I was plugged into 120v at work for 10 hours on Monday. It was -20F (-32F with windchill!) to start and about 8F when I unplugged. I gained about 10kW net with 1.4kW to accessory and 0.4kW to cabin and battery temps.
Wow, that's great to hear. Assuming (?) you were pulling 12A on a 15A circuit, that's 1.44kW. Over 10 hours the outlet could provide 14.4kW (probably under 13kW considering charging losses), and you got 10kW in to your battery. That's fantastic...I am surprised that the Rivian battery can charge at those temps while only using 0.4kW or less to warm itself first. I guess battery chemistry keeps marching on.

that's great info @RivianDeac
of course now I wish I got the 6. I don't think I'm going to need it this weekend, maybe I will cancel and search for a 6 awg. Do you have any links to share on the adapters you got? Finally, last question for you or anyone else who may know...when pulling from a normal 120v outlet, what should I set the amps to on the infotainment system? in the instruction manual it says the current on 120v is 12 amps. I assume I should set it around that level? It also says it draws 1.3 kw. Is that 1.3Kw per hour? if that were true it sounds like 12 hours of charging should easily cover vampire drain, hopefully that's true in the cold. I'm just looking to stay flat while parked for a couple of days.

NP man!

This is is the company I bought all my adapters and cords from:

I found this to be very helpful too:
