10-Day Airport Parking -- SOC Charge Report With Gear Guard ON

• Parked charge: 90%
• Pickup charge: 76%
• Time: 4am on July 20th to 11:45pm on July 29th, 10 full days
• Temps: withering in the DC area. around 100 degrees. R1S was parked in parking garage under building, but at surface level near back of first row
• R1S state: locked, gear guard on
• App usage: None. Did not open app entire duration, even with the new 2.0 version coming out and a lot of curiosity, I resisted
• Events: More foot and vehicle traffic than I expected. This hotel is popular for both people staying and for people parking for the nearby airport. Looking at the gear guard videos it recorded roughly 40 videos a day. Mostly people walking by with luggage or parking in the spaces to the left/right. No "incidents" as I was parked very close to a pillar that protected on that side and gave plenty of room on the other. A lot of videos of people pointing and looking in the windows, but only briefly as their travel partner usually waved for them to hurry up for their flight or shuttle
• Other: After the full 10 days of it sitting there, the suspension appeared to be a little lower than standard as I approached, but it was late and I didn't look closely. I had the key fob in my backpack and the Rivian woke up and handles popped out without hesitation about 10 ft from the vehicle. Got in it, dropped it in drive, picked up the family and luggage at the hotel drop off loop, and then drove the 30 minutes home. Parked it in the garage and didn't plug it in, same charge available next morning.

Went on an Alaskan Cruise with the family on July 20th through the 29th and parked our R1S for the duration in a nearby parking garage. Had a great outcome charging it to 100% for the 30 minute ride, parked it with 90% remaining and returned to it with 76% remaining. Here are the details:

• Parked charge: 90%
• Pickup charge: 76%
• Time: 4am on July 20th to 11:45pm on July 29th, 10 full days
• Temps: withering in the DC area. around 100 degrees. R1S was parked in parking garage under building, but at surface level near back of first row

Overall very happy with the performance considering gear guard was on. I am glad we put it in the garage there because the area had a lot of bad thunderstorms during the week with some marble and even quarter size hail.

Just got back from being gone for 10 days in Prague and Munich with both R1S and Model 3 at 80% unplugged, no security and unlocked.

Checked each vehicle twice a day on apps and came home to Model 3 at 76% and R1S at 68%.

Rivian can do better and hope it does.

Obviously the concern was the 12V battery status while sitting in the garage for 10 days. Both have no issues.

Model 3 doesn’t have air suspension that tries to adjust every time you wake it out of sleep mode by checking on the app. Probably could’ve seen +3/4% by leaving it alone.
