We were considering St Louis to Destin last summer with my wife and 3 young kids (5 and under) but took my parents minivan instead and glad we did. Nashville specifically had terrible reviews for CCS chargers. Also there are stretches where youāll be able to drive 80+ mph and that will kill...
Yes, itās a more comfortable ride than Pirelli 22ā stock tires and range seems to be on par with the 20ā all terrains. Got 2.0 mi/kwh at 70 mph on a 50 mile trip but at 40 degrees. Hereās a pic with tire shine.
$100 each - I have 3 stock 22ā tires available with about 6,500 miles on them. 2 have 8/32 of tread left, and 1 has 6.5/32. They are in good shape and evenly worn across the tread. One was damaged beyond repair (sidewall bead is damaged) so I replaced all 4 with Continental Terraincontact A/T.
I have mine ordered! Should be installed this week. Tirebuyer code honey10 for 10% off. $1,355 all in with tax and install. I had damage on one of the stock tires so went with replacing all!
On the charge screen you can reset the calculation. It specifically says range based in driving history. Mine shows 292 miles on AP, 321 on conserve. Whatās interesting is at 50% it will show 151 miles AP and 165 miles conserve so the math doesnāt work out. Really the only way to know capacity...
Iād be surprised if an LFP pack has the ability to put out the power needed for dual performance. It could be NMC with less modules. If the standard+ is LFP that is without a doubt the one to go for.
Model Y dual motor is basically $40k after tax credit, so this is way more expensive.
You should be ok with dual motor or quad motor (conserve) large pack on 21ā or 22ā. Max pack is only about 13 kWh more usable capacity so itās very costly. Your other option is waiting for the Ram REV or Ramcharger.
We have a car seat and booster back there and the 3rd row vents turn on every time. It must be some combo of weight and seatbelt. I actually wish they wouldnāt turn on now since it blows cold air. In the summer itās nice that they turn on.
Has anyone powder coated the Rivian 22ā wheels to be a bronze color? Iāve seen some aftermarket 20ā wheels in bronze and like the look on launch green. I donāt really off-road so I like the 22ā style and size better for R1S.
Limestone looks awesome on cloudy days. Iām not a fan of it on bright blue sky days, it gets a blueish tint for sure. Go see all of the colors. They look different in person. Red wouldāve been last on my list but is my second favorite after launch green (which I got thankfully).
Thanks for posting! Pretty poor charging curve for the CT. Tesla doesnāt seem to have confidence in the 4680 cells yet since the curve for CT and the 4680 model y are terrible (see Branden flasch testing).
I agree multiple tests would be nice but max vs. large is almost entirely a capacity discussion (perhaps max is more efficient in the city with both motors engaged). We know the capacity difference so we know the expected range impact if we know efficiency.
