The speedo could be off too - the outside diameter of the tires may not be identical.
They have been absolutely great! I will most likely work with them in the future for all my tire needs as they're down the street and rivian has a contract with them. They have custom pucks I believe to assist with it and have a lot more knowledge then other tire places.
That's really intriguing I had no clue speed/diameter could cause it. It is weird someone has to come out and do it. For some reason I was expecting when they refreshed the system it would reset everything, but to my surprise it didn't! After about 100 miles yesterday the trip planning perfectly estimated the arrival mileage which was pretty cool considering they aren't factory.
Ugh, this varies by locations and whoever / whatever the local Rivian guide wants to do - which we are seeing is highly inconsistent between locations. Rivian is acting on a slippery slope of trying to deny customers with aftermarket parts - which won't end well for Rivian; federal law prohibits such acts (Magnuson Moss Warranty Act).
A couple TPMS facts:
1 - There should be no 'recalibration' needed by Rivian. Swap in new TPMS (FYI sell both Rivian branded TPMS and our own aftermarket TPMS (exact same sensor from the manufacturer who makes the Rivian TPMS, minus the Rivian logo, and we spec a black valve stem and nut - because it looks better!) - neither TPMS requires Rivian to do anything). Just install, and drive - The TPMS auto connect (eventually) and you're done.
2 - That said, be patient! It varies how long you need to drive to get them to connect. This is true for both Rivian TPMS and our aftermarket TPMS. This is normal and not unusual, nor exclusively a Rivian thing. Same sort of connection lag with Tesla, and all other cars. A lot of confusion with customers on this topic....you could drive 2 ft and have them connect - or drive 25+ miles and they haven't connected yet. The nature of TPMS is 'intermittent' communications by design; this is so the internal TPMS batteries last indefinitely - plus, tire pressures are typically slow to change; it is not necessary to have 'constant and instant' tire pressure monitoring. But sometime, they are slow to connect.
3 - What I have found: Drive for over 20 minutes, at highway speeds if possible. This 'typically' works. However, sometimes it hasn't. I have driven home, no connection. Then the next morning I start up and they connect. Sometimes it has take a couple days of driving back and forth to work. Every time, they connected eventually.
Let me know if I can help!
Here is a comparison of the 21" to 20".
ha yes, this can happen too. For instance, we buy Rivian replacement body bolts direct from Rivian. Typically a TP55 head. All of a sudden, we got some with T55 heads! Totally unexplainable, but somewhere in the supply chain a switch (or a mistake) was made! ha ha. Same exact sku, different head. Gotta love auto parts!
For what it's worth, brought them back to discount tire to recalibrate - no issues, they found where it wasn't calibrated correctly and have already fixed it. Pretty impressed! Highly reccomend.
...well I personally think that Rivian logo INSIDE my tire is an easter egg that's worth at least a few hundred bucks! *tongue planted FIRMLY in cheek*Ugh, this varies by locations and whoever / whatever the local Rivian guide wants to do - which we are seeing is highly inconsistent between locations.

That's what I did...I went with 275/60/20 Wildpeak AT3W's on my R1S with aftermarket wheels. I came from 22s as well, so no correction/recalibration needed.
