I've been really happy. Michelin rep was at the counter (Costco) when I bought them. He said the rubber compound would make them an excellent winter tire, and the lower weight rated version is an EV tire so should get better range than ATs. These have a stronger side wall to accommodate the...
Are you sure if you buy out the lease you don't have to pay the per mile charge (if over the annual limit)? That would be unusual, but those types of leases do exist. They are called TRAC leases (or used to be when I was involved in it) and the buyout provision is to complicated to explain here...
My 20 stock tires lasted 22,000 miles. My Michelin CrossClimate 2 replacement tires have 35,000 miles on them and were 9/32 at last rotation. Just my opinion, but the Pirelli's stink. I don't have suspension on auto though, and rarely drop down to drive (even on interstate). Dropping down shifts...
You are correct....They both mentioned lighter weight and, hopefully, a small efficiency/range improvement. I normally keep my vehicles 100,000 miles, but don't trust this truck. I've had 37 items fixed (many they fixed while they had it....I didn't request) in my 58,501 miles. Have an...
Exactly...the changes are (hopefully) going to result in the same vehicle at lower cost and MUCH improved quality control. QC is killing them right now. Even at normalized depreciation costs the R1 platform is only breakeven. They can't raise prices in this market so they must cut costs...
If I keep this truck when I need new tires I'm going with a pure AS tire. These are a "hybrid" tire. I have 33,000 miles on them and they are 9/32. I'll take it.
Thank you!! This is information I was after. I have Michelin CrossClimate 2s on now. In conserve on interstate (in warmer temps) I get 2.1-2.2, but I don't drop the suspension to save the tires. I normally drive 73 mph?.
Can anybody on here who has a dual motor R1T on 21s give an approximation of the highway efficiency? I'm going to trade my quad on 20s, and trying to decide between a new dual motor or a slightly (under 10,000 miles) used quad from a dealer. Used quad is $10,000 cheaper. I've got 58,000 miles on...
Rivian sells to auction houses all the time. That's where dealers are getting most of them (but not all). They can be loaners or VINs that didn't initially meet the QC cut. Got fixed and sent to auction. I'm considering trading mine and I'm looking used with a VIN above 15,000. I've had 9...
Who "adjusted" the MMR value? You? Last summer with 22,000 fewer miles Rivian offered me 60,000. Was a better market and only one model year old then. If I trade instead of sell I save $3500 in sales tax.
I am thinking of trading my R1T for a Model X. Adventure trim, 2022, 57,000 miles & Tesla offered $52,000. I didn't think that was bad; especially for a wholesale value. Illinois zip code.
Well....I talked to a Rivian employee (in training) this morning. Sounds like the battery options are all the same, but software limited which you can buy up later. Gets new vehicle comfortably under the $80,000 tax credit limit. The pricing looks weird as you get further upstream, but that is...
Anybody else having very sensitive sensors? In my case it is only on the passenger side. It picks up a six inch high pile of melting snow that might be 18 inches long, and the house when I am 15 feet from it. Left side is normal. Started a couple of weeks ago. Annoying more than anything.
I love the truck, but would be lying if I said there hasn't frequent issues. I can't decide whether to keep it or trade it on another one. Latest is hypersensitive sensors. They started going off for the melting plowed snow on the roadside a couple of days ago?♂️. Not a big deal, but kind of...
