They could also just move the third row 4-6 inches back, there is plenty of room behind it.

When I researched this I think this was a good candidate. Not super heavy and supposedly lasts like 80,000 miles on an ICE vehicle.

Inclines put more of the weight vector down the hill and less into the road for traction.

Wow congrats that’s a late order date to get an R1S already. What SC are you near?

These things are heavy, a dedicated snow tire (even without studs) would have been a big help in this situation. I was a little disappointed with how Rivian seems to believe that the 3 peak all seasons are all you need in the snow. Definitely not true in Vermont or anywhere with icy steep...

It’s more but depending on your situation not THAT much more. In our case we got early pricing, our city has free chargers very close to our house, we get $15k in federal and state rebates/credits, and we have solar panels about to be installed. It’s really not much more for us when you...

Not so sure about that. I could buy a new Honda Pilot and pay for gas or buy the R1S for 20k more and save on fuel and probably retain more resale value. Comparing a new Highlander, and factoring in that the S is the most efficient SUV on the market from a “fuel” cost point of view, if you...

That makes no sense, the vast majority of new cars are financed.

The S is a direct replacement for all of those 3-row family SUVs -Highlander, Pilot, Explorer, etc. The T is a bit more of a niche.

I think it’s bordering absurd to assume this won’t be addressed by software updates in the future.

Well if the back is sliding out in conditions where it doesn’t in other AWD vehicles, and people have to revert to conserve/fwd then it may be warranted.

Never mind, it looks like the LT3 is available in the stock size per that link. Would love to know efficiency impact as those are heavier tires.

You must mean 275/60 R20? https://www.nokiantires.com/rivian/ We do not yet offer size 275/65 R20 in Hakkapeliitta passenger car or SUV tires, but drivers can consider an alternative size of 275/60 R20 in: Nokian Tyres Hakkapeliitta R5 SUV (winter, non-studded) Nokian Tyres Hakkapeliitta 10...

I mean if it was damaged to the point that they can no longer sell it as brand new then they did the right thing and didn’t lie. Assuming they never said it was totaled.

Hopefully the can make a heated one that will pop in to replace the existing.

Wow that’s not confidence inspiring, but not surprised given the weight without snow tires. I’ll definitely be getting some Hakkas.

It’s a simple fact that is IS faster than the X5 by quite a bit, so it’s either an issue with this specific vehicle or a driver issue.

When you click my original link they show 4 EV specific tires https://www.nokiantires.com/rivian/ I’m guessing this webpage probably isn’t supposed to be “live” yet until they offer the sizes they specify here. I just found it Googling Rivian and Nokian.

Isn’t it though? The R5 is an EV tire I just don’t see it in the size we need despite the website page I originally linked. Maybe they didn’t intent for that page to be accessed yet. The LT3 is not EV recommended. https://www.nokiantires.com/snow-winter-tires/nokian-tyres-hakkapeliitta-r5-ev/

What do you mean not properly sized? Speed or weight limits?
