Nice, what tires did you have?

R1S sounds great till you hit a pothole or bump something and it goes into turtle mode.

Pretty sure R2 was never supposed to have a rear locker in the first place.

Some get a spare tire mount that attaches to the hitch like a bike carrier. I set the full-size spare inside the trunk of the R1S, upright in the sub-trunk. I think those are the main options, maybe up top on a roof rack.

I’ve seen lots of recs on here for the Defender LTX M/S, but I don’t think I’ve seen lots of recs for the Defender LTX A/T.

None of this explains how Milo Minderbinder is able to DCFC in Sicily for $0.10/kWh and sell electricity in Malta for $0.50/kWh. And everybody has a share.

Hard to compare numbers person to person, but my Hakkas in 275/60R20 are a bit more efficient than my OEM Pirelli ATs in 275/65R20. Not a huge improvement. Maybe 5% more mpk if I had to guess.

I don’t either but if they were on the A pillar I would

Got Llumar Air 80 on all windows and windshield (not roof which is already highly tinted). Blocks UV and cuts a good amount of heat, almost invisible. Many opt for darker tints but nighttime visibility is a priority for me.

You forgot the cost of Re engineering the vehicle to support 400+ pounds and more volume of battery. I wish they’d done it for R2 but I see why they let R1 stay the battery king.

Barf bag for passenger seat occupant.

The cover didn't come with it. I don't know if Rivian ever had this setup in mind during design, I first saw it from Rivian Dad on youtube but other people on the forum do this too. The white behind the tire is just the back of the tire cover which I got on Amazon. No foam or support required...

I doubt that the compact would be a good idea off road. Instead of hitch mount (or roof mount I guess), you can also set a fullsize spare upright in the back of the R1S using the sub-trunk. That's what I do for offroading.

The real question: is there an A-pillar grab handle?

Full size spare comes with tradeoffs. Take the R1S. I was originally mad about no full size spare but it would have caused a lot of compromises. Either less ground clearance and departure angle, worse aerodynamics and range, less storage space, maybe all the above. So I don’t mind the compromise...

I don't agree with "automatically", but yes, I have been asking for this for 3 years. The menu item gets grayed out when you are driving. Just allow it to un-gray in offroad drive modes.

True about sliders but you can also take off the plastic and jack on the frame rails. See p25 https://rivian.com/support/article/r1-tire-service-guide

With the standard methods you are lifting up the frame of the vehicle. The wheel is attached by the suspension. After you lift up 4 inches with the jack, you have just put that corner into Highest ride height but the tire is still drooping and resting on the ground. Then you keep lifting the...
