Battery Phantom Drain

[Roy2001]

Alex let his Lightning and R1T sit for 2 weeks and Lightning still shows 100% battery charge but lost about 5 miles, that is about 0.2kWh/day.

Rivian lost 27%, 2.8kWh/day, that is 2500 miles worth of electricity per year.

Wow, that is a huge drain from the Rivian. Even if it didn't go to sleep, that is a lot of power to burn through.

Is this a math question because I don't know what train is going west.

Maybe temperature or connected services or background software.

Tesla was beat up at one time for the huge amount of power the car took when parked. They eventually got it a bit better. They claimed it would take too long to boot up the car so they kept many computers running. Rivian may need to update their adventure.

I don’t speak Rivian. Do those have surveillance / sentry modes? My Ford super duty’s with 2 batteries running Rexing front and back cameras will suck em dry in 5 days to nada but jumper cable time.

No, just idle.

Tesla eats about 1/3kWh per day, not too bad. But I would expect it much lower than that.

You could power two+ refrigerators on the phantom energy drain consumed by the Rivian? I guess the Rivian won't get an "Energy Star" sticker.
