Well, some disappointing news. I was having virtually no vampire drain using the battery tender. My truck sat for a week while I was overseas. Lost almost no power and Electrafi basically said no vampire drain.
I installed the latest update and drain is back. I was gone on another trip for not...
Very happy with the overall combo. The truck feels more nimble on its feet than before. I'd do it all over again but even sooner knowing what I know now.
Catch @Atomic Wheels when on sale and they are an even better value. The Goodyears are very affordable on top of it.
If you go to Discount Tire, they won’t touch your tire if it has less than 4/32 of tread left. So based on that you have about 5/32 left.
Also check your math. I think it might be wrong.
Been there, done that with my Plaid. I went to a square fitment when I installed very lightweight, forged wheels. I still have the staggered fitment on my Model 3 Performance. Not sure if I want to invest in yet another set of wheels. Not to mention the tire warranties are cut in half, if there...
Wow, just think how many revisions they'll need to get the tonneawning or awnneau-ing to work correctly if the current powered tonneau cover is any indication. I can hardly wait.
It will be a very short awning if it is the length of the bed... Might provide coverage for just a few hours out of...
I had the OEM 20" Pirellis on for a while and they were very loud. I couldn't believe how bad they got.
Wait for one of the @Atomic Wheels sales and pick up a set. I absolutely love my wheels. I was really debating on finish but the satin is nicely understated and wrapping them with the...
It didn't transform my truck from a rhino into a ballerina, but I noticed the difference. Went from a rhino to more of a giraffe. The lower rotating mass also helped with acceleration too, which helped offset the weight of my topper (~200 pounds).
I think the savings were over 10 pounds per...
I would say yes, the OEM 21" Pirell all season "road tire" are quieter than the good years below about 25 mph. The Goodyears have a more aggressive tread that you really only hear below about 20-25 mph.
At speed, they are very quiet. The noise is very low and more of a slight hum. You might not...
I personally would love to see some Dragy runs. Except when on the highway when I might be in Coserve low or lowest, I am normally in Sport low or lowest. It is more likely the front will be on the bump stops than the rear in my experience.
The Atomic Wheels definitely helped my enjoyment of...
Overall this brings up an interesting point indirectly. If the new Quad will be rolling on these tires, you'd hope that Rivian would retune the suspension to accommodate them. if so, will there be a setting in the UI where you can adjust your suspension if running these tires?
Given how poorly...
it wasn’t for a week, it was for almost a month if I read it correctly. I believe it was from May 2 to May 28. That is a pretty long time to keep it at a continuously high state of charge. it would be more like at max state of charge not just high. If it were only a week, I probably wouldn't...
No R2 for me even though I have a deposit on one. I'd buy an R2T though. Have a deposit on a Slate and much more likely I'll covert it than the R2.
I think the R1T is the better vehicle when it comes to ride quality. I love the versatility of have a bed, a trunk in the bed and the gear tunnel...
Thanks for sharing your insights. Maybe they'd work better with an R1T which already seems better planted.
How bad did they hit your efficiency? I am asking as I know many others will want to know. I personally don't care as I am more interested in grip and traction than mpk.
I voted skip it. If going with new wheels, a perfect time to go to a size that offers more tire choices. I had 21's on my truck and couldn't wait to get rid of them. For me 20's where the best option for what I planned on doing with my truck and offered a tremendous variety fo tire options...
I hope there is light at the end of the tunnel for you at some point. You really shouldn't have to go through this and don't assume that once this is all fixed, it will be clear sailing. I hope it will be but I'll be your cautionary tale.
I had been a long time Audi owner going back to the...
