  1. Vampire drain over the holidays - trip computer vs %

    I bought my R1T back in September (June 2023 build VIN 25xxx) and had no concerns with vampire drain. As I was away for the holidays I thought I would test that. The truck stayed locked in my garage with gear guard off. I am in eastern PA so the vehicle was in the 40s. I checked the app once a...
  2. New owner questions

    1 week into R1S ownership. Overall, It has been great. Car has some panel gaps but that stuff doesn't bother me or my wife as much. Just a couple of questions I haven't found definite answers to and a couple of non-dealbreakers I am hoping will get fixed over time. 1) Heating - I live in the...

    Gear Guard stops recording events after 48 hours

    Hello all, to keep long story short: Had my truck parked for 6 days, and motion cam deactivated itself after 2 days, and I was unable to turn it back on via phone app. Has anyone experienced this? Is it a bug or a feature? And if it is done to prevent vampire drain, then it failed because...

    Long term battery vampire drain test (47 days and going)

    Hey everyone. I had the chance to leave the R1T in the garage for about two months while I'm (still...:rolleyes:) out of town training for a new job. I thought this would be a good time to see how long I could leave it unplugged! Unfortunately I didn't take as much data as all you smarty-pants'...

    Bricked Rivian in depth (Now You Know Channel)

    A terrible set of experiences with 12 volt battery failures documented in this YouTube video. What are your thoughts on their complaints about Rivian CS claiming “certified tow trucks” and charging owners for what should be covered under warranty? Do you think 12V issues is Rivian’s biggest...
  7. My Rivian completely dead from ~40% vampire drain after a month long vacation

    I took off an vacation parking my Rivian R1T in my apartment parking complex and came back to a completely dead battery. The 12V battery looks to be dead as well completely. The car wouldn't unlock any doors or ports and nothing seems to work at all. It completely drained the full 40% to 0%...
