High Motor temps after just a few miles?

They made the bar gray and put a red line at the top end of the operating range and people are still worrying about it. Maybe they should put a little info button in the corner of the tile with an explanation of what it means?

Turned the temps on a few mins before heading into the garage, but otherwise no.

in that case totally normal. The motors are being used to generate heat for the cabin and the battery to improve efficiency. If you pre condition before you leave you get this part out of the way

I work with machines that have little gauges with redlines, and a big part of my job is to keep the little gray bar away from the little red line. So ignorant and paranoid are probably right descriptors at this time.

I have the latest update and at 290F it is orange still (I thought they got rid of the orange)

You weren’t even near red line. And the bars turn orange when they get near. You didn’t even get there. The others who freaked out did.

My concern, and I didn't articulate this very well, was the trend data. Normally running at 105-ish, suddenly at 235. More than double. A rapid rise in temp to me is as concerning as running into an amber or red band. But again, I didn't take the battery conditioning into account. Learning has occurred.

It’s a little bit like modern ICE cars and how they manage coolant flow and temp to facilitate speedy warm-up.

You're right. Next time I see something new I won't try to learn anything, stay blissfully ignorant, and just wait until something breaks to ask for help.

Give me my crayons so I can go color in the corner.

I just eat the crayons. It’s faster.

Rough crowd in here today. Perhaps there are Packers fans in our midst. <LOL … hides under desk>

As a packer fan, I feel this. Give me some crayons, I will eat some as well.

Isn't this how everyone toasts their marshmallows for s'mores?

Nuclear power plant steam turbines??

Or you could search the the forum (make minimal effort to learn) so the same thing isn’t repeatedly posted and re-explained over and over

When the motor temp data got added it lacked sufficient context. Some people freaked out, reasonably so IMO, because Rivian didn’t make it clear whether a certain temp was problematic or not. Even now it’s still an issue. If you didn’t see all the original threads about it, it makes sense to have been concerned.

You're fine. Mine? Not sure why it's so imbalanced.
