  1. Tires Wearing Out by 25k miles, 20 inch A/T

    You have to get the HD truck version of the tire. I think it is "e" rating (that might be wrong though, I forgot). They are LT275/65R/20.
  2. Rivian Layoff 10% Staff and Lowers Production Forecast for 2024

    Peregrine is the code name for the cost cuts to be achieved during the April, 2024 shut down.
  3. Tires Wearing Out by 25k miles, 20 inch A/T

    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...
  4. Lease Buyout

    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...
  5. Tires Wearing Out by 25k miles, 20 inch A/T

    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...
  6. Thoughts on R1S loaner from an R1T owner

    I think he is comparing it to the Highlander.
  7. Lease Buyout

    I'm curious on this too. The lease details seem hard to find; especially where pre-paying and buying out are concerned.
  8. R1 refresh prototypes spotted with new hardware?

    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...
  9. R1 refresh prototypes spotted with new hardware?

    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...
  10. Dual motor highway efficiency

    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.
  11. Dual motor highway efficiency

    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?.
  12. Dual motor highway efficiency

    Obviously Rivian won't give a trade offer until you place an order ???, other trade offers are 52,000 (Tesla on an X) and 53,000 from dealer.
  13. Dual motor highway efficiency

    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...
  14. Rivian confirms working on interior LED color changing control (via Tweet)

    Or how about having my windows actual be "one touch" up or down without being reset every week? Or how about having my PAAK consistently work?
  15. New vs pre-owned- decisions!

    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...
  16. FYI: R1S trade-in quote from Rivian = $69.5K

    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.
  17. FYI: R1S trade-in quote from Rivian = $69.5K

    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.
  18. New Battery Pack coming soon says Rivian... combination High Nickel and LFP cells ?

    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...
  19. Sensors too sensitive?

    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.
  20. Rivian motor noise

    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...
