Yes. If it’s plugged in and I manually set the car to charge and heat the cabin, the first roughly 2-2.5 kWh that are delivered are mostly going to the cabin and heating the motors, which heat the battery. You can see this happening on the car charging screen. Once the motors heat up, the...

I’ve started using my home shore power to precondition the battery these cold mornings, just to see what differences it makes. Didn’t do this last winter. I‘ve found that the car will draw around 2.5 kWh just to heat the cabin and motors and begin heating the HV battery. The motors get pretty...

My R1T speedo against GPS, it has always shown a couple of miles faster than actual speed, when at highway speeds. Seems like almost every car I can remember owning had some discrepancy, reading almost always to the high side, by a wee bit. Better than the other way, I suppose.

For all those who want to discount the R1T’s handling, maybe you should check the results of the Pikes Peak Hill Climb for the last two years. In stock trim, the two R1T‘s absolutely ripped up that mountain! I’d say they handle pretty darn well, for frickin’ p/u truck that can wheel. Just...

After 8 days of tracking this closely with a spreadsheet, I‘m seeing 1.87kWh (1.42% of my large pack) and 4 miles of loss per 24 hours. I 100% agree with you that this not a big deal in normal driving, with at home charging. However, there are scenarios where every extra mile may count - like...

That sucks. But, look at the bright side. When the battery tanks, they will have to give you a brand new one ?

On my iPhone, I‘ve tried turning off BT and closing my Rivian phone app. Honestly, the whole BT thing didn’t have a noticeable impact, for me. Also, I’ve tried camp mode and all the other modes. Still, the car is going to drain, to some degree, and nothing I‘ve tried has resulted in an ah-ha...

This last week I started more closely tracking my VD. I reset Trip Meter A daily, so that it is only tracking power consumption during a normal driving day. The second Trip Meter B is aways running, thus recording consumption even during down time. Unfortunately, the trip meters only show kWh...

This would be great! As it is, if you create one custom setting, any previous settings are gone. No way to easily compare custom settings back-to-back.

I, too, watched the Q/A session where Wassym made the “1 mile per day” drain statement. I also figured he meant 1% per day. But, neither is a reality for most. I have also been told by service personnel, multiple times, that losses well in excess of 1% per day are considered normal and...

That is a ridiculous amount of drain. Are there any seat belts connected? I have heard an attached seat belt may keep the vehicle awake, all the while consuming power. If all else fails, reach out to Rivian. In my experience, they are very responsive and helpful.

This is how my iPhone 13 Pro works. That’s one reason I want the owl back. For me, the owl is easier to hear from afar. Sometimes, I can even hear the owl from inside my house. That would never happen with the chirp. I do wish that it would lock a little sooner than it does. I often find myself...

“2-3 year lifespan” with a potentially almost instant, disabling failure, without warning, is certainly very disconcerting! At least on an ICEV you typically get some warning when the battery is nearing the end of its useful lifespan and can easily jump start it.

The battery warranty notes that it can be voided by being “left unplugged for an extended time.” Does merely having the vehicle plugged in, but not actively charging, actually do anything? Or, is there something happening just by having the vehicle plugged in? Can the vehicle draw power from the...

Holy crap! I checked out the Electrafi website. They seem to collect an incredible amount of very interesting info on the vehicles. My curiosity wants me to sign up, but my privacy concerns have me a little reluctant.

Interesting. I never thought about the redundancy of that latch, under normal circumstances. I can’t imagine a scenario where I would be driving with the tonneau on and the tailgate down. However, one might have a need to leave one of the panels out, moving the whole assembly forward, latching...

My VD has been pretty consistent at 1.5-2+/- kWh per 24 hours. I reset my trip meter to zero every evening. Its aways shows 1 kWh used by the next morning. If it sits until the afternoon, it’s usually at 2 kWH. I figure it rounds up to the next kWh after it passes .5 KWh. So, if it is showing 2...

No, I don’t use electrafi.com. Maybe I should.

I love the fob and it is always in my pocket. No need to always have the darn phone. I have very little problem selecting the lock/unlock buttons while in my pocket, as some seem to have. I’ve just gotten used to it. As others have noted, if one can’t feel the buttons, put a dab of super glue...

Hey. You guys/gals are making me nervous with this battery stuff. My R1T has a 7/23 build date, delivered 9/12/23. Going into winter, I don’t need a bricked rig ?
