This is the best way to do it as far as I'm concerned. The only real time I use Conserve on the Gen1 QM is when you're already at highway speed for a long stretch, and even then I don't typically use it over AP.
Man I love Malvern so much for what Larry and Ty and the team do. Really, they're great in all aspects.
But I've been there too many times for various things, and I've never once gotten a loaner (always a crappy Enter'prize'). My wife on the other hand: she only had to take her R1S in once...
THIS would be a sweet innovation. Especially if the battery and inverter were sized to run appliances. One of the most annoying things about food trucks--in my opinion--is their loud (and smelly) generators.
Anyone want to start an EV food truck outfitting company?
Maybe we're talking past each other. Again: it's perception (and priority). I even think spending $1200 a year at Starbucks is absolutely rich territory. $200 is definitely a lot for a gym membership and seen as 'bougie' in my area. I'd suggest $30-50 is much more typical. (NOTE: I am too...
Put the right tires on and be in the right place and you can spin all 4. I swear officer, I didn't do it intentionally, I was just trying to merge into traffic!!
That's fair, however I might point out that critical detail was missing in your initial response. Which is the reasoning behind mine.
That said, a cursory 'Googling' doesn't suggest that any such thing is currently in the works in PA. So, this is verily a *Your Mileage May Vary* situation.
I'm not arguing, but until Rivian announces they're close to opening, why would they put it on the map? All they're going to do is frustrate owners by putting SCs on the map that are 18+ months out. I would also suggest (because it's happened) that some SCs are temporary and others don't get...
I don't have a horse in this race, and I want to be clear: I'm not debating whether or not you need to be rich to ski. I'm just laying this out *strictly from my perspective.*
Skiing is perceived as a 'rich' luxury 'sport.' At least in my area. Especially when you factor in: it's generally a...
All current and planned SCs are located on this map:

The only current 'in the works' specific to PA is in the Pittsburgh area.
My bet is that the future of Rivian service availability will be wholly contingent upon R2 success.
That said: don't forget...
We're all rich.
Because when you own a Rivian, you get to participate in these forums.
Where we're all friends.
And, in fact.
If you want to know the measure of a man...
It's all about the coefficient of friction between you and the road. Nothing else can compensate for lack of good tires.
That said, I've had zero issues. We've had a few good snowfalls with varying levels of slick, icy, gross and wet, slushy, and snowy, and the truck hasn't missed a beat. If...
We were going to wait for an R2, but took my wife off-roading in my R1T early on. She enjoyed it enough to want to take the classes herself (in my truck). Thus was borne her desire for an R1S versus an R2 (at the time, anyway, the perception was the R2 wasn't going to be off-road focused. But...
Just chiming in to respond: mine's been doing this for years at this point. Especially after particularly wet driving. I'm just accustomed to it. It's annoying (loud), sure, and occasionally jarring if you're not anticipating it. But that's all it's been so far. No excessive wear or any...
How is it a different question, exactly?
No one's suggesting a full-size spare that they're going to use as a replacement. They're asking if they can have a *mismatched* SPARE.
SO...I'm verily uncertain what you're getting at.
Spare's are also only rated to 50 mph because they're built for...
Yes.
The R1S inflate-a-spare is a 30" diameter.
If these vehicles couldn't accommodate a ~4" mismatch, Rivian wouldn't provide a spare that caused such a deviation.
195/70-20 does calculate to ~30.7"
But 275/65R20 is a 34.1" OD.
Still a 3.4" delta.
OK, this one I'm unfamiliar with.
I google searched and found multi-thousand dollar replacement tire/wheel options FOR HMMWVs that are also 8-lug bolt patterns. So, I'm having a lot of trouble figuring out how this relates to a Rivian?
Help this dumdum understand, please :)
Look, I'm admittedly a fanboi of EE. I even own one of his t-shirts. If there's one thing I can vouch for of that guy: he doesn't do single source. And he absolutely addresses the Arizona study I cited (that you're still ignoring) in this video when he talks about longevity (which apparently...
