I set the truck in shipping mode and locked it and I will report back what it uses per week at the same temp in this condition. I don't have a tender on yet. If I do the tender, I think I'll do a 40-50W solar module with 13.5V max output max power tracker that way its all in the truck...

In essence, the overall design architecture is poor and not thought out very well and I do hope there’s a software fix that Rivian engineering will come up to help reduce the automatic sleep mode as much as possible so anyone who cares about efficiency and wasted 1 kWh/day won’t have to do these...

Mudito, Thanks. Makes good sense. I’ll try these things, starting with shipping mode, then maybe the tender as well.

Yeah, I wasn't thinking to get as extreme as disconnecting the HV battery pack, that seems like alot plus the issues you mentioned. I was just thinking if loads were disconnected from the 12V battery, it wouldn't drain it constantly. 0.7 - 1kW/day is wicked extreme for an idle loss. The tender...

Guys, I know its annoying and another hack, but can I just disconnect the 12V battery from its loads and the truck will go truly dormant? I sometimes don't use it for 3-6 or more weeks at a time, especially in winter. Of course, naturally, I understand that I won't have Bluetooth...

I am fine with some small amount of energy being consumed to do firmware updates, connect to WIFI, etc., but its got to have a low energy sleep mode where it shuts most of these computers down and only keeps the minimum 2-3W of Bluetooth and/or WIFI or other alive to be alert for a communication...

That sounds similar, I guess mine is averaging 0.7% per day. Its a huge drain at 1 kW of battery capacity every single day! That's 1 kWh of electricity every day to not drive anywhere, 30 kWh a month!!! I really hope Rivian works on this and has a solution soon, otherwise I could never...

My 2024 R1T is loosing a whopping 21% capacity in 30 days at a constant 40°F when I turned as many things off possible like Gear Guard, locked the truck, closed the app on phone, made sure Bluetooth for Rivian is disabled on phone. I don’t have cellular service activated on truck but it’s on...

Why would Rivian’s 2024 on board computers use more than Tesla’s 2015-2021 onboard computers? I would think a decade newer design would be smarter, better faster, better for low energy sleeping. Is the design that much worse? I’d like to recommend this great truck to many other people I know but...

It’s an innovative way to keep feeding energy into the vampire load but guys (and gals), we are talking about an $80,000-$100,000 state of the art high tech electric vehicle (I had thought I bought), can Rivian please do an update for sleeping that is at least similar to Tesla (that came out...
