The trip computer adds the energy added to the battery at a charging stop to the total used during the trip. That's double counting. (The energy app does it. correctly.) In the example below, I added about 60 kWh at the charger:
The screenshot on the left is what I see when charging. As soon as I stop and start driving I get the one on the right. But it's during charging that it's most useful to see the battery temp. Yes, maybe I could get it in Service mode but why not here???
I think I've finally understood what the donut chart on the right hand side of the energy monitor screen means. Here's an example:
Let the numbers shown below the donuts be denoted:
W = net wheels (this is net of used - regen)
S = systems
H = HVAC
O = outlets
and the...
The recent improvements to the NAV system haven't fixed my biggest gripe: when I zoom out the map to the scale that I like it insists on scaling it back to some default every time I click on a charging icon and then dismiss it. I have to zoom back out again to see the next one that I'm...
The altitude display is sometimes badly off. I drove up to Lick Observatory yesterday which is at about 4200 ft and when I stopped the display said 2200. It got better after approx 30 minutes in Park. When I got back to my home at 740 ft the display said 336 and stayed that way for hours in my...
A Rivian mobile service tech fixed my stuck powered tonneau cover today. The fix: lots of water! After messing a round a little with his computer he asked for a hose and sprayed a ton of water all over the thing. Et voila! Now it works ”as new”. But just to be safe, I’m leaving it open until the...
Quick video of my R1T going up Hell's Gate in Moab. I could have taken a slightly better line. And it might have been better going a little faster to maybe avoid some of the tire slipping. But this is a lot harder than it looks, going fast would be terrifying. Lockers would help a LOT.
It seems that the left screen doesn't know what the right screen is doing:
The left screen claims that we have 177 miles left. But the right screen says we'll end our trip in 126 miles with 30 miles left, implying a total of only 156 left at the current time. I'm *guessing* that the left number...
Another of our objectives for our recent trip was to see what kind of energy efficiency we would get when off road. Using the trip computer I got data from 5 trails:

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was a time of joy, it was a time of frustration, it was a time of confidence, it was a time of bitter experience, in short a fortnight both rewarding and expensive.
It started out well enough. We cruised from home (in Redwood City CA) to...
