Yeah man, when I got mine I drove it back from Oklahoma and during charging I could hear it and was like damn that's loud. Then I saw where the compressor was and was like SMH.

Trust me they aren't. Unless you are looking at that data with a factory scanner you aren't seeing the truth. It's showing you 100% of what they are allowing it to be charged to in the BMS. The R1T uses 2170 cells, a single 2170 cell has 18.23 wh. The large pack consists of 7,776 cells do the...

Nice OP! The loud hum is the compressor running to condition the battery for fast charging for some reason they installed it directly under the wiper blades.

I'm not a battery expert but I disagree with charging high or low in the pack causes damage. You can't access the top or the bottom so there is no true 0 or 100% access. The battery is going to degrade with charging cycles over time regardless of what you do to it. The battery warranty is 8...

Or they could just adjust pricing, who knows

Yes on my truck it's a little bit more than that, I calculated mine to be about a 15amp drain when sitting there doing nothing. Thats a metric sh!t-ton. If you're unfamiliar with how much that is its the equivalent of you turning the key on (non-EV vehicle)with all the exterior lights on as well...

No way the added weight would reduce range that much, especially while holding constant speeds, added weight actually helps in that scenario. The max pack is probably just one module larger to get to150kwh. 180kwh probably isn't doable without a total battery redesign for packaging/crash testing...

I don't need 400plus range but I want it, I know it's not necessary but I don't like to fly and I want to be able to skip chargers. I also am weird and like to drive ev like a gas car, I charge all the way and when I get low I recharge.

Probably would help, I think even if you turn proximity off at home it's still powering all those Bluetooth antennas the same as any other time. Most cars use RFID for unlocking and proximity but that wouldn't work for a phone.

That was me i think cuz thats why i saw on mine. I would try it again, we might not be all having the same drain causes which could explain why some people would have shipping mode success and some not. I don't care about the drain enough to always park with shipping mode I just tried it to see...

I'm not sure if the updates did anything, I've tried shipping mode twice and had the same results both times. I've done 3 ota updates since I got mine in February. I'm not an early adopter I bought mine with 500 miles on it.

I honestly don't think they care, their response anytime I've asked is, it's normal Teslas do the same thing. Their words not mine. I just remind them that I've never had a tesla and none of my other evs would lose any range over any period of time including the ones I work on. It's doing it...

Instead of having nothing and or not getting the options I want I am holding onto my reservation for exactly the truck I want and picked up a used launch edition in the meantime. Win/win

My first unplug from charging after the update the door closed fast immediately. Hasn't done it since

Either way, you are right if they could hold 200ish kw for longer it would help.

I Yeah I'm not sure what tesla specs are, but most EA stations are 500a but a lot of them are software limited to 350a which like you just said is only 200kw on a 400v system. The taycan can get 270ish kw on the 350a cuz it's an 800v system.

Yes, but there are plenty of 500a ccs fast chargers, Rivian would just have to remap the charging in an update. That's what I'm talking about.

Better charging curve would render the Max pack almost useless during road trips as well. Kinda talking about it in the OTA thread now.

I understand that but I was thinking about how Tesla gets away with it using the same 2170 cells. I assumed it was just software, and how hard they want to work the pack. Battery construction is not something I know a ton about. I know the higher the voltage of the system the faster the charging...

Only time will tell, but if the Max pack is only around these hypothesized sizes I don't see how they can justify it being $10k more than the large pack. That would be highway robbery. I'd pay 10k more for 180kw, but not for less than that.
