Relatively easy in city traffic with the Gen2 and street tires. I consistently see 3+ in those conditions. Downhill helps too. lol

The charging curve on our GV60 is way, way better than the Rivian. If that holds for the GV90, capacity is way less of an issue.

For sure - but the issue remains if you leave the doors unlocked. It won't sleep. For camp mode, this should be, IMO, straightforward and default behavior.

^^^^ 100% this ^^^^ I'm going to go on a rant ... @Rivian - we need this. Now. Let's say, not at all hypothetically, that you're heading somewhere that is decidedly off-grid and 40% SOC away from a charger (in this direction). Boondocks camping. No cell service for 10 miles in any...

Most of us have experienced little to no degradation so far, including the high-milers. As you and your dad are probably aware, battery degradation is most pronounced with time*(high SOC + high temp). If he's charging to 100% then setting off, as I imagine he would do for his long trips, the...

I recall this being somewhat pervasive with early Gen1 builds (I never had the issue on my G1), but today I got the escalating warnings of first "motor fault, performance limited" then shortly thereafter "pull over immediately" (I can't recall the exact language). Hard reset did the trick, at...

Gen2 dual made an enormous, quantifiable difference over my Gen1. On my G1 would consistently see around 340-350miles of range in conserve, with all-purpose tires (Michelins or the stock 21s), on the highway keeping the speeds low. That's about 2.7. So it's a meaningful upgrade...

Not anywhere near as bad as the Pirellis, FWIW. I find the KO series to be pretty great on highway considering how capable they are. Of course, I also have the 22s that I'll switch back to when I want more quiet and less electron use.

Figured someone would want pics of the KO3s that just got mounted, because Chonky. Stock size, no rubbing in low (as expected). Efficiency will be terrible, also as expected. I'm guessing 2.4 vs. the 3 I get today on the stock Pirelli 22's. FYI - these TPMS fit just fine and sync'd within a...

It was them who told me they would not supply, and need to supply my own. FYI rolled the dice, got some from Amazon, reviewed by some Rivian folks as functional. KO3s go on tomorrow.

Managed to get myself into a small and stupid situation this week. Need to accelerate receipt of TMPS, aftermarket is fine. Would normally go with one of the site sponsors but I am (again, stupidly) out of time. Recommendations on Amazon-sourced options for the R1?

The R2 will be perfectly fine for trails rated 3-4 by OnX. That said, I would very much recommend getting sliders and underbody protection, because the cost to repair a Rivian vs. a Wrangler is orders of magnitude. I'm picking up another Jeep (my 4th) in a few weeks as the off-road toy...

Those are great!

$5k is a very small spread between variants - expect that to double, at least, in the next year.

Depends on what you've experienced to date. Dampers, jounce lines, various wiggly/rattley bits, 12V ... the list could be long, but if you're not experiencing any issues, then you should be good.
