  1. .43 Update Gen 2 Premium Sound, sounding premium?

    I see plaid mats on the floor. So, I'm guessing Gen2 Tri Max R1S.
  2. New 21" tire option - Michelin Defender LTX M/S 2 275/55-21 @ $380

    Tire manufacturers are known to put a little less tread depth on the OEM version to help with efficiency. But, they sometimes make other changes as well like tread width or noise insulation. In this case, there is only an OEM version of the Pirelli's in the stock size. So, it won't matter. But...
  3. 20" Inch Efficient Winter Tires Compilation List - 275/60R20

    20" wheels are usually cheaper and lighter. 20" tires tend to be more efficient than 22".
  4. It's Christmas Light Crossbar Season! Post Yours ?

    What type of lights does it fit? Do you have a link?

    Hah, no, because by the time Scout releases it's first EV, the RIvian SW/HW stack will have gone through a lot more testing. But, after Scout starts delivering products, Rivian's vehicle will be as buggy as Scout's. But, engineers can squash a lot of bugs given a couple years.
  6. Large Pack Battery - EPA Official Numbers

    Strangely, the Standard+ pack is larger than the Gen2 Large pack.
  7. Large Pack Battery - EPA Official Numbers

    I agree that the weight probably doesn't matter much. I was just pointing out it is lighter and that would effect it some. I believe the EPA has very little constant speed driving. I suspect the weight loss would have very little benefit for highway range at 80 mph. 410 miles / 141.5 kwh = 2.9...
  8. 2025 Rivian roof cross bar and Thule cargo box

    I just put my cross bars on for the first time today. I noticed the two stages as well. But, I couldn't get the second stage to engage by just wiggling it. I pushed the metal flap thing in harder, and that seemed to engage the second stage. They don't shake. But, I haven't driven them yet to see...
  9. New Michelin LTX M/S2 on 275/55 R21 tires extra load on Gen1 R1T

    It's worth noting that Michelin has two different versions of LTX M/S2. And it's the Defender that has sizes for Rivian, not this one: https://www.tirerack.com/tires/michelin-ltx-m-s2 They've tested the previous version, and it was pretty good, but not top...
  10. New Michelin LTX M/S2 on 275/55 R21 tires extra load on Gen1 R1T

    I was just speaking very generally. I have seen very few (?none?) reviews of M/S2 by any of the tire review outlets. Can you point me to some that compare it with the AS+3? Also, this is a thread about the 21" options, which doesn't include the AS+3. But, those also seem like good options in...

    This, plus also maybe an automatic offset of the speed limit for resume? (Back before FSD ruined TACC, I used to use this all the time on my Tesla.)

    I second this. And it seems like something they can do without getting any external support. Google Cast will certainly be nice, but I'm sure there are a lot of tests and agreements that must be completed for that to come out. And even accessing stored music is a cybersecurity concern. So, that...

    For the Dual Motor vehicles, can they enable an automatic switch to AWD when turning (greater than a certain approx g. force [degree angle of the wheels per speed] )? It'll help reduce understeer and even out tire wear on acceleration out of the corner. Right now, I have to switch to reduced...
  14. Thoughts after switching to Rivian from BMW and Tesla

    I had my gen2 R1S in the shop for a couple weeks. So, I had to drive my 2018 Model 3 Performance for a few days until I got a loaner. The suspension on my R1S is definitely more refined than the Model 3. The Model 3 just seems kind of dead. The loaner QM R1S suspension seemed just a little more...
  15. GM Announces layoffs to cut EV losses

    It's very possible that GM used different Tier 1 suppliers for their trucks and the Blazer. I regularly see the trucks around me, but I haven't seen a Blazer EV. I live near the GM proving grounds. (I get to see the unreleased corvettes in camo pretty often :) ).
  16. New Michelin LTX M/S2 on 275/55 R21 tires extra load on Gen1 R1T

    From what I've seen with the reviews, I would say Pirelli makes regularly makes good tires, but Michelin often makes top notch tires. And if they are similarly priced, you'll generally get more for your money with Michelin vs. Pirelli. AND newer tire designs generally perform better. The M/S2...
  17. Gen 2 Premium Sound EQ - Post Your Settings

    I had a QM loaner, and the most noticeable difference was the sound stage balance. That's not something we can fix with the EQ.
  18. trickle charge 12 volt

    Seems like these tests were on gen1. If you look for the recent thread showing the differences, you'll see they say gen2 can be float charged from the pigtails, implying gen1 cannot.
  19. New R1S Competitor: Cadillac Vistiq

    I couldn't find the estimated range, but there's this info: 102 kWh Battery 46.7 miles per 19.2kwh 102/19.2 * 46.7 = 248 miles range
