Sitting uncharged in Winter for 10 days - Tips?

[Johnsykas]

We are headed skiing in the Dolomites, Italy and will be leaving Rivian uncharged at bus station for 10 days. Some of those days like Saturday will be well below zero. I will turn off cameras and shuttle alarm. What is best charge to leave it sit at for 10 days? Is there anything else I should do to make sure it has at least 80 miles charge when we return?

That all makes sense to me. It might be worth looking at the frunk trim removal, vampire drain thread if you're seeing 2-4% drain a night or if your vehicle doesn't go to sleep.

Vampire Drain Relating to Frunk Trim -- my solution to reduce drain %

Otherwise, it might be worth disabling Wifi to prevent the system from searching for a network.

Remove your frunk trim? See above.

In all seriousness, hopefully the new OTA will fix this and you'll have no issues.

I left my R1T at an airport over Christmas for 12 days straight. It lost about 1.5% charge per day from what I remember. I didn't turn off Gear Guard or do anything special.

I was told by a service rep to put it in Shipping Mode next time.

You should be fine charged fully. I lost roughly 1.9% daily over 14 days but indoors at circa 50F.

You could also take Uber to the bus station?

Just start a fire underneath and in the back seat before you go and you'll be fine. ?

My truck stayed unplugged and locked in a WY unheated hangar for two weeks. Lost 22%. Plugged in 120V gaining 2% every 24 hours...

There's a bus from PA to Italy?


As a total aside, we did a week in the French Alps (Peisey/Vallandry) during January a few years ago. Snow was amazing (fell about a foot each night for the first three nights - perfectly clear during the day). Best skiing ever. ER was amazing as well.
