It is, but the idea this could be turned around by using 12v battery chargers seems quite foolhardy, unless you believe that the Rivian hardware has terrible efficiency when charging the 12v.
They sort of do, as evidenced by how the PAAK kept working for people who did not open the app - which is why the Rivian email says not to open it or interact with it in any way. I don't know what the lifetime is.
That said, handling this gracefully should be a stated design goal, not just a...
You should need to be logged in to retrieve the credentials, but it's perfectly reasonable for those credentials to have some offline lifetime, before the truck & server automatically rotate or manually revoke the credentials.
Say, 36 hours with 12-hour rotation would be good.
The app needs to cache phone key credentials for when the server is down, start using the CCC phone-as-key standard, or both. NFC would be great too, as it is rumored the iPhone 15 will continue to service NFC comms 6+ hrs after the battery has gone too flat to turn the phone on.
I have a...
Glad to see the charge port door fix, it's a huge door (unlike Tesla) and you can get your hand stuck in it. Or, in my case, my 2 year old did once. It doesn't seem to back off when it detects resistance which is a huge design miss, so IMO this is the best fix without new hardware.
Ability to...
Damn, I just got quoted $3100 for a ~80ft run. That's about $500 of wire and an insane amount for labor despite relatively few holes being needed (drop ceiling). Time to find another electrician.
I will say, I wish it just kept Bluetooth off while asleep and then woke up when you push in the handles, like the Model S does. It's a far better experience (doesn't unlock/lock when you walk past) and it's easier on standby power. There are clearly buttons under the handles so I assume there...
Since the latest update I went from 1-2% a day to an egregious 4-6%. Sure, it's cold, but gear guard and everything is off. I am running the Homeassistant integration to measure it though. I wonder if that's causing new pathological behavior. Will test.
Woke up this morning to the first snow. My truck is parked out front with gear guard off.
I've always been suspicious that turning gear guard off doesn't actually completely turn off the computer like it should. There's no vampire drain difference either way, in stark contrast to Sentry...
Seeing what appears to be improved battery drain since the 2022.43.02 update pushed to my truck. I am seeing a lot of rebounding (battery level goes up!) after drives but I seem to be losing less than 1%/day now, instead of 2-2.5% a day.
I installed the update the morning of Dec 5 about 7am.
