That is amazingly ridiculous! Hoping it translates to real-world driving

LOW Regen is exactly like an automatic transmission….. All TeslaS are one speed motors so there is no jerkiness of changing gears and inducing a spin! BUT, I reiterate, snow tires make all the diff

@HaveBlue Tesla has two regen modes: Standard and Low winter driving would benefit from LOW regen mode P.S. I switch to LOW regen and winter tires once the cold season sets in. BTW, winter rubber is superior to all-season once the exterior temperature is below 7’C (Canada) or 44.6 ‘F

@Bullwinkle I’m a huge believer in two sets of wheels…… one with summer rubber and the second with winter rubber Naturally, a smaller wheel diameter like 20” for winter wheels and light-weight forged wheels for summer (21” or 22” Atomic) P.S.I highly recommend these winter boots for Rivian...

@limestoneR1T It’s Kona nice!

@CrazyOne, I totally agree…..especially in winter-like settings An overly aggressive regen can and will disrupt the vehicle balance….. Secondly, a larger 22” wheel, preferably a forged one like Atomic wheels, will reduce the unsprung weight and bring about a more sure-footed handling. Naturally...

Sad to hear the many complaints about DEAD 12v batteries. IMHO, if you are not driving your Rivian, or any vehicle for that matter, on a regular basis, then the 12v battery will prematurely die i kept my 2000 Corvette plugged to a trickle charger all the time, and my ORIGINAL 12v battery lasted...

Drats!!! Happy to experience the live prototype R2 in Detroit since I cannot attend to Toronto show I WILL definitely test-drive the R1 if allowed P.S. Deposit placed yesterday

Ordered the Rivian R2 today (Nov 23/2024) Super excited to replace my 2018 Tesla 3 LR which has been fabulous!

It might be worth the drive! 3 hr 20 min (198.2 mi) via I-75 N

RJ Scaringe recently hinted that the R2 does not need 800V…. he stated that the battery chemistry and structure (4695) were more important factors in charging speed

I will be attending the Detroit Auto Show on Tuesday Jan 14. Driving from Toronto area to preview the R2 and hopefully experience a test-drive. Will subsequently confirm the deposit ($150 Cdn) and join the 100,000+ waiting list. P.S. My FIRST post!?
