I didn't read the whole thread, sorry.

Did it come with those Atomic wheels or did you add them? Looks great!

No they were on my previous truck.

What are the last numbers on your VIN after all the zeros? That'll tell you what number your truck was off the assembly line. My Green Machine VIN ends in 573. I think they were still hand tightening bolts at that early phase! There's a couple different things you can learn from that, like the earlier models came with two 12 v batteries.

11,919; my launch edition was 2036. This one does not have the 12v in the frunk.

Atomic wheels look amazing - especially with the white exterior. Very classy!

Thanks, first choice was Limestone but in my head the bronze would look better on white. They looked real good on Rivian Blue.

Equally gorgeous. The white's a little more elegant, like it wouldn't be out of place pullling up to the valet at a black tie event.

What do you do regarding vampire drain? If left alone in the driveway, Green Machine loses 2-3 miles over a 24 hr stretch. I think part of that is because the connect+ and blue-tooth keep waking it up so that it has to level off the 12v batteries by drawing from the high voltage batteries. I added a trickle charger, which I plug in whenever i park at home for more than a day. That keeps the 12v leveled off, so it only loses <1 mile/day - about the same as our model 3.

But it does under the dash

Nothing, haven't noticed it yet with this one, last one had an issue for a short while but I think software updates have made some improvements. I don't have proximity lock on at home so I don't think it wakes much if at all.

Check it out. Note the range when you park and then again the next day. According to Grok, 2-3 mile loss over 24 hrs is average for the Gen 1's. That's with gear guard and proximity lock turned off at home. It took me a while before I noticed. If you drive it every day, it's not as apparent as if you let it sit for a while.

Hey, they look amazing! The colors of the wheels match perfectly with the white of your Rivian.
