I've stated elsewhere that my Model X went thru its 12v every year. Sometimes closer to 9 months. I'd wager that any car (ICE or EV) with cameras/sentry running down the battery every few hours all night long and all day at work would have the issue. So ot because it's an EV, but because...

Hmm, thats something I will check. I do have kids in the back.

About a dozen times since I've owned in late Dec.

Same, picked mine up in Dec. Following for any actual news on this.

My 2019 X went thru its 12v every. single. year. That was before they moved to a small lithium. So its not just a Rivian issue but its a shame they didnt learn from Tesla's earlier mistake sooner. The Ohmu battery has gotten quite good. For my X, I installed the Ohmu, and kept the factory...

Fair enough. I may run a test next weekend, let it pre-warm for 2-3 hours and see what the heating curve actually is. I may need to get creative and keep changing the schedule pre-warm to keep it going so long. I'm pretty sure the S/X use an embedded heater in addition from pulling from the...

Hmmm, well not sure if its normal. The truck is new so it could be an issue but otherwise drives great. One data point is I a did short 45min one-way trip today, and it averaged 1.3miles per kw according to the energy screen. I do have the 22" wheels on the OEM Pirelli's. I'm coming from...

An hour, pre-conditioning in my unheated garage, made a 3 degree change in the battery temp on the gauges. I assumed that was just normal variance. I'm trying to extend my range. In my tesla, I could preheat and get near summer range and make it all the way on what the Tesla said was 300mi...

I'm not sure thats true for Gen2. I read the same, tested on my Gen 2, and the battery never warmed. Several threads here and on reddit say Gen2 does not warm battery like gen1. Its a big issue for folks like me coming from a Tesla where we can warm the battery to get near normal range for a...

Am I the only one that does not want to improve insulation in the winter? Maybe its just my Gen 2 R1T but the cabin "temp" ignores all digits and sets it self to "sauna" mode.

Who said it wasn't self-certified. I guess we disagree on his point. Not disagreeing its self-certified. He is suggesting that self-certified means its ripe for fraud, and thus mostly meaningless, but then shows that the one example tire was recalled and lost a lawsuit. To me that's proof of...

I know he never said its the only metric...I did. I was just picking on his click bait. He makes it sound like because its self-certified, its the wild west and meaningless. But then points out the tire was recalled and subject to a lawsuit. Clearly its not meaningless nor unenforced or else...

I don't know, I watch the video and seems mostly click bait. Sure the 3PMSF is not some hard won qualification, and having that rating should never be your only metric for buying a snow tire; but just look at most US brands, they are not slapping that rating on 99% of tires. If it was so...

Do you live, like a 1/4 mile from Manheim tire by chance? I passed an R1T the other night on Bucknoll road that was turning into the neighborhood on the left.

Hey Lancaster too with my 2026 R1T

Thought this was interesting. My 2026 was delivered with 2025.46 and when I setup my older Pixel 8 it only gave configured as a "phone key". I would have thought a new device would default to digital key. But it was working fine so didn't worry about. After a few weeks, got the email that...

On the front doors...not the rear doors. Those are deep behind a plastic cover that has to be removed and then you have to feel for a pull string.

Exactly. And because I added a battery to get more AH, I used an XS XP750 since I don't need the post in the same spot.

As an aside, I'll log/graph the vampire drain this weekend over say a 24hr period and post it. Curious actually what the real load is. I don't use the gear guard at home but maybe I'll try it on and off to show the difference.

The capacity of the 12v directly affects the depth and number of charge cycles. Charge/Depth cycles directly affect battery life. Its the number one metric for AGM/Leadacid battery life. If the idle vampire drain is similar to Tesla at 40w, then the OEM 20ah battery will need a charge cycle...
