Can we change the speed threshold at which the R1S drops to low ride height?

My recollection is that the Rivian guide at delivery said he set mine to 55 mph. I can’t find a setting in the manual or the menus. I’d like to increase it to a higher speed.

I am not aware of a way to change the speed at which it lowers. Just that you can choose low/ med/ high/ off for all purpose and at “highway speed” it lowers Unless you turned it off. Maybe it’s something they can set at the service center? ??‍♂

Just turn off auto ride height. That should disable any changes except high over 50 mph.

Weird — mine lowers at 45mph when it’s in High in All Purpose. Can I change that somehow? High/AP is my preferred setting (apart from lowest / Sport :).

No I don’t think you can change that. In standard it won’t do that.

Can't say exactly what Rivian's algorithm is....but usually around 55-60 sustained it will lower it. No way to change the speed its just on/off with the auto ride height setting. What you could do is just manually switch it into low when you want. My wife's complains that the ride is too "bouncy" in low on anything but 100% smooth highway.

It's annoying that the vehicle height drops at only 45 mph. But Rivian double downed on this annoyance by not bringing it back up to the high mode once your speed drops to a sustained 30 mph (which is the speed that manually allows you to raise it back to high).
