Yes. I installed 2023.14.3 and have noticed a dramatic increase in drain while parked. Before I'd lose <1% over the course of a day but now I'm loosing upwards of 10%. No video is being saved to the SSD while it's parked, so I'm not sure why the drain has gotten so much worse.
You meant 2023.14.0 right? and not 3? There is a 2023.18 in beta testing but I have not see it yet in my car. If my car leave unused for a 24 hours period, I would lose close to 5%. This sucks donkey balls if they can't fix it.

I'm at a little over 1% per day on 2023.14.

I'm on a flexible power plan where the first 400kw between 00:00 and 06:00 is $0.00 per kw. The house uses between 1.0kw to 1.8kw at night depending on OAT. So the first 350kw or so for my R1T are free. So far the vampire drain is annoying, especially since I sometimes have to leave the truck parked for up to 6 weeks. But at least I can leave it plugged in while I'm away and it's not hitting my wallet.

No, I do mean 2023.14.3. That is the version I'm running on my R1T.

is it the firmware for R1T only? I don't see it for the r1S. It looks like the next one for R1s is 2023.18.0

10%?! yikes.

i dont think my vehicle is draining that much or i would have noticed but going to check tonight to see how much drain with 2023.14.0, which is what i am on.

my last test on 2023.10.1 was <1% per day over the period of 4 days.

Just got back to Cincinnati from a 15 day trip. R1T was parked outside, unplugged and in shipping mode and I lost 11% battery.

can folks who have vehicles comment on how much battery percentage they are losing overnight when not plugged in? im wondering if things have improved or not with all the various s/w updates Rivian has been making. if you wouldn't mind sharing your VIN range, that would be appreciated.

i know some folks were seeing 2-3% loss overnight, that seems like a lot.

TFL is saying a service technician told them 3-12% battery loss over a 24 hour period is normal depending on weather. if that's true, that sounds crazy.
I just left my R1S for 3 weeks. It had 74% when I left it and now has 57%. Gear Guard was off… but I’m ok with that amount of drain.

Someone mentioned that if something (with metal) is sitting on the wireless charger, the truck doesn't go to sleep. Add that to the Spotify playing music for the truck when no one is there, Heating all the sensors for no reason in the cold, running the AC to cool who knows what, frunk sensor and carseat seatbelt being clipped as more millienial programmers having fun. This is getting old...

Somewhere there's a little Dutch boy with no more fingers to stick in the dyke. That code stack must fundamentally be a total mess.

I wonder when a company will come out with an EV focused on Hardware over Software? Some kind of retro inspired truck/suv that has buttons and knobs, and lets the driver pick when the vehicle is on or off.

I can work with the 1% drain per day, I don’t like it but it is workable. What bothers me is, why does it have to be like this. Our Taycan had virtually zero drain. We left it for the month of January and the battery stayed exactoy as we left it - so it is possible to do better, Rivian

Currently at the service center where they parked the car outside for a week without doing any service !! lost about 7% (21 miles) for 6 days. Temperatures outside is 100 plus daily here.
