I've had this since day #1 and have found that I can repeat it when using very little accelerator input and trying to maintain ≈3mph. It feels like a harmonic shutter in the driveline to me. I have also noticed it quite a few times when accelerating hard from a roll. This may vary a little among...

No, I am talking about battery temp preconditioning. We have explicit control over cabin temp preconditioning but, not the battery. Yes, it does happen automatically for the battery however, that temperature threshold for activation of battery preconditioning seems to be much lower than what...

For the cabin yes but, not the battery explicitly.

No choice for this now unfortunately but, it should be coming s00n... What updates and features can owners expect soon? Google Cast Integration: Available in the next update (2024.47), it will support over 3,000 apps, including YouTube. Text-to-Speech Messaging: A new voice stack will bring...

The "in-line heating element" still could be the inverter/motor. Might just be clever wording on Rivian's part to try and cloak the battery heating method they borrowed from Tesla. Is your Gen 2 battery the same chemistry as the Gen1 or is it LFP?

That battery temp threshold jives with the info from this article... https://stories.rivian.com/cold-weather-testing

I will say those numbers do not add up to me and, fortunately it worked in your favor :) I'd have guesstimated something in the 1.7-1.8 range. You must have been going downhill quite a bit or had those extreme wind gusts at your back ? 2.26 mi/kwh is a "normal" spring/fall efficiency for me...

My driver's front spring will typically sit 1-2" lower than the passenger side after sitting parked overnight. It will also slowly leak down several inches over several days if not driven. I opened a ticket, the service center inspected it and said the system is "well within spec" after sitting...

Well... looks like we might s00n (next year) have control over this. Assuming we can activate this while not driving and on shore power. What updates and features can owners expect soon? Google Cast Integration: Available in the next update (2024.47), it will support over 3,000 apps, including...

Use the left stalk headlight selector switch to turn the exterior lights off.

I'll believe that when I see it unfortunately. Until I see proof we have control over battery pre-conditioning, I will assume that it will be status quo, and only the vehicle will determine when to precondition the battery prior to a drive (if battery temps are super low <14°F). I read that...

Similar weather...ish ? . Your winter weather just flat out sucks. Indy weather is a roll of the dice week to week. A few weeks ago we drove from French Lick to Indy (about 1.5 hours). The truck was cold soaked and the battery pack started off in the low 20's and had maybe gotten into the high...

I think many people here have complained about the poor steering tracking and attributed it to alignment. I questioned it at first but have proven to myself multiple times that the alignment is in fact "OK", a couple different ways. When driving on a more "rural" crowned road, I notice a...

If you received Pre-March 2021 pricing, you got a great deal and should not be shocked at the price increase if you have kept up on any Rivian news. Startup EV maker trying to get their feet sunk in and need to make money. Is your vampire drain significant enough that it is really worth trading...

If your batteries started off @ 18°, likely yes. It completely depends on the temperature, your charge level, and how much work is being performed by the battery/inverters/regen system. Lots of stop & go heats things up quicker. You can view the "amount" of available regen power in the power...

Glad it was an easy fix for the coolant leak. That being said, I don't think the leak was related to your cold weather behavior. The battery warming behavior you described in the OP is normal from what I have observed over the last few years. This article can help understand some of the cold...

Time for standstill donuts!

Awesome, thank you! So... It still stands that we definitely need an explicit way to precondition batteries before a trip. I have to believe this is on their update roadmap ?

You do, and that is A-OK ? . The world is in a very heavy learning phase when it comes to EVs, especially charging and temperatures. Just because the vehicle is plugged into EVSE does not mean it is drawing current from the EVSE. Once you reach your charge limit, it will shut off until it...

It has much less to do with the time spent charging and much more to do with your charge rate (L1 vs L2 vs L3) and level. Even then, all the scenarios vary. Charging at a higher charge level >80% will start to increase the battery temps to a "warm" level faster. Charging using L1 isn't going to...
