How to reduce charge drain while sitting in the garage ?

[Swiszo]

To all seasoned R1S, gen 2 owners.
I have had my R1S for a little bit more than 10 months now but I still wonder if I can do more to reduce the drain on the vehicle while it is just sitting there ?
My 2021 Toyota Rav 4 Prime, once fully charged, appears not to loose charge after fully charging.

Thanks in advance

How much drain per day are you seeing in kWh? There is a floor the R1's can't go below no matter what you do.

It is pretty common to see 1-2% loss per day.

When I leave my truck at the airport it will lose more the first 2-3 days and then it seems to go into a deeper sleep and the drain slows to 1% or less per day. It had been a while since I left my truck but last time I think I lost about 6% over 10 days.

I have an R1T DM. It is garaged when not in use so not subject to huge temperature swings. I turn everything off (WiFi, Rivian app, gear guard, etc.) and use the FOB or a ring key. At most I loose no more than half a percent in a twenty-four hour period but at times less. A big improvement over my first R1T LE QM.

Turn off everything that you could. Proximity, Gear Guard, WiFi, climate, auto cabin ventilation, all outlets, etc. And minimize amount of remote activity, like checking on vehicle status via mobile app. You shouldn’t lose more than 1 kWh per each 24- hour period. If you’re observing more than 1 kWh, despite all that, then something could be amiss. Also ambient temp can affect consumption AND displayed data. If you are reacting based on range estimates instead of SOC % (and kWh), don’t. The estimate in miles is just an estimate. Better to go by SOC/kWh.
