I've left my Gen 1 R1S unplugged for almost 3 weeks with no issues. Just make sure Gear Guard is "off at home" and no other functions are on that would keep the truck awake (camping mode or external sockets on, for example). You should only be seeing 1 to 2% of phantom drain per day.

It's a 5' x 10', single axle built by a local company here in Colorado. No aux brakes, and it has a metal grate pull down ramp which I find very useful. The ramp can also fold in and lay on the bed if I'm hauling 12' or 16' lumber. Also useful are hook points on the frame sides to connect...

Well, I've always wanted to tow the Underdog float in the Macey's Thanksgiving Day Parade, but alas, all I tow is a utility trailer for endless Home Depot runs.

I second the @SANZC02 recommendation on using the Rivan's hotspot. I had the same issue with a Tesla SC stop in a very rural section of the Pennsylvania Turnpike. My Verizon phone had no service but the car was getting an ATT signal. I was able to connect to the car hotspot and charge using my...

It may be able to handle Spanish, but last month, on our way to Glacier NP, it directed us toward "Butt" multiple times. We thought that was hilarious, however, the good folks in Butte may not like being the butt of the joke.

I think I'm getting close, but not quite ready yet. I'm at 49000 miles in a Sep 2023 single-battery Gen 1 but I'm not getting any battery warnings yet. My question for you is can this be done as a DIY installation? I thought these 12 V batteries required a service center or mobile tech...

Look, if they can't honor their original, written estimate, you should just cancel. 😁

I imagine The Count has much higher "vampire" drain than the rest of us. I second UnsungZero's comment. I recommend The Count start using a battery tender/desulfator now to increase the odds of surviving 32 days without a dead battery. I use a 2 amp version connected through my OBDII port and...

I'm still seeing it in the Play Store. Here's a browser link Rivian App.

Did you go through the initialization steps in Settings after installing? I had a similar issue until I read the instructions in the user manual.

You don't specifically say it in your post, so for clarification, did you press the "Start Charging" button in the Tesla app after selecting the station, and before plugging in? If not, then it defaults to Rivian control.

For what it's worth, I tested sending a planned route from Google Maps, and this is still working. Of course you'll have to start over with your planning.

I just tried this after verifying the car is awake and am getting the same error. This function has worked for me in the past so this is a new bug.
