Chewing critters are apparently very fond of the soy-based wire insulation which is increasingly used as a green alternative to petrochemical wire insulation.
Since many Rivian owners will be camping in or with their vehicles that means they will be parked for extended periods in nature. Is there any published information about type of insulation Rivian is using or if there are any deterrents in the insulation or conduits if it is soy-based? I didn't see anything in the forums while searching, but I figured I’d ask here before asking CS.
I’ve seen a lot of people who park outside in the high desert keep their hoods up on their newer ICE vehicles so the under hood area isn’t both room and board for the rodents. The vulnerable areas for the Rivians may be inaccessible to us but all-too-accessible for the gnawing critters so I’m curious.
