Vampire drain - what's the latest battery % loss people are getting?

[ryunited]

So I THOUGHT I had set proximity to off at home during my delivery at the SC, but I mixed it up with Gear Guard settings.

I experimented yesterday and it went from like 2% drain in day to under 1% because it was same percentage as I left it 24 hrs earlier when I turned it on this morning (though it clicked down a % pretty quick once I got going).

Huge difference!

Two days in a row, ostensibly zero drain overnight with proximity set to 'off at home' - battery draws down a percent a little faster than usual (though that might be cause motors are heating battery too).

This forum is invaluable.

1% per day consistently at home with everything turned off.

1% per day consistently at home with everything turned off.

Same with my R1t, can't get it under 1kWh/day, I usually see 1.1 to 1.2kWh/day.

I had this occur over a few days but it seems to be back to 1% per day.

Recent tracking for me:

Rated Range for AP is 3.5km/kWh, so I'm losing the equivalent of about 30 to 90 Wh/hour, or 0.36kWh "overnight" (12hr period) to 1 kWh.

Recent tracking for me:

I really like your tracking. I tried to create my own, but got lazy.

I am finally seeing 1% (3-4mi) with all proximity off.
And 3-4% when I do a lot with the vehicle, open close 20x while camping, cameras etc.

This is my biggest gripe with Rivian. I WANT a full off option/button, where I know it will take 1 min to boot up, but I can know I will lose zero energy over extended periods like airport parking, weekends away etc.

It has improved since I bought it last year. I'm guessing no worse than my Tesla Model 3 now (which was HORRENDOUS when I first got it several years ago, I was losing 3-5 kWh/day!)

For what it’s worth I checked my Tesla Model Y. I have an app called Tessie which is a great app many Tesla owners use. It has a function to track idle time. This is what it recorded on two separate days.

Wow. I'm shocked, is that using any accessories or sentry mode?

I had a bolt and now an Ioniq, ZERO vampire drain. (I accept sentry/guard uses power)

 

[tate16t]

I was surprised as well. No sentry mode but my wife stays connected via BT via her iPhone. The MYP is parked near our bedroom window.

Also, you can add up to 1% loss due to preconditions/heating the cabin in the morning.

No vampire drain since Wednesday night!

So, after posting my MYP data above I did an adjustment. As I mentioned above, my wife was usually connected via Bluetooth. I did not realize both the Tesla and Rivian app settings on the iPhone have a Bluetooth toggle setting as well. For the Rivian I would toggle Bluetooth off from the main setting screen and see drain daily. Wednesday night I toggled Bluetooth off within each app setting and since then I have not since any drain from either vehicle. See the screenshot below of the Rivian settings.

Please give this a shot and see if you have the same experience.

 

[tate16t]

Still no drain since Wednesday. This makes no sense but I’m not complainIng.

Maybe I should go out and check things to make sure she’s still alive

Sweet. Rivian has really struggled with paak in both directions and it makes sense that this feature could still be a problematic balance of functionality and conservation. This is why I focused on exploring the nuances of it. It may be a large part of the vampire drain issue. We know that other things contribute such as the cold, gear guard, sensor issues, poor 12v battery health waking it up and just plain old iot connection.

 

[tate16t]

I just finished washing it. When I enabled BT and launched the app I noticed the red cloud symbol appeared for a few seconds indicating that there was no internet connection. Could this be the cause for no battery drain?

I keep wifi off unless I'm looking for the Rivian update package
