  1. Purchased used, curious what might be missing from R1S

    Check that your frunk has the net at the front and the false floor fold-up thing. Here you can see it folded up with the portable charger bag underneath. In the trunk, underneath the false floor back there, was a carpet insert thingy with space for the first aid kit and air compressor kit.
  2. Rivian PLEASE give us a VERY LOW REGEN for Conserve Mode and Snow.

    Yes, but again you can simulate this with two-foot driving - keep your right foot close to the middle (zero accel or regen) and use the left foot for the friction brake.
  3. Crusty, wet/dry, deep(ish) snow -- off-road vs. soft-sand mode?

    2 and 3 - Speed is limited to 20mph when in max height, regardless of mode. In any of those modes you should be able to adjust the height up and down.
  4. 20" Inch Best 20" Tire for Max Efficiency (R1S): On-Road with Occasional Snow Driving

    In addition to the above, I think there are different versions of the Goodyear Territory AT, so make sure you're looking at the Rivian specific 275/60R20 version. https://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires.jsp?tireMake=Goodyear&tireModel=Wrangler+Territory+AT&partnum=76HR0WTATXL
  5. Rivian PLEASE give us a VERY LOW REGEN for Conserve Mode and Snow.

    I 100% agree Rivian should provide "no regen" in snow, but there are ways to deal with this on our end. For starters, if your foot is completely off the accelerator, you are braking harder than I would on snow in a 7000lb vehicle. Not going to jump to conclusions because it sounds like you are...
  6. Snow tire chain recommendations?

  7. Snow tire chain recommendations?

    I suspect so as well, though I went with 33" winter tires for this reason. Let us know what you find. In a truly messy situation, I'd be fine putting chains on my front 33"s as well and just avoid turning full lock or exceeding 10mph. Maybe my risk tolerance for damage is higher than others...
  8. Prospective Buyer - How Does Media from Phone Work?

    Bluetooth audio may not be "good", but it's "fine". Connects to the phone, plays whatever is playing on the phone (music, podcast, audiobook). That's all I'm asking for and it works fine.
  9. 20" Inch Best 20" Tire for Max Efficiency (R1S): On-Road with Occasional Snow Driving

    Yeah, I remember a lot of people reporting the same a few years ago, they switched from the original 21s to 20" with non-OEM all-seasons and had the same range. The OP's suspicion is fair but a lot of anecdotes seemed to confirm this.
  10. 20" Inch Best 20" Tire for Max Efficiency (R1S): On-Road with Occasional Snow Driving

    Yes, but I guess the difference is very small. The Rivian configurator lists Dual Standard with Goodyears at 258 miles of EPA range and Dual Standard with 22" Pirellis at 270 miles. A difference, but very small difference. Versus, on the Dual Large, the 20" Pirelli ATs have 289 EPA miles, the...
  11. 20" Inch Best 20" Tire for Max Efficiency (R1S): On-Road with Occasional Snow Driving

    The compact spare is compatible with all sizes of tires (the compact itself is only 30"). All the tires you listed would be a decent efficiency bump compared to Pirelli ATs, including the Rivian Wrangler. The Wrangler should probably have the worst efficiency of this group, since they are...
  12. Turn signals on a Canadian Rivian

    Really wish we had amber rear turn signals, I feel like current ones are too easy to miss by following traffic (especially when braking)
  13. Winter weather driving experience and tips

    There are two main factors, vehicle and tires. Tires matter more.
  14. Rival: 2026 BMW iX3 reviews are impressive... R2 has its work cut out

    Hope charging networks upgrade quickly...
  15. I bricked my R1S in the Oregon Outback - Learn from my mistake!

    Later in the story it doesn't sound like 110 was actually charging the vehicle anyway due to cold. Maybe if you plug in immediately when the battery is already warmed up from driving.
  16. Community interest in taking your Rivian Off-Road.

    One of my first times off-road in the R1S and we were coming back down from the top of the mountain. An F150 was high-centered on a dirt bump spinning around trying to get over. Admittedly, the R1S scraped once the same trip when I accidentally had it in Low. Also had some hikers tell us their...
  17. Compact EV SUV space getting crowded - BMW iX3, Volvo XC60, Polestar 3, Model Y, R2

    I do think R2 has an unclear niche. Hopefully it's offroad worthy like a 4runner, but probably not very moddable and EVs don't appeal as much to the 4runner crowd. It's positioned as a family adventure car like a Subaru, but Rivian also frames itself as a fancy high tech touchscreen-only phone...
  18. Winter weather driving experience and tips

    If you are driving while heavy snow is falling, beware of snow covering the front headlights and not melting off. If it is also nighttime, beware of glare from the front lights/lightbar reflecting off the snow making it hard to see. I don't have any advice because there is no easy way to fix...
  19. Winter Storm Preparation

    Remember R1 supplies at max 1500W. A breaker or fuse inside the car will trip above that.
  20. Jack Puck Recommendations

    You should say what running boards you have so people can give experience with that specific brand.
