Rivian Charging Display Glitch: A general problem?

A friend needed to support his son who would be running a 'very cold' marathon on Sunday while rucking a 30 pound pack. The outside temps will be around 15F-20F the whole time. The location of the race is nowhere close to any L2 chargers, but he's not worried about driving distance to or from the race - it is 50 miles away from his house. He says he will be sitting in his ruck with his laptop and watching his live track+Garmin inReach data for the duration of the race (about 4 hours). He thought about taking his Honda EB2800i gasoline powered generator, if he can use the level 1 EVSE attached to the generator and keep the truck running with full heat + power - without really consuming much of the truck's main battery? He feels it's super dorky to have a gas generator running while attached to a Rivian in the woods, just so he can stay warm, but don't know if it would work ok this way and 'preserve' the main battery so he doesn't need to worry about driving range when we wants to head home. He talked to me about it and I told him the simple answer is NO. I tested this theory the other night when I was plugged into a 5.9kW charger. To maintain the interior amenities (interior and exterior lights, radio, heater, seat heaters), it took almost all of the charge. I charged for 15 minutes, it delivered 1.6kW, and the truck consumed 1.4kW, delivering only 0.2kW to the truck battery. Told him he would be using a laptop at another 200ish watts. The little trickle charger charges at 1.4kW on a good day, 1.2kW is normal for me. You can slow the bleed, but you cant stop it. My advise to him was for him to charge it up to 100% at home, and roll the dice is what I would do.

Ome of the things that has impressed me the most, has been Rivian's commitment to continually updating and improving its vehicles and supporting apps. However, I recently noticed a minor issue that I thought was worth bringing to the attention of the app developers and fellow owners.

Noticed this for like 2 days now whenever I plug my R1S in to charge. While the display on the R1S itself correctly shows the 20" wheels that were swapped in at the Service Center (SC), the phone app insists on displaying the original 21" wheels. This error only occurs whenever the car is charging, as other times, the app correctly displays the 20" wheels.

I'm not sure if this is a widespread issue or if it's specific to my vehicle, but I thought it was worth mentioning here in case others have experienced the same problem. It's either the app is pulling data from an outdated database or that there's a glitch in the coding.

Regardless of the cause, I believe that it won't take long to be resolved especially if this gets to their customer review desk. Rivian has always been a customer friendly company who listens to complaints and work on them ASAP. With that in mind, I know this won't be any different for them.
