Elevation Change? That's got to be a record of all time!

[SerrikVorrik]

I was browsing over on Rivian Roamer to see what vehicles were getting for efficiency etc on the leader boards. I know things aren't perfect with API and information reporting. I do however wonder what could have happened to cause this record to happen.

That looks like what happens when you turn GPS off, change locations, then turn it back on. Reporting starts before the GPS fix is updated. Once it's updated, you get wonky data like that.

See it all the time on my Garmin watch. I keep GPS turned off to save hte battery. Bored on an airplane I turned it on to see what it was reading. Turned it back after that curious cat was killed. Tracked a bicycle ride a few days later and had an absurdly high top speed. It was the first few frames of data recorded with the "old" position fix.

I think someone air-shipped their Rivian.

Looks like bad telemetry. I do have corruption detection, will look into this case.

so, THATS how I make it to the top of the leaderboard on Strava!

Sorry! I was just poking fun at what I assumed was a glitch and fun data. No harm.

Oh, I assumed so

50% of Rivian Roamer's code is working around really bad data from Rivian

 

[SerrikVorrik]

Only 50%?

Only 50%?

I'm trying to be nice in case Rivian is looking.

Seems physically impossible to drop 3 miles in altitude and only record 0.3 miles of distance. Definitely something screwed up somewhere.

There's probably a dozen possible reasons, here's a few random that come to mind:
- intentional mischief, hah!
- GPS Hardware replacement and initialization
- Anomaly caused during an OTA
- as Rivian states it "an extremely rare" software/firmware bug
- vehicle was shipped overseas and affected by Russian GPS spoofing, lol

Simple. It was dropped out of a cargo plane.

Plausible, but that wouldn't make the wheels turn at all so should be 0 miles.
