I noticed the battery SOC seems to fluctuate. See the pic below from Home Assistant. While sitting in my driveway unplugged the SOC goes from 78.6% at 9:45pm to 78.3% at around 10pm, a reduction which is normal but, it stays there until 5am this morning and jumps to 78.7%. Then it starts to drop...
My phantom drain was between 1.5-2kWh per day. It is now 0.8kWh. This is better than what I experienced this time last year when I monitored this a bit more. Also, after a charge my SOC stays consistent for three days. See the gap in April where no data exists.
This is a noticeable improvement...
Rivian implemented "Smart Turn Signal" functionality, which automatically cancels the fully engaged turn signal after completing a lane change, in the 2025.10 software update, released in late March 2025. The turn signal automatically turns off after you perform a manual lane change on a highway...
The turn signals if switched totally on will only automatically turn off if youāre on the highway. On the main road, you lightly tap it like most other cars and you get three or four signals and then it shuts off.
I worry about service but I do believe Rivian is fully aware of this hence the steady build out of Service Centers over the last two years.
Iām really hoping the R2 being reduced in built complexity will not require as much service.
That is mostly intentional. I believe Rivian didnāt want to stray too far away from the successful R1S. The scale is exposed when you look at both vehicles from the rear window (side and rear). Also height which is not as easy to tell via online pics.
It was an outage at Rivian. Itās my understanding if you tried to access your vehicle during the outage nothing worked because all driver and access keys were removed. I saw this happening intermittently when I accessed my mobile app (see screenshot below). I was home and tried to access mine...
