I had the OEM 20" Pirellis on for a while and they were very loud. I couldn't believe how bad they got.
Wait for one of the @Atomic Wheels sales and pick up a set. I absolutely love my wheels. I was really debating on finish but the satin is nicely understated and wrapping them with the...
It didn't transform my truck from a rhino into a ballerina, but I noticed the difference. Went from a rhino to more of a giraffe. The lower rotating mass also helped with acceleration too, which helped offset the weight of my topper (~200 pounds).
I think the savings were over 10 pounds per...
I would say yes, the OEM 21" Pirell all season "road tire" are quieter than the good years below about 25 mph. The Goodyears have a more aggressive tread that you really only hear below about 20-25 mph.
At speed, they are very quiet. The noise is very low and more of a slight hum. You might not...
I personally would love to see some Dragy runs. Except when on the highway when I might be in Coserve low or lowest, I am normally in Sport low or lowest. It is more likely the front will be on the bump stops than the rear in my experience.
The Atomic Wheels definitely helped my enjoyment of...
Overall this brings up an interesting point indirectly. If the new Quad will be rolling on these tires, you'd hope that Rivian would retune the suspension to accommodate them. if so, will there be a setting in the UI where you can adjust your suspension if running these tires?
Given how poorly...
it wasn’t for a week, it was for almost a month if I read it correctly. I believe it was from May 2 to May 28. That is a pretty long time to keep it at a continuously high state of charge. it would be more like at max state of charge not just high. If it were only a week, I probably wouldn't...
No R2 for me even though I have a deposit on one. I'd buy an R2T though. Have a deposit on a Slate and much more likely I'll covert it than the R2.
I think the R1T is the better vehicle when it comes to ride quality. I love the versatility of have a bed, a trunk in the bed and the gear tunnel...
Thanks for sharing your insights. Maybe they'd work better with an R1T which already seems better planted.
How bad did they hit your efficiency? I am asking as I know many others will want to know. I personally don't care as I am more interested in grip and traction than mpk.
I voted skip it. If going with new wheels, a perfect time to go to a size that offers more tire choices. I had 21's on my truck and couldn't wait to get rid of them. For me 20's where the best option for what I planned on doing with my truck and offered a tremendous variety fo tire options...
I hope there is light at the end of the tunnel for you at some point. You really shouldn't have to go through this and don't assume that once this is all fixed, it will be clear sailing. I hope it will be but I'll be your cautionary tale.
I had been a long time Audi owner going back to the...
I should have been more clear. I just ran a 3 amp battery tender through the OBD port. I was totally shocked. Ad another day to my post. The battery level hadn't budged since yesterday when I checked and finally had to charge and drive the truck.

Just posted. They still lament the suspension on the S lagging the T, but pleased with the acceleration. They said the real world range was very bad as well and way behind the dual motor version.
I had a chance to test out the battery tender solution on my R1T. I was gone for 8 days. I left a 3 amp battery tender plugged in via OBD port. I just locked my truck and did nothing else but I do have proximity unlocking turned off at home. When I left I was at 49.70% according to Electrafi...
I have to say given how dark the tinted windows are, it is very hard to see any cargo in there unless it is brightly colored. So I am seeing less of an advantage using my tonneau cover than I originally thought.
Also dropping about $450 with shipping for just the mounts really isn't worth it at...
Yes, this is annoying. If I am listening to music and close to home, I just stop navigation so it doesn't interrupt all the time with about the 12 turns I have to make getting off the freeway.
I'm with you on this one. As I was reading the original post, I was thinking to myself, OMFG. About the 2 worst things you could do to a max pack. Icing on the cake would be if it was hot in the garage to top it off. Probably just did more wear on that battery than I did on my Teslas in 3 years...
A massive bunch of meh for me. Still waiting on launch mode for Gen1.
The most useful of the limited improvements would be battery conditioning, which I might be able to really use 1 month out of the year. Most of the rest of the year my battery temps will be at least 70F. So maybe useful for...
