One of the best things about quad 2023 R1S is the disconnecting of rear motors in Conserve Mode. Makes a real range difference while cruising. Almost 10% increase. The problem is slippery snowy roads. In conserve, the car is really front wheel drive. Even Low Regen is too much as the front...

To those that don't think 400 mile range is an important thing, please stop extrapolating your warm weather use case to those of us in the midwest with cold long routes w/o a reliable DCFC network build out. I can't buy now for what the network might be in 3 years. Look at any map with chargers...

Having owned two Model X and now a R1S, totally disagree. Want an EV with space for 7 people(we used 5 people setup in this example because of dog) , a golden retriever, said dog's crate, and all gear for a long weekend, have limited options that place the X, R1S and EV9/Ionic 9, and now...

Had 2 Xs, sold, then bought the R1S. Not looking back! R1s more real range, more space, Gen 1 R1 with Comma does a nice job hands free lane keep with no subscription, less Nazi, less annoying Elon things (stupid Yoke, turn signals on said yoke). Not going to miss the X in the market, other...

Normal. Lfp is a bit more cold sensitive then NMC but they all get the range back when warm up. Heck, my '23 MNC that is normally 130kwh, is down to 111. But is has been -2 to -39 deg out for 3 days and we haven't left home in the Rivian. Know it will bounce back up to 130 once battery is warm...

And charge you battery! That 120v outlet in the back might save your a@@ if loose all power from ice.

Don't use Conserve Mode on G1 Quad. It become front-wheel-braking only when regens and will lock up front tires on slippery surface. Car then warns "use Snow Mode on slippery surface" but that is after the fact. All Purpose or Snow mode for 4 wheel regen braking. And another rant, even on Low...

We have the Defenders on our OG E-tron. I am Huge fan of swapping to winters and do it on almost all cars we drove. But the Etron came with a fresh set of Defenders. The fact that we run them and haven't swapped to winters on the Etron says alot. You will like them! Defenders are new in 21...

3.5 hours from airport. Cost of an Uber?? Is there even one that will do that trip? FYI, it doesn't have to be this way. Our OG E-tron sat at the local body shop in freezing weather for 2 weeks and lost Zero percent on the battery! I guess Legacy OEMs know how to do 1 thing right. And using a...

The Gen 1 21s are all season and suck in snow. SLOW DOWN, way down is my advice. We are in Wisconsin and bought Hankook Winter tires on Dodge Ram 20" wheels after 1 dangerous winter on the 21s. The D'rivian (Dodge + Rivian) as we call it, is AWESOME IN SNOW now. A Quad motor D'rivian is true 4...

Yes the stakes are too high, FOR THE CLIMATE. I use to be pro big 3, but Ford and GM backing down from EVs and taking Billions in rightoffs right now proves they really aren't behind EVs. Again. GM, there are books from the early 2000s, Who Killed the Electric Car about the EV1. Then in Jan...

TR v 15 Does Not hug centerline at all on my R1s. Have been on it since summer and afraid to try anything else as it works so good for our uses.

LIES, LIES AND MORE LIES. Was so sick of it. One of the reasons sold our Model X and moved to a R1S. Not lookin back, don't miss the X at all.

I had service look at this last winter and said it's Normal. Right.... Ackerman effect and not designed right honestly is most likely the reason. I notice it less this year when I switched from stock 21" to Dodge 2363 20" and Hankook iPike 429 winters. The Dodge rims have a different offset...

Interested, but would need shipping to Wisconsin. Possible?

If get Gen 1, serieously look into a Comm.AI unit. 'Hands off' level 2 steering assist on almost all roads and does a great job.

Verizon is CGNAT also.

As a data point. 23 R1S QM. I had it on ACC before installed comma, started about July 10th. Installed Comma on July 19th and still getting system fault with Comma. Symptom no different before and after comma: beeps, system fault text on screen and cruise disengaged, can reengage right away...

This happened to me! Rivian service had to drop hv battery to change fuse and 120v power supply. Be VERY careful pass though of DP3 Pro doesn't draw too much current and hurt the R1

Yea, seems extream. That is 64% of lowest range (279miles 20s). Lion batteries are lasting longer than expected in liquid cooled/heated packs(not the original air cooled Leaf talking about here). Most consider life to be to 70% left. There is calendar aging and cycle aging. If take 800...
