Read an article once about a new Rivian owner (who traded in her Model X for the R1S) who plugged her R1S into a wall outlet at night. The next morning, she had about 15 fewer miles on the car than when it was plugged in the previous night. My best guess is that the R1S was probably "running" or something was going on with the HVAC system. According to the article, the garage was noticeably warmer in the morning, which means the car was giving off heat all night.
I wanted to share my two cents on the issue in case a new Tesla owner joins Trailrivian and encounters a similar problem. They might be able to find a solution or at least something close.
For anyone who has experienced something like this and has a Tesla charger at home, here's a helpful tip: you can use a Level 2 Tesla charger at home with your Rivian if you get a Tesla to J-1772 adapter, such as the A2Z Stellar Tesla to J-1772 adapter.
This is the same adapter you'll use for Tesla destination chargers commonly found in hotels, parking lots, shopping centers, and Airbnb. This is a much better option than using Level 1 charging.
Another tip I recommend is setting your vehicle to lock only at home, so it doesn't unlock when in close proximity and waste energy, especially on Level 1.
You'll need the DC Level 3 Typhoon Pro adapter to charge your Rivian at eligible Tesla Superchargers. You can bundle the A2Z Stellar AC Level 2 Tesla to J-1772 adapter for $75 additional (after discount) by using the dropdown on the Level 3 Typhoon Pro adapter page to get both adapters.
