cold weather situations.

But if this happens to me, I'm going to drop the trailer and do a vehicle reboot to see if it can convince the vehicle to move again.

That's actually been identified as a software glitch, and they've been reaching out to standard pack owners telling them to essentially ensure they stay above 20% due to the inconsistent BMS reporting below that that SOC.

What's the glitch? Is the vehicle estimating the overall capacity is much greater than should even be possible with the Standard pack or what?

edited the post and added a source with some background and Rivian confirmation.

Seems like it's a lack of understanding about how LFP calibration works. If you have an LFP battery that's consistently recharged before depleting a significant portion of the pack, the BMS still isn't going to have any idea of the real capacity. Just based on voltage, LFP has an enormous amount of uncertainty about energy remaining when compared to NMC. Both chemistries start to dive in the last 10%, but LFP is effectively flat from like 98% to 10%. Like 3.3V to 3.2V per cell. NMC is more like 4.15V to 3.4V per cell for the same percentages.

Like, how did that happen? “Just keep backing up the wire”

Yeah, that makes sense. What you get is 180 + (x * 360) degree spin. That must have been fun. I agree with the driver, if I think I’m going to hit that pole, I wouldn’t want to watch.

Next question-do you think it’s totaled?

I have a funny CT story. We went up to WI, where my wife is from, this past week for gun deer season. My wife is from a tiny town, think 100 or so people. We brought my mother-in-law back with us for Thanksgiving. On the drive back home, we spotted a CT. As usual, my wife and I complained about how ugly it was every time we saw it.

My wife's mom said that someone in town over purchased one. When she first saw it, she thought someone had built it in their garage and was trying to make an ugly tank thing. She had no idea what it was, which makes it funny that her instinct was that it was a home-built project.
