Last week, my friend Lucy was telling me about this weird thing she encountered with her Rivian R1T the other day, and it's got me wondering if anyone else has seen something similar. So she was driving home from work last Thursday at around 5:30 PM, a 15-mile commute, and noticed her dashboard range didn’t drop at all—stuck at 96 miles the whole way. She casually laughed it off, saying maybe Rivian figured out some magic battery trick, but it was definitely odd. The next morning, she said the range finally adjusted to what it should’ve been, like the system was lagging behind. She wasn't too stressed about it, but she was super curious about what caused it. Could it be a software glitch? Or maybe something deeper, like supply chain hiccups from all the tariff chaos going around?
Like my previous thread, she has also heard rumors about Rivian’s production lines pausing, and it’s got her wondering if tariffs are slowing down fixes or parts for stuff like this. So she dug into her Home Assistant setup, which tracks her R1T’s data, to see if it caught the same issue. Sure enough, it showed no range drop during the drive, even though the car was in “GO” mode from 5:30 to 6:00 PM. Instead, it logged the car as asleep, then waking up around 8 PM to update the battery and range. Weirder still, it showed “READY” status from 3:30 to 5:30 PM when she wasn’t even near the vehicle. Makes me wonder, shouldn’t it have been asleep?
She told me she's not freaking out, just intrigued by the quirk. With all the tariff war stuff hitting manufacturing, she’s wondering if Rivian’s dealing with delays in software updates or components that might explain these glitches. Anyone else’s Rivian acting up like this? Could the tariff mess be holding up fixes for these kinds of bugs? Curious to hear your thoughts. Also, I haven't experienced such before so I couldn't really offer her much of an advice.
