  1. Brutal Vampire Drain

    I agree, 10% daily loss is nuts and unacceptable. I’ve been closely tracking my ā€˜23 R1T for the last 3 weeks, comparing daily usage data (Trip Meter A) to long term data (Trip Meter B). In this way, I can see how much vampire drain I am getting. So far, this is what I am seeing. I have gear...
  2. Tesla Apple Watch app announced

    I, too, would love to be able to use my Apple Watch Ultra, with cellular capability, as a key. I used to have to take my iPhone, if I wanted to listen to music. Now, with Apple Music access, having the phone in my possession is mostly not necessary. As it is, I often leave my phone at home and...
  3. Gen 1 Key Fob update in 2024.43.01

    I got the fob update message, as well. It was only on the screen for a moment. Don’t know what happened to it or what the update was or if my fob updated. I have my fob with me at all times. It is my principal access tool. Can’t say that I have noticed any difference in performance since seeing...
  4. Efficiency Questions M/KWH

    Sorry. I’m not sure what you are saying. If one drives 2777 miles and averages 3.24 m/kWh, roughly 857 kWh of energy would be consumed to propel the vehicle. Some minor additional energy may be consumed for things like cabin heating, lights, etc. Additionally, any long term Trip Meter is...
  5. Efficiency Questions M/KWH

    What am I missing? How does this vehicle calculated m/kWh? Seems to me, if you drive 2777 miles and consume 1438 kWh, your actual m/kWh is more like 1.9, not 3.24.
  6. Vampire drain - what's the latest battery % loss people are getting?

    Yes. I’m talking about manually. I have not seen any way to ā€œpreconditionā€ the battery on a set schedule. Maybe I missed it. I don’t think it’s in the app, but maybe in the car. However, I would assume the process is much the same. Of course, if the battery is already warmed up from charging at...
  7. Vampire drain - what's the latest battery % loss people are getting?

    Yes. If it’s plugged in and I manually set the car to charge and heat the cabin, the first roughly 2-2.5 kWh that are delivered are mostly going to the cabin and heating the motors, which heat the battery. You can see this happening on the car charging screen. Once the motors heat up, the...
  8. Vampire drain - what's the latest battery % loss people are getting?

    I’ve started using my home shore power to precondition the battery these cold mornings, just to see what differences it makes. Didn’t do this last winter. Iā€˜ve found that the car will draw around 2.5 kWh just to heat the cabin and motors and begin heating the HV battery. The motors get pretty...
  9. 20" Inch Tire size recalibration successful by mobile service

    My R1T speedo against GPS, it has always shown a couple of miles faster than actual speed, when at highway speeds. Seems like almost every car I can remember owning had some discrepancy, reading almost always to the high side, by a wee bit. Better than the other way, I suppose.
  10. They're 7000lb trucks, not 2800lb sports cars.

    For all those who want to discount the R1T’s handling, maybe you should check the results of the Pikes Peak Hill Climb for the last two years. In stock trim, the two R1Tā€˜s absolutely ripped up that mountain! I’d say they handle pretty darn well, for frickin’ p/u truck that can wheel. Just...
  11. Vampire drain - what's the latest battery % loss people are getting?

    After 8 days of tracking this closely with a spreadsheet, Iā€˜m seeing 1.87kWh (1.42% of my large pack) and 4 miles of loss per 24 hours. I 100% agree with you that this not a big deal in normal driving, with at home charging. However, there are scenarios where every extra mile may count - like...
  12. Vampire drain - what's the latest battery % loss people are getting?

    That sucks. But, look at the bright side. When the battery tanks, they will have to give you a brand new one ?
  13. Vampire drain - what's the latest battery % loss people are getting?

    On my iPhone, Iā€˜ve tried turning off BT and closing my Rivian phone app. Honestly, the whole BT thing didn’t have a noticeable impact, for me. Also, I’ve tried camp mode and all the other modes. Still, the car is going to drain, to some degree, and nothing Iā€˜ve tried has resulted in an ah-ha...
  14. Vampire drain - what's the latest battery % loss people are getting?

    This last week I started more closely tracking my VD. I reset Trip Meter A daily, so that it is only tracking power consumption during a normal driving day. The second Trip Meter B is aways running, thus recording consumption even during down time. Unfortunately, the trip meters only show kWh...
  15. Submit your questions for Wassym Q&A I’m moderating at LA Auto Show!

    This would be great! As it is, if you create one custom setting, any previous settings are gone. No way to easily compare custom settings back-to-back.
  16. Submit your questions for Wassym Q&A I’m moderating at LA Auto Show!

    I, too, watched the Q/A session where Wassym made the ā€œ1 mile per dayā€ drain statement. I also figured he meant 1% per day. But, neither is a reality for most. I have also been told by service personnel, multiple times, that losses well in excess of 1% per day are considered normal and...
  17. R1S Gen2 Dual standard - 8% phantom drain in 24 hours. Any suggestions?

    That is a ridiculous amount of drain. Are there any seat belts connected? I have heard an attached seat belt may keep the vehicle awake, all the while consuming power. If all else fails, reach out to Rivian. In my experience, they are very responsive and helpful.
  18. 2024.43.0 Update now in UAT (User Acceptance Testing)

    This is how my iPhone 13 Pro works. That’s one reason I want the owl back. For me, the owl is easier to hear from afar. Sometimes, I can even hear the owl from inside my house. That would never happen with the chirp. I do wish that it would lock a little sooner than it does. I often find myself...
  19. Rivian contacted me today to proactively schedule a 12V battery replacement by mobile service

    ā€œ2-3 year lifespanā€ with a potentially almost instant, disabling failure, without warning, is certainly very disconcerting! At least on an ICEV you typically get some warning when the battery is nearing the end of its useful lifespan and can easily jump start it.
