Check/report your range at the following SOCs
Large pack - 76%
Max pack - 71%
Standard/Standard+ - 94%/83%
At these SOCs, battery should have ~100 kwh remaining, range should match the computers estimate for your average MPK (estimated miles/100 kwh).
Around 65% tire tread remaining (~15,000-20,000 miles remaining).
4 OEM 20" Pirellis available for $250 each (or $900 for all 4). Available for pickup/delivery.
Perfect for anyone that wants a full size spare, can add this rim from tirerack (~$400 w/ TPMS)...

Making sure its charging via Tesla and not the Rivian account was the only minor annoyance, just have to confirm...

About 900 miles and 500 kwh's (1.8 MPK), did some trickle charging (level II), Level III charging was $90 ($0.10 per mile).
Using the RAN chargers was the best (Manteca/Santa Nella/Buttonwillow), charge time was...
