Your break even point & ROI would be much lower. The Pirelli Scorpion AS+3 at 20” has shown range similar to what the 21s provide. Someone else on the sub has them. I’m hoping the Michelin Defender LTX M/S show similar gains. It’s a 70-80K tie with a GREAT reputation and on top of that fits in...
Fortunately, I live in the south so everything is a little bit cheaper here when it comes to gas and electricity . I have a 2021 RAV4 hybrid that gets around 37 to 41 miles per gallon. I have done around an average of 40K the last year and a half (79K total) and expected to be around 25 to 30K...
absolutely nothing that’s the thing. I DON’T have one (yet) but do some reading about the 21s. People usually opt for the 20s or 22s. But what I’ve read about the 21s is a minimum of 10K and an absolute can’t drive anymore MAX of 30k. I’m talking about slick and threadbare at 30. And that’s...
You are correct. $8K is a good chunk of change. I am different in that aspect I guess. I’d rather just save longer or finance a portion of it if I’m only getting 20 more miles out of my battery.
I love Rivian, but the Dual Motor doesn’t mean a dang thing to me until they tell me how much added range it’ll be receiving over the current quad motor configuration. And tbh if it’s not more than 5-6% (hoping for 10%) i just don’t see why it’s worth it.
My biggest gripe so far with the Rivian...
I am just here to say that if anyone is looking to cancel their pre-March pricing on their R1T, I’d gladly buy it if you wanted to switch to a Quad/Dual + Large Pack R1S. I already have my reservation (not pre-order) in, but I’d love to get it earlier than Q1 2024 AND also help someone out in...
This is the first promising thing I’ve seen in regards to better range with an all-season in 20s instead of the 21s. $450/tire for only 7-15K miles on the 21s is absolutely freaking ridiculous to me. If I could find an efficient all season 20 that lasted 30K and was only 250/tire? Take my dang...
Then honestly if you can afford it, I’d advise taking that 1K and putting it towards a used Launch Edition with low miles. Rivian is already shown to be cutting costs (ex: 12V in the frunk). The trade off may be early adopter woes but in reality you’ll also be trading off any price increases...
