I actually thought the R3 brought to mind something even more old school - the AMC Hornet!

I think of Consumer Reports as the proxy for my elderly parents. Whenever they can't figure out how to use an app on their phone, or struggle with something on the computer, it is "broken." CR uses a 2012 Honda Accord as its reference point. Anything that diverges from that reference point...

I would add that the Rivian navigation system has greatly improved over time. It is at least as good as Google Maps most of the time if not as accurate on traffic as Waze.

I don't understand the almost obsessive complaints about Rivian and CarPlay (and Android Auto to a lesser extent). Maybe it is because I am an Android user who mainly uses Spotify. We have Android Auto in my wife's Ioniq 6. The Rivian interface is so superior and intuitive it isn't even...

Yes, on highway. In standard mode in mixed driving I am averaging around 2.4 m/kwh

I get an adjusted 350+ miles per charge (~2.5 m/kwh) on the Pirelli AS +3 tires, much better than the ~300 (~2.1) I used to get with the ATs. And the tires are silent and the handling is more precise..

I hear what you are saying. But there is an equally rational and less nefarious interpretation of what Rivian is saying. These are 7000 lb monsters with very complex electronic suspensions and safety systems. The company has carefully developed settings for these systems that are optimized...

I wouldn't say that. If you buy a tire that is the same size as stock there is no need to calibrate. I frankly don't care about the tiny deviation in the estimated range projections. I chose the Pirell AS because they have the characteristics I am looking for (quiet, improved handling...

I am running the Pirelli AS Plus 3 tires on 20 inch rims (275/60/20) and getting range and efficiency essentially identical to the 21s. About 350 mile range/2.45 m/kmh average in mixed driving.

275/60/20

They won't do it. You just mentally have to make a 3% adjustment in your head to account for the (very) slightly smaller diameter of the AS3+ tires compared to the AT. What I gave found is just the overall range estimator never adjusts away from the 20 AT baselines. The the "live" range...

I ordered the tires from Walmart (!) and had them installed at a local shop. I did this almost a year ago. No issues at all. The improvement in comfort is great over the ATs in every way. And silence. The efficiency improvement is also a step change. I easily get 350 miles per charge on...

AS +3

As I mentioned elsewhere, I switched to Pirelli Scorpion AS 20s on my R1S from the ATs. These are an alternative to the Michelin, and I paid $224 each installed. I love the AS - much better tires. Super quiet, significantly improved ride and handling. And the efficiency jumped to be identical...

I switched to Pirelli Scorpion AS 20s on my R1S from the ATs. I love the AS - much better tires. Super quiet, significantly improved ride and handling. And the efficiency jumped to be identical to 21s. I now get an average of 2.4 m/kwh, adjusted for the slight difference in diameter...

I am having the exact same experience. The car is due for service soon to address this. My understanding is that all the cameras are daisy-chained and that when one camera is defective or about to die, it takes the whole system down. So the only way to permanently fix is to identify the...

I led the effort but the service center at Gaithersburg MD was responsive. The replacement of the quarter windows in the front was done specifically to address buffeting. The rear door adjustment was an accidental discovery. The two rear doors were slightly out of alignment and needed a hard...

I had a lot of wind noise at first on my R1S. After multiple service visits the car is practically silent. Main culprits: 1. Door adjustments. Especially rear passenger door adjustments and alignment. My rear passenger doors were hard to close and were slightly out if alignment. When this...

I switched out the Scorpion ATs for the Scorpion A/S. The range (adjusted for the slight difference in diameter) is now identical to the 21s. I average over 2.5 m/kwh in a combo of city/hwy. The difference in handling and noise with the AS is night and day from the ATs. Super quiet and...
