Announcing our new "CLUBS" section where you can join or create a Rivian club or group! You can use this new feature to conveniently plan and discuss local events, gatherings or other club/group related topics.
So we encourage you to join (or start) special-interest and regional-based Rivian clubs at: https://www.rivianforums.com/forum/group-categories/clubs-groups.1/
Does your garage happen to be close to your bedroom or wherever you keep your phone, assuming you use PAAK? It’s possible the truck is seeing the phone and waking up. It does this every time I go to my garage fridge (I can tell because I hear my radar detector power up).
No, phone is not near the garage, neither is the fob. I have disabled BT access to the Rivian app so PAAK will not function. I have cameras in the garage, so I can see that the vehicle is not completely waking up, unlocking and turning on lights. It is waking up to some sort of active state for 45 min to an hour every 2 hours or so.
Very odd. May be worth opening a ticket with Rivian. Perhaps yours has a bug that can be squashed with a reprogramming of a module and/or software update.
Yup. Already did. I had 10% vampire loss over 3 days parked in my garage with everything off. Rivian Service called regarding my service request and tried to tell me that 8%/day loss was "normal". That's pretty incredulous. How can one expect to park at an airport for 1 to 2 weeks with that type of loss. Her response was that Rivian doesn't recommend that!!!
Just diving into my electrafi data for the first time. I do have gear guard on and park in a large garage serving a dual high rise building, so always expected some loss with that setting. I've always had vampire drain around 1-2% per day. Key is always 25 floors away from the vehicle.
Just saw this posted on Twitter. This sounds similar to what we're seeing. Hopefully this addresses the issue.
I used to see your pattern, but lately am seeing a good sleep pattern with less than a kWh per day in loss.Just diving into my electrafi data for the first time. I do have gear guard on and park in a large garage serving a dual high rise building, so always expected some loss with that setting. I've always had vampire drain around 1-2% per day. Key is always 25 floors away from the vehicle.
However, I am seeing the same pattern that you have noted - generally 2 hours of sleep, followed by 1 hour of idle, give or take. Sometimes the sleep can be up to 1 hour shorter or longer, but the longest sleep I'm seeing over the past few weeks is 3.25 hours. Electrafi is confirming the drain I've noticed, it appears to be closer to 1.5 to 2.5% per day per electrafi. Although, I quit paying attention regularly in the Rivian - I don't drive a ton, so it doesn't really affect how much I need to charge.
My R1S is charging tonight, but will turn off gear guard tomorrow night and see if it makes a difference.
Below is an example. After backing out the legitimate idles where I entered the vehicle lost 1.71%.
Nice ... mine is 2hrs sleep, 1 hr wake (+- 15min) consistently ... odd that vehicles are having different behavior. Hopefully this next update resolves. I only just started using Electrifi so I don't have historical data but noticed increased drain about a month ago or so.I used to see your pattern, but lately am seeing a good sleep pattern with less than a kWh per day in loss.
So I guess 8% loss/day isn't normal thenJust saw this posted on Twitter. This sounds similar to what we're seeing. Hopefully this addresses the issue.
Also looks like Rivian finally got sick of all the tickets they had to be getting for the orange motor temperatures when pre-conditioning.
This! What is the practical anctionable application for (selfish) me. I totally understand the love to nerdding out on data; but do I have time? No :-(. So if there is no actionable item that improves my life or other folks, I will watch from the sidelines.
Not sure about ElectraFi but this can be done in Home Assistant (HA) and the Rivian (Unofficial) integration. I have HA check the battery SoC every two hours and send me an email if it goes below 50%. Pretty sure you could write an automation to send a notification if the R1T is "Home" and "Not Charging". The integration polls the Cloud and not the truck directly. It does not appear to have a negative impact on the SoC, as I am losing < 1% per day in the garage with gear guard off.
It will do this.
it’s possible, but since I have a heated garage at home (kept at 53 at night), and at work it’s been in the 30s-40s outside (though with a some sun), I doubt that’s the reason. It may be normal pinging it does, or could be Electrafi waking it up?
