  1. New RIVIAN GREEN Signature Color Revealed! 🌲

    Rivian colors always look better in person, but launch green is underwhelming to me. Far prefer Forest Green. The Emerald concept above looks great too.
  2. The Volvo EX60 Cross Country Has Something The Rivian R2 Doesn’t

    So the EX60 will cost $60k (10k more than R2) and have regular suspension with 7.2" ground clearance. The EX60 Cross Country will cost an unknown amount more, close to R1S price, and an air suspension raising ground clearance from 8" to 8.8". R2 will ship with 9.8". Not sure what Rivian has to...
  3. 3PMSF, probably not what you think it means.

    Similar issue is when all terrain tires (like the Rivian Pirellis) may be decent in several inches of snow and get a 3PMSF rating, but they do NOT have a soft compound for grip in cold and icy conditions.
  4. Mileage Loss in Cold / what’s realistic?

    You said below that you preheat but what is the battery temperature when you start the drive? (Can be found in the drive options screen) If the battery starts cold, R1 will pour a lot of energy into heating it up.
  5. Wonky cabin lights when opening doors

    I have never had consistency with the lights coming on when opening the rear doors, sometimes they do sometimes they don't. 2.5 years old Gen 1.
  6. Gen1 Quad - New Mode Requested: Dual Motor

    I haven’t seen any data comparison for city type driving. For highway driving, out of spec tests seem to have DM as just slightly more efficient and Budman has them about the same here: https://www.rivianforums.com/forum/threads/for-those-you-upgraded-from-1st-to-2nd-gen.51714/post-898347 I...
  7. First R2 validation build vehicle rolls off the production line!

    If we learn anything from R1, get the good colors while you can. Otherwise you’re waiting for a special edition Miami car
  8. Gen1 Quad - New Mode Requested: Dual Motor

    No no, we were on the same page. I’m saying that 130 mile EPA difference between Gen 1 Quad large and the DM max is not real. If you put the same tires on both and especially quad in conserve, the efficiency difference is marginal and the battery pack difference is worth ~25 highway miles. So I...
  9. Rivian Commercial Van (RCV) gets windows!

    With that much solar a camper could almost keep up with Rivian vampire drain
  10. Gen1 Quad - New Mode Requested: Dual Motor

    I generally agree with you, but it's not anywhere near 130 more real world miles. On the highway with the same tires and conserve mode, it's probably 30-40 miles max difference in range. In city driving maybe a bit more
  11. Anti-EV agenda

    The specific argument here is that the federal tax incentive was propping up Rivian sales. I don't have the numbers to dispute that but I strongly doubt it. For one things, leases still got the incentive. Furthermore if the logic is that R1 is a good buy at $72,500 but a bad buy at $80,000...
  12. Well my day just got worse…

    Might explain why 2025.46 rollout appears to be paused
  13. R1 G2 Standard Range Real Range

    Are you asking about highway range or city?
  14. What winter upgrade did you think you'd need… but didn’t?

    All-Terrains should be pretty good in deep snow, where I really want winter tires is on packed snow and icy conditions.
  15. Level 3 Charging 2025-2026 for Rivian R1S May Require a $300 "Accessory"

    As this forum is mostly enthusiasts who know these things, your warning may not be that useful, but hopefully helpful to some. We can also provide you some info. First, congrats on buying a great vehicle. Second, you're right, this is a misstep on Rivian's part. They should have provided an...
  16. Having twins and a dog, how is space in R1S?

    I thought suburbans were for once you get to 5 kids or more? R1S has plenty of space. If you pack on the light side you can store pretty much all your luggage in the for a family of 4 in the frunk which is amazing. You can also fit a ton of stuff in the sub-trunk if you don't have a spare tire...
  17. 1.4kWh Daily usage since .46 Update

    What were you seeing before the update? 1-2% daily loss has almost always been normal for me, it's gone up and down. 2023 Gen 1.
  18. Potential New Owner

    1. Software is fine, some features missing like voice to text and an odometer. Door auto unlock is often slow and unpredictable. 2. the car works great. No water gets in so I guess the panel gaps are fine 3. Agree with the person who said size of tires is most likely the difference (small...
  19. 20" Inch Tire Guide for 33" & 34" options - Choosing the Best 275/60R20 – 275/65R20 Tires

    Yeah, the Goodyear is still a sort of all-terrain tire so all-seasons of the same size should be a bit more efficient.
