I have this happen occasionally. The problem is me. If I hold the button too long or kind of bounce off of the button when releasing it a second signal is sent which stops the door. Its also possible there is an issue with the with the Rivian button not making good contact. But this would...

The Gear Guard Cable has always, or at least for a long time, been an add on.

When the Rivian "sleeps", its sleeping, not dead. In sleep it's still doing lots of stuff. Gary may be on security duty. LTE is waiting for your phone to connect. If PAK is on, then Bluetooth is waiting for you to walk away or get near..... and so on. A charging session starts with...

Its been a few years and times may have changed (not as many EVs back then) ... A couple times I simply asked the front desk if there was an outlet near parking where I could plug in the Tesla mobile charger. They said yes and helped me locate an outlet. One even got an extension cord to reach...

Your calculation for the R1 is good ... except you wrote the formula using .7672 per kwh, but the math shows you used .07672 .... which is what you said the rate was. I think you just have a typo/decimal placement error on the formula. Your gas calculation is not valid. As you calculate you...

Yes, I had the same issue ... happened about a month ago ... motion cam only ... Other videos worked. Did a reboot and the problem was resolved and has not returned. But it did not record anything on the motion cam for the period it was frozen (about 5 days).

Not an issue. I store mine in the frunk webbing pocket. It gets a little warm but the plug and cord on the fast charger sitting in the sun when its 115 degrees gets much hotter and still no issue.

Good point on sulfation. It's my understanding that the Gen 2 has a large capacitor along with the LV battery. The BMS on my gen 2 appears to do a good job of regularly charging the battery/capacitor when parked (multiple times in 24 hours). In between charges, the capacitor, if of sufficient...

You are correct that the trickle charge increases the time interval for the HVB to wake up and charge the LVB. However, this does nothing for the health of the LVB. See explanation of cycle in prior post above (cycle is 100 to 0 to 100). The LVB only knows it is receiving electrons, not the...

Good explanation, but a few explanations/corrections ... One charging cycle is 100% to 0% to 100% SOC. It's based upon how much you charge/discharge not frequency. If you charge 2 times 50%, or 5 times 20%, both are a cycle. More small charges is no worse than fewer large charges. The LVB...

Question regarding V2H and reality. Lets say you by an EV with an 8 year 120,000 mile warranty on the drive battery. You park it in a garage of a large house in Phoenix, AZ. You never drive it but it's hooked up for V2H and supplies an average of 50kwh per day to the house. After 5 years it...

You are correct. This is how it works, not an issue with your truck. When parked the current elevation displays incorrectly. My assumption is current elevation is not a stored value, it is a real time function (stream) and needs the GPS providing real time data to display correctly. So, when...

I don't actually know if my Gen 2 does this with the max/min elevation. I will have to check it out. I rarely pay attention to elevation. I mostly use the screen for battery and motor temp as well as efficiency. So, I am on and off the screen. However, as a former software developer and...

My Gen 2 R1T is accurate within a degree or two, unless parked in the sun for a while. In that case it reads 5-10 degrees hotter when I first get in and takes about 15 minutes driving to get the temp down to what the weather service says. If stuck in traffic and moving slow the reading does...

Simple interest calculation $ 7,594.15 Simple Interest = Principal Amount × Interest Rate × Time NOTE: Does not include the marginal tax rate of what those interest gains would have been taxed on You need another tweek to the model. This interest total would only be true if you never made...

Clarifying a couple points in this thread. By leasing verses purchase and keeping $94k invested at 4% will not result in $11k dollars of interest in your pocket. Keep in mind that each month you are paying the lease, lets say $1,100 and drawing down the investment, so each month the interest...

Sounds normal. I have a house in Phoenix. At 100 degrees in the garage R1 uses a lot of energy for cooling and its LOUD (garage makes seem even louder since sound is contained. There is a big difference between cooling energy when temps are low 90's verses 100. To address the issue, I...

It is configurable. You can set it to not tilt mirrors when backing up, and it can be set different for each driver. I like them to tilt, my wife does not.

Thread originated prior to Gen 2, so I cannot speak to Gen 1. But, for my gen 2 R1T, 90 degrees is no big deal. In Phoenix where the low summer temps are around 90 degrees, the cabin and battery stay cool without the AC working hard. When its 115 and sunny the AC does work hard, but...
