Agreed. My feet tend to get cold. I found one effective fix is to head to Mexico until things get warmer. ?

Good job! We should all do that, to keep Rivian from trying to glean all that valuable information for their efforts to improve the vehicle! ?

There is. The lower vent blows out under the dash directly onto your feet. Unfortunately, it's normally not very warm air that it is blowing on your feet lol.

Correct. They don't.

Yes, it does.

What you are seeing here is 100% expected behavior. If the pack is between 40 and 50°, it will not normally waste energy to try to get it warmer unless the vehicle is headed for DCFC. Yes, there are people that feel the battery should be warmer, but most of us in the business, to include...

Interesting data, thank you.

Because they are preparing for DCFC. Are you seriously this confused, or are you just trying to pick an argument? Tesla, GM, Ford, Kia, Hyundai and Rivian all use similar algorithms when it comes to battery temperatures. The assumptions you have presented here are frankly way out in left...

My R1 was in the SC last week with all the HVAC issues described. The techs blamed it on condenser icing (fits). I was assured that this update would fix it. It has not. In chats this week with the same tech, he is eluding to a possible design issue with the condenser or sensor(s). Stay on...

2.5 ish with a bike behind....

Huge fan of my truck. Huge fan of where the charge port is (ARE YOU LISTENING TESLA?!) Hugely annoyed at the really dumb Rube Goldberg port cover.

Because your perception of a "warm battery" is out of sync with the industry standard. It is widely accepted in the industry that detrimental things happen to lithium batteries below 40 degrees F. There is really no reason to heat the batteries beyond 50 degrees unless you are going to try to...

If you are not seeing the battery heat during preconditioning, it is because your battery is >40 degrees F, and the BMS has decided it is not necessary. The BMS will not heat the battery unnecessarily.

Rivian did a fantastic job on thier in-house design, I am a big fan! They listened, they learned, and delivered. ?

Naw. Don't sweat the grumpies. I love Gig harbor BTW. Sailed in there a few times back in the day. The boat is in the Sea of Cortez now. :cool:

I am not sure what the confusion is, maybe this will help: The R1 will warm, or "condition" the battery using heat off the motors if the BMS deems is necessary for the health of the battery, or, if it will assist in fast charging. This "conditioning" can be triggered by the vehicle, such as...

Elon to the rescue.... please....? I am not above groveling.... if it will help....

It's been fun testing, but found the one for my needs: Rivian R1T LE Quad F150 Lightning XLT Large Pack Hummer EV Silverado EV WT Cybertruk Founder's Edition "CyberBeast" Rivian R1T Large Pack Enduro DM It is a really good truck. Thank you Rivian. :cool:?

It is very common in the automotive industry to issue extended warranties when there is a chance there could be problems with parts on the vehicle, such as Ford's recent valve woes on the V6b engines. Rivian gave a generous warranty on the initial release to help ease jitters people normally...
