I can’t speak to the 20” AT tires, but I swapped out my 21” Pirellis for 21” Michelin Defenders, with the hope of getting better tread life. Very, very happy with them, but obviously do not have the AT look. As for location, I went to Discount Tire in Waukesha, though they have a Brookfield...

I’ve never had to use the Menomonee Falls service center, but no issues in winter. I know some have had issues with sliding on steep driveways due to the weight, but I’ve never encountered anything unusual or that I’m not used to, and the ability to raise the suspension makes it easy to push...

The DoE announcement calls it a loan, not a guarantee, but I don’t know for sure. https://www.energy.gov/lpo/articles/doe-announces-657-billion-loan-rivian-support-construction-ev-manufacturing-facility

I generally love purple cars but have really only thought about them on smaller vehicles, especially some of the purples BMW has had over the years. This would look great on an R3x, but I’d need to see it in person on an R1S.

For me, I haven’t really noticed a difference in tire noise, but I haven’t specifically been looking for it. Wine noise is the bigger concern with my truck so I’ve never been bothered by the tires.

My comment is in reference to dry pavement grip, not snow traction. I haven’t used them in snow yet.

I haven't done a stopping test, but they definitely aren't as grippy as the Pirellis. Not in a way that is concerning though.

YMMV, but I was also told that the Michelins were back ordered for several weeks. I opted to wait and they arrived in eight days. Getting them installed tomorrow.

Looks like it’s under the rear floor.

2027?? Ugh.

I can’t with this “community experience” discussion because there’s a volume knob for the passenger. Like, the Traveler is cool on its own but this has too much silly marketing speak.

Whoops. I had them backward. I meant the Traveler.

Interior looks pretty good, maybe a little busy. I’m liking the SUV/Traveler a lot so far. The ceiling console with physical buttons looks pretty nice and there’s an available front bench seat for those who want the extra seating.

I think the truck looks like a cheap R1T knockoff but the SUV looks fantastic.

Some have reported that it only happens if you deactivate the costume with the brake pedal. If you deactivate with the app, it doesn’t seem to happen.
