From FB group... speculation that air suspension leveling could contribute to vampire energy drain.

Anyone see the Reddit post on this? Sounds like a Rivian software engineer (who posts on r/Rivian on Reddit) helped determine the root cause of phantom drain for at least one person & he posted about it on Reddit: faulty sensors for the frunk lid that kept waking up the Rivian & preventing deep sleep.

I posted about the development & speculation about the cause (new frunk ā€œheadlinerā€ snap-to clips vs. better more-expensive magnets) here:

I wonder if this is why shipping mode requests that you put the vehicle in lowest suspension height.

My truck seems to be doing MUCH better since the last update. I havenā€™t done the EVSE testing like Iā€™ve done before, but it looks like Iā€™m losing 1-3 miles now over 24 hours.

Which version is this specifically?

Iā€™m on 2022.43.2 for current software version. The truck has pulled 2.0kWh through the EVSE over the course of 32 hours (thatā€™s just how long itā€™s been plugged in and not moved).

Wrapping up a full 7 day trip:
9% loss or 26miles of estimated range.

1.29% per day. Gear Guard on, suspension left in all purpose. 45-50F temps.

Thatā€™s not bad with gear guard ON.

Parked car last night at 11 PM outside at 50% SOC. Just checked and itā€™s still at 50%. Just picked up the truck so all settings are factory. Overnight temps in the mid 30s here in SoCal.

Last week was 1.5% average per night with the truck parked outside at an average 8Ā°F, gear guard off. Iā€™ll do the same test this week with gear guard on and see what changes. Average low temperature will probably be similar but a couple nights will dip below 0Ā°F.

That's sarcasm, right?

Our R1T is losing between 20 to 30 miles at night consistently, since we picked it up. Our Tesla Y does not lose any mileage when sitting overnight. Rivian Phone support has had ideas to try, but nothing improves it. Rivian scheduled a Service appointment, first appointment available is 3 months away. I bring the rivian to Plymouth, Michigan.

I'm on 2022.43.0 and I lost 4% since this morning at 7:00am when my charging stops. In a heated garage, 48 degrees, gear guard disabled at home, proximity key disabled at home.

This version of software isn't great. I keep getting errored out when trying to wake vehicle on the app, and most of the time, changing the charge limit also fails after timing out.
