Great news, thanks for sharing!

Looks like someone ratted-out TR for a premature spill? "On-Road All-Terrain tires -may be- branded with the M+S and three-peak mountain snowflake (3PMSF) symbols are sometimes used as Original Equipment (O.E.)" This gets curiouser and curiouser... "The Streisand effect is a phenomenon where...

A dedicated tire can get double-secret/weird/mysterious at launch. And probably $$$ to replace like-for-like. I've poked around TR a bit, 60/55/R20 is really hard to find w/ 3PMSF, perhaps due to dimension ratios?

Yep. Wild guess is this is some kind of (chemical?) modification to the baseline T/A tire in order to get 3PMSF in the R2 size as T/A+.

TIre Rack is presenting 'T/A' and 'T/A+' as distinct offers, latter is tied to Rivian. "Trail-Terrain T/A+ is severe snow rated and carries the three-peak mountain snowflake (3PMSF) symbol."

There's been a very strange exception floating out there re: BFG T-T T/A ATs: the 20" size specifically for R2 has seemingly lacked 3PMSF AW tag but all other sizes have it. Is this really the case? Seems weird + stupid. That said, I'm now seeing BFG T-T ‘T/A+’ on Tire Rack, so maybe R2 size...

Perhaps Rivian needs to redirect some engineers towards career broadening? "Queueing theory is the mathematical study of waiting lines (queues), analyzing processes such as customer arrivals, service times, and the number of servers to optimize system performance and reduce waiting times. It...

This is a GREAT recap, thank you.

Whoops, meant MY28 in summer 2027. Fixed. My need comes ~Aug-Sep 2027, so planning to wait for invite to order MY28.

So figure Gen3 as MY27.5 around year-end? MY28 flip likely in summer 2027, at least based on recent MY changeovers?

Can you elaborate any further re: fit in front? Head vs. sunroof framing, shoulder & elbow vs. B-pillar, knees vs. dashboard, and hip point vs. other SUVs you’ve experienced?

Oddly, I don’t like the top hat look on the Rivian crossbars, much prefer the streamlined look like this - but can you get decent quality on Amazon?

I'll be watching to see if R2's BFG size really doesn't get 3PMSF tag - seems like a very strange exception for the T-T T/A lineup - If not, I have no interest in these tires and their noted efficiency sacrifices - would rather have the Pirelli AS on those nifty 20" AT wheels. Anyone...

Agree with this - even if it means getting stuck w/ non-3PMSF (AW) BFG 20" ATs - one set and done. I'd prefer the factory install the Pirelli 20" AS on the Performance AT rims instead, if not anything AW. We'll see.

If it turns out the 20” BFG ATs aren’t 3PMSF then I really don’t want them at all. Perhaps factory would put 20” Pirelli AS on Performance 20” wheels instead?

R1 gets AT 20" wheels/tires, spare, underbody shield, and couple drive modes for $3,700. Curious to see what R2 AT turns out to be.

I wonder if the 20" AS might be a (secret?) no-cost option on Performance, otherwise some devoted to 20" but not wanting to cough up more $ to downsize wheels might drop themselves down to Premium? Otherwise Rivian might own-goal itself?

My impression is that Lidar, et al. will be a mid-MY27 change at year's end 2026 vs. early flip to MY28. But I've not actually read that anywhere. I have read that June-July has been MY turnover in recent years, we'll see when/whether flip to MY27 R1 happens same time this summer. Has the...

What does Rivian MY turnover look like in the ordering system? Anyone been shopping for an early-next-MY R1, what was the cue to go ahead and submit your order? Some kind of bold banner across the top that orders for current MY have ended, and that new MY (& pricing) is in effect going...

Looks like R1 20" AT wheels are bundled w/ AT pack for $3,700. Will be curious to see R2 packaging -
