100K miles and still running like new

[Noah Arc]

Battery shows 126Kw capacity (my calculation)
Few software issues that I learned to live with
Need to replace my windshield the fourth (4) time.

THE ONLY BIG ISSUE IS THE DROP IN RESIDUAL VALUE.

How’s the interior holding up?

I'm glad you are enjoying your Rivian!

With 100,000 miles and 40,000 kWh used, your efficiency is an impressive 2.50, not the dismal 1.04. Why is the Trip Meter so wrong?

Trip meter includes energy used for non-driving functionality as well, I believe (HVAC vehicle subsystems, etc).

That may be so but I doubt it's 1.5x times more energy for HVAC etc, more than driving. Trip meter has been messed up for awhile now.

The mil per kw calculation is a software glitch. I've tried having rivian look at it years ago but they never really got it fixed.
As to the interior condition it holding good. I keeps the vehicle cool during the day...it's 100⁰ in Los Angeles this week.
The truck is connected to a charger constantly so the AC work off the grid.
I rarely charge to more than 85% and almost never fast charging.
Last night session was 66.5 kw for 53% so the battery is still hold 126kw out of the 131kw original condition.

Good to know. I only worry about the seat foam. I have 40k on mine and it already feels like it’s breaking down. The Range Rover I had before this lasted 13yrs before I replaced it. Granted the captains chair in that was a bit more LazyBoy-esque.

Congratulations! What was your tire history/experience?

Or it could be related to vampire drain.

What's up with that? Are you constantly smashing into things?

You have obviously never driven on Oregon roads. Flying rocks appear in flocks like seagulls.

It must be the quality of the glass
My old Tundra has 250K same freeways around Los Angeles, same driving style NOT EVEN ONE CRACK....

On my second set. Original tires lasted about 60K. Currently using KO2's and still having enough for another 20K.
All of this despite towing heavy AC units frequently.
