  1. New Wheels Installed! Atomic Wheels AW09 20x9 ET25 in Antique Bronze + Toyo Open Country AT3 EV tires (275/65/20)

    yes, I suppose it is a bit explained by the colder weather here in the SF bay area right now, but it is not exactly freezing by any stretch of the imagination. I take the noise reduction (which is truly phenomenal) and the slightly better ride feel. if the efficiency is 3-5% better once worn...
  2. New Wheels Installed! Atomic Wheels AW09 20x9 ET25 in Antique Bronze + Toyo Open Country AT3 EV tires (275/65/20)

    You know, I switched from the scorpion ATs to 20 inch Michelin defender ms2 and my efficiency got worse (from 2.1 to 2.0). So there’s that.
  3. 20" Inch Michelin Defender LTX MS/2 all-season tire replacements for 20" ATs - considerable range improvement impact

    Just replaced my 20k miles stock ATs with the Michelins. Measured 72db on a stretch of highway at 70 mph with the loud rubber. With the new, it’s 63db on the same stretch, same day, same speed. Night and day! Didn’t even notice the wind noise before.
  4. More power & faster in All Purpose than Sport Mode - confirmed with data / dragy

    Thanks a lot. in case you are so inclined, it would be neat to know if full power is drawn at medium suspension height and moderate and/or soft damping. Maybe I can play with this myself, but if you are doing pulls anyways…
  5. More power & faster in All Purpose than Sport Mode - confirmed with data / dragy

    OP, could you please give us more around suspension setting, ride height, SOC, battery temps maybe? Would be appreciated.
  6. Mendocino National Forest Overnight R1S Camping (2h North of San Francisco)

    Thank you!! I’m really intrigued now. If it’s not too much work, mind sharing a couple of waypoints where you slept? I’m going to repeat this with my 4-year old. Cheers.
  7. Rivian reliability is a problem

    I’ll give you another data point. I don’t recommend the r1s, purely because the service center experience is so bad. It is really unbelievable how abysmal my experience is every single time. Don’t buy a Rivian unless they got a grip on their service infra at that point.
  8. Brutal Vampire Drain

    They told me once to put it into lowest suspension and service mode for a trip like that. I called them with concerns about 2-3% drains per day. Anyway, deep draining the battery and leaving it like that for a relatively long time will probably degrade overall battery life. Also 10% per day is...
  9. Honest Opinion From Current Owners? - Re: R1S

    Thank you for the tip. Unfortunately, I don’t know how to be loud. I try to be overly nice and understanding with people working in service. The thing I dislike most about someone is a sense of entitlement. Do you have any suggestions what I could do/say?
  10. Honest Opinion From Current Owners? - Re: R1S

    Don’t recommend owning a Rivian. Might have been said before, but the service (for repairs) is so incredibly bad it just isn’t worth it. My Rivian is in service for a suspension issue for over a month now (sSF center). They didn’t even touch it for the first two weeks it was there.
  11. Virginia Quad motor badge

    I debadged mine and still have the plastic flying around somewhere. Do you mean the yellow line between the letters?
  12. 2024.27.1 and 2024.27.30 Update are rolling out for Gen1 and Gen2

    Thank you. I suspect it is because the car tried to download the update at least three times. Done a few resets etc. Or it is just a freaking coincidence. Anyway. Service is on it and told me to hard reset it if I wanted to go out of turtle mode.
  13. 2024.27.1 and 2024.27.30 Update are rolling out for Gen1 and Gen2

    My update doesn’t go through. Called service, they said they cannot do anything over the air. First available service appointment: December 23rd! (south SF) That’d be my free three months of data right there. edit: Is there a way to check other service centers for availability? Did anyone...
  14. Hood flutter w video

    I’ve tried, but I fail to understand the concern. What exactly is the issue with some flutter?
  15. Latest update still not available to me

    The solution for me was: have service push the latest version of the previous software first, then this new one would install.
  16. Service times will kill Rivian

    May I ask what the process is to do a 12V cycle like that?
  17. Service times will kill Rivian

    I’m not sure what it is called. They tried pushing it a bunch of times and I had to do soft resets. Do you have info on that specific one? Is there anything that I can do? (i.e. hard reset?) apparently the car downloads all the data but is unable to install it. I don’t even see a prompt.
  18. Service times will kill Rivian

    which center? I have to schedule an appointment at the SF center tomorrow. Some comms module prevents updating the vehicle software. I let you know about the wait times.
