  1. REALLY hot HV battery on road trip

    I just road tripped yesterday. Saw 115deg between Louisville and Cincinnati. Once "pre conditioning" started, it pulled the battery back down to 86deg in about an hours time. Right on time to plug in at the Ft Mitchell supercharger. Dash said it was 97deg outside. Humidity was over 80% I'm...
  2. Tosh Show - Interview with RJ Scraringe

    Kinda looks photoshopped. Have a road trip tomorrow. Hope I'm proven wrong before then.
  3. Poll: Has your Rivian ever turtled?

    '24 R1T Dual Motor (non-performance) with Large pack and 20in AT. I was having an issue with rear motor engage/disengage. On the way home from vacation, 200mi from home, I went to pass a car and got a LOUD thunk from the rear end. Recieved "turtle mode" on the dash, but was able to continue...
  4. What this new 2026 R1T owner finds surprisingly disappointing

    I, personally, would be much less pissed off at the stupid screen vents IF they returned to the same place every time. If I precondition the truck, they seem to move around from where they were preset. Then when I get in the truck I have to push the preset button and about 50% of the time, they...
  5. Rear Wheel Steering Development

    My Q7 had a really short wheelbase AND rear wheel steering. It drove MUCH smaller than it's dimensions would suggest. Also made backing a trailer absurdly easy. I'm loving the premise of 4WS on a Rivian.
  6. 20" Inch Time to think about winter tires

    Only a 1/2in drop in Ride height. 1.1 drop in Tire height. 275/65/20 is 34.1in tall 275/60/20 is 33in tall. That's 1.1in of Diameter, or 0.5in of Radius. Radius (distance from center of wheel to ground) sets ride height.
  7. What is your "minor wish?"

    I'm not convinced that I have a good example. That's for certain. When Rivian service has looked at the truck twice and said both times "Operating as designed", and then I get stuck in the rain because the truck won't unlock and let me in.......Then it's just a crap design. This is with the...
  8. What is your "minor wish?"

    TWraps has a dead pedal extender. Been meaning to order one. Been tucking my left toe into the crack between the door and the lower trim. Slightly better, but not great.
  9. What is your "minor wish?"

    Boy, we are miles apart. Tesla changed a bunch of crap to be different not because it's objectively better than I detest the vents. Single handily the WORST "feature" on the truck. PaaK sucks at best and is dangerous at worst. I exclusively use the fob and would have lemon law'd the truck...
  10. What is your "minor wish?"

    Unsure if sarcasm or serious?!? Assuming serious: Yea, but then you end up with dumbass features like PaaK only, digitally controlled HVAC vents, and no Resume feature.
  11. What is your "minor wish?"

    11 pages deep........SO....this has probably already been mentioned. I want "Resume" like a normal cruise control setup. The inability to have a set point and then engage/disengage the cruise from there just seems like a big step backwards. There is already an unused button on the wheel for it...
  12. How big of a deal is “clunking” as R1S dual motors engage/disengage?

    This hits the nail on the head for me. Love the buttery smooth EV driveline and then when I go to use it CLUNK "into gear" to access the smoothness.
  13. How big of a deal is “clunking” as R1S dual motors engage/disengage?

    If I ever have another Rivian, it will NOT be a dual motor. The efficiency gain isn't worth the POS rear disconnect. It's effing awful.
  14. Tesla Chargers - Reach issue

    Like this: Also, hopping a curb and pulling into the "back side" of the chargers is possible. I do this on holiday weekends when chargers get busy, or if getting ICE'd.
  15. 20" Inch Goodyear Territory AT 275/60/20 Factory AT tires + saving $

    Reviews like this keep coming in and making it harder to keep the awful stock ATs. I hate buying new tires while the existing ones have tread on them though. Trying to convince the wife I need to get a new set this November to survive the Buffalo Winters with good tread. We'll see if I'm...
  16. 20" Inch Goodyear Territory AT 275/60/20 Factory AT tires + saving $

    Stupid question here. I have the stock Pirelli 20in AT's on my truck now. I've driven an R1S with the 22in stock setup. What do you like about the 20in Goodyears over the 22in stock setup? I found those to be pretty pleasant and MUCH nicer than the stock 20in AT's. Are the Goodyear AT's that...
  17. Rivian no longer installing tires from third party sellers

    It's also a distraction from current corporate goals, and a time suck of resources that could be better spent on more important work. Tire work is commodity level service, repairing a HV battery, a drive unit, or suspension issue is a much better utilization of the talent at hand, and the time...
  18. Rivian no longer installing tires from third party sellers

    That's good to know. I'm days away from asking the same question of my local service center! Also, makes sense, Rivian techs could better spend their time/training on more Rivian specific tasks than changing tires. Whole industry of local shops already in place to support that.
  19. 20" Inch Time to think about winter tires

    I've seen some guys running wheels off of Dodge Ram 1500 pickups. If you can find a set it might make a cheap set of winter wheels if you wanted to go that route. In other thoughts, I had good luck with the OEM Pirelli's last year in a Buffalo, NY winter. Not much mountain climbing around...
  20. 20" Inch Goodyear Territory AT 275/60/20 Factory AT tires + saving $

    I guess I don't understand the level of service you're looking for. Not certain how this is "do your own research" to put together a solution. I mean, if you're asking for opinions about tires in an online enthusiast forum, aren't you already doing "your own research" anyway? I personally...
