Put me down as another happy Michelin Defender LTX owner. I took the Pirelli Scorpion All-Terrains off of my 20" wheels a couple of days ago, and instantly prefer the Defenders: smoother, quieter, quicker, better ride, better handling. Though to be fair, none of those a HUGE differences. But...

The Michelin Defenders don't look as good, and obviously don't perform as well off-road. But they are more efficient, which was my key interest. (I'm towing, and so I want all the miles I can get!) Incidentally, the Defenders are only rated for 106mph, which is a few miles below Rivian's top...

The aspect that I see in common with Toyota's press releases and executive comments over the past 13 years has been that they are trying to slow down the switch away from hybrids. The message seems to be "don't buy a new EV now, they have drawbacks, wait a few years and we promise we'll have...

I will be very interested to hear what service says about this issue! Please let us know. I have had plenty of previous EVs with traction control and stability control, and I've taken a lot of corners in a manner where I know they had a chance to kick in...but I've never felt this herky-jerky...

I wanted the 20" wheels, but I don't drive offroad so I am selling the OEM all-terrain tires. This is a set of 4 tires - tires ONLY (no wheels or TPMS). Pirelli Scorpion All-Terrain Plus, 275/65/20. I just picked up my R1S on Thursday, and I drove 178 miles on them. No damage (although there...

I finally can tow our Safari Condo Alto A2124 with a Rivian. Too bad we don't have any camping trips planned. But I will report back with efficiency numbers when we go somewhere.

Thanks, all. I don't offroad; I just got the 20's because they are lighter and have more tire options. I'm having Michelin Defender LTX's put on tomorrow. If this is the issue, perhaps that will reduce the frequency.

Thanks, that does seem like something that could explain what I felt the car do. But I'm not sure. First, I wasn't pushing the boundaries...well, OK, I don't *think* I was pushing the boundaries, but I'm used to much smaller sport-biased cars and the R1S (especially with these tires) is a very...

It's not exactly like the render on the web site - but I really like the Launch Green. Same goes for the Forest Edge interior. It's also nice to have a vehicle that tows so well!

I tried searching, but not sure what words to use - no luck with the ones I tried. I'm also not positive if this is a motor, software, suspension or tire issue (I think I know, but I hope that others not influenced by my bias will weigh in). So here goes... I just got my R1S last week. It's on...

Aurgh...I just picked up my R1S with 20's. I never even thought to check if it was possible to put chains on; I just figured it would be given the character of the vehicle. Let's see, Isse truck snow socks...for 275/65/20, you'd need a size 80 - see HERE. And HERE is a place that sells a pair...

It is a Large. 55" x 91".

My last estimate was for Q2 2024, but that was for a max pack R1T. Our situation changed over the past couple of years, so I recently switched to an R1S and asked for shop access. From there it only took a week to pick one out. I wanted a black interior because it's free and the online render...

Correct. Yelling ENHANCE appears to work up to 3 times.

I'm probably going to end up with the LinerX, but I like to use a vehicle for a while before deciding what type of mat is going to work best. So for a cheap thing to keep the cargo area protected while I make up my mind, I got one of THESE (meant to be a pet liner) for $40. It is not...

I posted information about the Quikrstuff Mach2 on my RIS in THIS THREAD.

I have a rack from KAC that's very similar to the Hollywood rack that Foobar linked to - though mine is limited to 60lbs per bike. That worked for me, but it was hard to get a hitch pin in my Model Y with its stupid recessed hitch (the problem was the car, not the rack), and the trays don't fold...

I took delivery of an R1S almost identical to OP's yesterday - just the interior color is different. And I had an almost identical experience. I had a few questions leading up to delivery (how long trade-in value was valid, what insurance requirements were in my state, what delivery dates were...

I ordered an R1S from the shop on May 8. On May 16 I got an email saying my R1S was "ready to leave the factory". On May 19 I got an identical email saying my R1S was "ready to leave the factory". On June 5 I got a text from my local (Bellevue, WA) service center saying they have the R1S, and I...

It's the speed rating of 106mph that is the issue.
