- Rivian R1T
Ya it’s not “normal” compared to Virtually every other EV and it’s up to us to make sure Rivian doesn’t consider this normal. It’s certainly not normal on my Tesla.One would hope, but it currently seems a fair number of folks here are being told this is “normal.”
I have a few ideas on how to proceed. I actually did open up my Lightning invitation to order and I just don’t think that truck is for me - especially with the current prices.
For now, when I get back I’m going to try shipping mode both plugged in and unplugged to gather some data. I’m also going to turn off WiFi and take the battery out of my key fob. My taillights blink intermittently while the R1T is parked in my carport at home. I mentioned it to service and guess what? It’s “normal.” They said if the fob is within a whopping 100 feet of the truck that such behavior is normal. I even put my key fob in an RFID blocking box and the blinking still occurs. Seems odd to me that Rivian’s engineers can’t program smarter or more efficient behavior.
I’m open to other ideas if people have any.
