    Vampire drain - what's the latest battery % loss people are getting?

    Same with my R1t, can't get it under 1kWh/day, I usually see 1.1 to 1.2kWh/day.

    TezLab is now has beta support for Rivian

    We have frequent overpasses on the mapped major roads I frequent, that's where it seems to have issues. Unfortunately my work commute is almost due East and due West so on both drives I'm heading directly in to the low sun especially in the fall and spring... I'm sure that's not helping either...

    TezLab is now has beta support for Rivian

    I have very little confidence in the self drive feature of the Driver+ system. I've tried it several times and it definitely has issues with shadows ahead and even on the road surfaces. In comparison, the ACC seems to work well enough that I somewhat trust it.

    New Rvian Buyer Delivery Tips/Tricks/Info .... *Info others may not know*

    I's seen posts that for Cali that's sufficient, but for the other 49 states (I'm guessing at that number) you need to give Rivian an actual Insurance ID card with your Rivian's VIN on it with an expiration date at least 90 days in the future.

    New Rvian Buyer Delivery Tips/Tricks/Info .... *Info others may not know*

    FYI... new buyer tip: your Insurance ID card has to be valid for 90 days starting from or a day or three before your delivery date. Some carriers only issue 30 day temp ID cards, Rivian will reject those and reschedule your delivery till you give them a 90 day insurance ID card. Ask me how I...

    External Hard Drive issue

    For future reference... After connecting a new/different drive to the Rivian USB port.. the vehicle runs the speed test then places a .txt file in the root of the hard drive with the results. Connect that hard drive to a PC, open that .txt file and change the word "slow" to "ready".. then save...

    Confirmed: R2 / R3 will have tow hitch

    No way will it be a 1.25" receiver on the R2... rest easy, it will be a vehicle that is expected to tow moderate loads. ;) Possibly a 1.25" setup on the R3 if it even comes with a built in receiver from the factory.

    Lost all internet

    I drove for about an hour yesterday (Sunday) with no issues whatsoever on Tune In which uses cellular. I didn't have to do any resets, reboots, etc.. just got in and the music started playing as it usually does.

    Might be a good time to check for vampire drain? Go in to settings, forget your home's WiFI and reset your trip odometers.

    Let's talk Tesla Supercharger parking etiquette...

    That's basically how public charging works in Europe... you supply the connecting cable, it plugs in to the public charging stand on one end and into your charge port with the other end. Just saying it's not as far out as it seems...

    Video: Tesla supercharging pricing / cost shows on both R1 screens while charging

    Even if it was free... I don't think I'd go there. If I want to see a freakshow I'll watch Jerry Springer on the TV with zero chance of catching Covid, stupid, etc.. from the Walmart people o_O

    Any way to auto lock, unlock without the door handles constantly presenting?

    Our Model 3 unlocks when we walk past it, but the handles on the Model 3 don't self-present so you only notice some sounds coming from the car which indicates something is happening.. but no handles popping out. Overall, I much prefer the i3 scheme where you walk up to the door an touch the...

    Tesla Supercharger Testing, Video and Charge Curve (Using Rivian R1T)

    Thanks for the write-up and video Sasha! Hopefully Rivian will change their cell cooling strategy in the R2 from the current top and bottom plate cooling in the R1 vehicles to the Tesla wrap-around style cell cooling which is much more efficient so we can extend the higher amperage rates...

    12v issues (both needed replacement)

    Agreed, last time I went in to the RIDE menu I was surprised to see my 12V batts up in 14.5V territory which is okay for recharging after a discharge, but that's too high for a 24/7 float charge on a 12V AGM battery.

    12v issues (both needed replacement)

    They are designed to last for years as long as they are not abused (over charged, under charged, drained too deeply, overheated, etc... ). As long as your vehicle is charging them correctly they should still be in great shape, I wouldn't replace them till they give you issues.
