20 inch AT wheels only selectable with all-terrain upgrade

[SciGuy]

Interesting. Any changes to pricing from what is in the 'visualizer'?

Pricing looks consistent, but now the shield, wheels, and spare must be purchased together or not at all.

This is good to know. I haven't locked in my tire desire yet.

One option has been to simply buy the 20" AT tires and a spare. Doing this, I would accept the range hit and increased wear.

My other other option would be to have two sets of tires, one the 20" AT's, the other the 21" road tires. For pavement trips, use the 21" with a 20" as a spare. For snow or logging roads, use the 20" with a 21" spare.

If they aren't willing to make adjustments so that I can do the second option, I may just have to go with the first option and see how that works.

In the configurator I can access, you can only select the 20 inch with spare along with the package or none of those items. So if you want the 21s or 22s then there’s no spare option.

Hah, so they require the spare and RUS to get the 20s now, but those of us who got the RUS and 20s had our spare removed from our config and you still can't get one in the shop. Ridiculous.

Go figure. Sounds like they’re adjusting configuration options on the fly maybe depending on availability or modifications to the production line. I imagine they don’t want to piss off people who have already chosen a config and seems like they’re just limiting options for new folks.

I can see a case for 21’s for max efficiency and the RUS because the owner plans to also buy a set of 20s with AT tires to be able to go where a RUS is important.

Yeah. Has anyone been able to purchase an entire set of new wheels/tires from Rivian or has that all been aftermarket or used?

 

[SciGuy]

Don't worry, things will change 12 times before you get your vehicle.

So how does the process work from here? I haven’t gotten any messages from a guide, only the email to access the configurator.

That's me. Essentially got 2 sets of tires for the cost of one lol. The old configuration always made me laugh that not more took advantage.

I got everything but tires since I want better off road tires when I out the 20s on. Will cost me about $500 more to have 2 sets than the price they wanted for upgraded 20 package.

Sounds like there is a strong possibility I will be going with a basic off-road package (I want that added underbody protection). I'd rather err on the side of too much off-road stuff, than end up with something that is a pavement star but struggles on snow or rough roads.

Soon....you'll get a guide that will make u feel comfortable and good about your purchase and then they will stop returning your messages for weeks...followed by delays on a quarterly basis hoping that u cancel to give priority to 2023 orders ?

Hmm that's a new development. I was wanting the skid plates but 21s for range. I guess i can always put more efficient tires on later.

Or trade with the hundreds of people with 21’s who want 20’s— this guy included ?

wait you’re in Pasadena too? Let’s make a deal! ?

The AT upgrade was only 1800 or 3500 for the darks (pre March) and if you buy AT’s after it’s 4100– not exactly two for one unless I’m not understanding something.

Pre. Wheels were

Pre, Darks. $3500. I got them for $2900 with tpms and center caps. $1100 or so for tires. Got "free set of 21s"

So it’s really 2 sets of wheels plus $4k?
