Announcing our new "CLUBS" section where you can join or create a Rivian club or group! You can use this new feature to conveniently plan and discuss local events, gatherings or other club/group related topics.
So we encourage you to join (or start) special-interest and regional-based Rivian clubs at: https://www.rivianforums.com/forum/group-categories/clubs-groups.1/
Thank you for the note. I'll have to focus on that a little more. I'm very new to this process.
what do you mean "stays on the network"? you have it connected to your home wifi?I left the truck unplugged in the garage last night. Here is the pattern I usually see.
Ignore the short blip close to "now" as I was doing some network work.
Truck goes to sleep for about 3 hours, then wakes up and stays on the network for about an hour. Wash, rinse, repeat.
Pattern is usually similar when plugged in "idle" - when going to a full active charge it tends to chat more and stay awake while doing so.
No, this isn't checking consumption of juice. Just a data point for those looking at things.
Yes, latest OTA.
Naturally. How else is it going to binge watch old WKRP episodes? Duh...
Correct. Truck is on my home WiFi and it stays active as a client. When it is asleep, it isn’t active as a client. The screenshot I had shows when it is awake at an active client (green bars) vs asleep and inactive
So after the last update "shipping mode" is actually making an impact? In the past it literally did nothing meaningful.
I'm not sure if the updates did anything, I've tried shipping mode twice and had the same results both times. I've done 3 ota updates since I got mine in February. I'm not an early adopter I bought mine with 500 miles on it.
That was me i think cuz thats why i saw on mine. I would try it again, we might not be all having the same drain causes which could explain why some people would have shipping mode success and some not. I don't care about the drain enough to always park with shipping mode I just tried it to see if my drain would go away and it did. I also did it without it being plugged in and even though it says you can keep the keys in the car I locked mine each time I did it. I'm in a colder climate than NY but each time I've monitored mine I've done it at my house in my garage. My garage is insulated but not heated, it doesn't drop below 40f that I've ever noticed.This is from the most recent owners Manual which was released last week (3/27/2023) regarding Shipping mode:
With the above in mind, I'm a bit skeptical that it will reduce Vampire Drain from 1.5kWh/day to 0.1kWh overnight as one poster mentioned above. But, I will give it a try...
Probably would help, I think even if you turn proximity off at home it's still powering all those Bluetooth antennas the same as any other time. Most cars use RFID for unlocking and proximity but that wouldn't work for a phone.If you check your bluetooth connections, your phone is constantly connecting to your Rivian sensors. I am not sure if turning off bluetooth would help battery drain. I left the bluetooth connections screen on and there is quite a lot of activity where it connects and disconnects constantly while the app is closed.
