Colorado Checking In

[Sgt Beavis]

Did you see any Red Canyon R1T's with the 20" AT's?

There were two there yesterday. I didn’t check the wheels/tires but almost everything was 20” ATs.

Im so heading to the SC tomorrow to look around and see an R1S in person. Finally.

Hoping mine will be on the way soon!

Having seen it in person several times now (Venice Hub), I really like its stance. I personally think it feels more aggressive than even the R1T. Plus, it's not as big as it appears in photos.

That's not good news - my least favorite tire. I love the look of the 22's and the range of the 21's. I wouldn't ever consider getting the 20's with the loss of range.

Ok. Why is that bad news? They are starting to deliver R1S SUVs.

I guess to each their own. I love the look of the AT 20’s. To me the loss of range isn’t that big a deal. But get whatcha like, that’s what matters the most!

@Ccomtois could you please ask the reps there when they might start R1S First Mile Drive events?
Thanks.

There is no bad news with R1S coming!

That’s why there’s like 6 options!!

Good news for me anyway haha, hopefully one of them is mine.

just be aware that they’re keeping them inside the garage at the moment. I asked if I could check one out, and they nicely, but firmly told me to buzz off. Hopefully you’ll find someone working there who’s willing to let you take a look.

two weeks ago we changed our configuration to what Rivian was actively building and getting our R1T today. Could have received sooner but a business trip got in the way! Bye bye max pack but wanted a guaranteed tax credit. Cya on the road

oct 21 order
Silver, FE, 21s, no spare (yet)
eventually plan for 20s during winter but no hurry while aftermarket catches up.

Did some light offroading at Left Hand Lake near Ward. Spent 60 miles of range, in conserve to go 35 miles up into the mountains. But then went from the lake to Lyons. That was a 29 mile drive in which I gained 9 miles of range.

This is gonna take done getting used to.

This brings up the question; when in conserve mode, do only the front wheel regen power? If so, does it make sense to go down a mountain in All purpose mode?

Yeah I think so, I'm pretty sure the rear motors are disconnected from the drive train when in conserve mode which would prevent them from being used for regen.

This one's a little tougher. It would definitely be a cool experiment to carry out. I would think you would see some increase in the amount of range recaptured but it might not be very meaningful.
