“If a deer hit CT on the road“ is just the new version of ”If a tree falls in the woods” quote. What hurt the R1T is the fact that deer didn’t see it. What protects CT is not the steel. It is the fact that it is not there to be seen. I do get your point though. I am all for maintenance...

since your test was during an 18 hr period not 24, it makes me wonder if when you started the test, the temp was 70 and it was 65 degree when you ended it, if some of the range loss was not a real loss and due to lower temperature. lot of assumptions here; one there was a temp difference, two...

Great point. His 1.6 KWh daily loss (which seem to be the best scenario case) could kill those 21A batteries very quickly. It seems like rejuicing system will be working over time with not much time for a nap.

Thank you all for your response. They have been very helpful. As of now, I am still Hopeful that by the time it is my turn, R1 Reliability and my risk tolerance will move to meet somewhere in the middle. Here are some thoughts that have been colliding in my head which resulted in starting...

I consider it a major benefit. I don’t expect to get the full picture from the manufacturer alone. The reason, I am excited about R1 is the forum and the reason I am cautious, it is forum too. The fact that you get both good news and bad news here, makes me trust it’s over all content.

This is a real question for me. And I would like your thoughts on it. I understand a lot of issues we are seeing is due to R1 being a new vehicle from a new company and as Rivian get feedback from their service centers, things will improve. However, it seems like (I am not sure if this is...

I hope the cuts are smart. CS was a nice feel good feature but rarely made any difference for me. Some of the design guys may be mostly done since manufacturing has started with R1. They may even be done with R2. The main question is, if these cuts are not enough, what would be the impact...

His response comes from an emotion that is not unique to him. Although, what you posted is good info to have for all of us and you have every right to post it since you were an owner, a current reervation holder, a forum member and it is R1 related and I am sure this is not your intention; it...

Loved the video. It is inspiring. BUT, I believe that $30K car when I see it. The only practical affordable EV I know of is Bolt and I doubt GM made any money on it.

Everything is a matter of cost/benefit. Even though R1 may get one third of the Lightyear 0 miles out of those panels, if they are cheap enough addition, I would have them on all top surfaces of my RS (no glass roof). It would be even more important then to get the phantom drain under control.

Did you put on the PPF yourself? or had it done professionally?

Rivian Batter:y:

I thought you are safe over 40%

I don’t know this for a fact, it is pure speculation; If what they do now is turn on the juicing process when 12V battery drops from 100% to 90% during sleep time. They could change the process and only turn on the juicer when the 12V battery hit 40% and juice only to 50% during rest and to...

I have a feeling at some point Rivian may decide in order to shut us up and look better, to cut off the main pack when the vehicle is sleep and use the juice in 12V battery to do it's thing at night and report zero phantom loss. Then the next day when you are driving the car, juice up the...

That much weight and that much power, something gotta give. Just love that rescue truck. The driver had too many teeth though.

Great info. Thanks for sharing. May I ask what the temps were around your R1t for this period? I am trying to see if battery cooling can wake up the car and if that may have been a part of your 1 Kwh (2 mile) loss. May be owners in cooler climate can duplicate your setup and report. It...

It is not a chicken and egg kinda deal:

My understanding based on what Wassym Bensaid, VP of Software Engineering in Reddit was saying, R1 seem to have a bad case of insomnia. It seems like there are ton of conditions that it keeps an eye on while ”sleep” and when those happen it does a lot of sleep walking. So it sleeps like humans...

Who says this is not a work truck
