Fascinating post & story from a reddit user, it seems that the trunk latch failing to fully engage prevented his Rivian from going to sleep fully.
Wonder if phantom drain could be traced to incomplete closures and/or sensor glitches on other thresholds like a door, the gear tunnel, and/or the rear hatch on the R1S.
I am wondering if the āincomplete closureā of the frunk could be linked to the removal of the magnet attachments on the top-most front plastic element in front of the frunk, above the grille, under the frunk lid [thanks Munro ]. Those connectors, now no longer high-quality magnets, are plastic snap connectors.
Thereās a new āout-of-spec detailingā YouTube video (covering build issues heās seeing on Rivians) [at ~12:00 mark, key point at ~12:50] where they pointed out the frunk interior ātopperā plastic piece snap-to clasps arenāt fully engaged below, so that piece is just sitting above the grille, loose & can be easily lifted.
Iām guessing Rivian needs to add QC on the line for this new assembly point to ensure all of the pieces are fully engaged & sensors are accurately reading whether or not the frunk is fully latched closed - Iām guessing a lot of these are disengaging sleep intermittently just like this Redditorās Rivian.
Thoughts?
