Excellent assessment - I think you are spot on...just for comparison, if buying a Tesla powerwall you'd be spending more than $1,000 per kwh....
I believe max is 141.5 vs 109 kwh, so for only $5600 you are getting 32.5 kwh additional battery pack...
$172 per kwh seems like a steal...
I think this is why (even in All Purpose):
"Front tire wear is further advanced because the front tires handle the bulk of the steering and braking forces."
Also, even in AP, the front motors are doing more of the regen braking...
They are ATs (not sure why Rivian is calling them AS)...will not be as efficient as the Defender/Grabber HTS60/Pirelli AS+3...prob. be only ~5% less efficient than those...

How are these tires working out for you, would love some data?
...these Defenders, Pirelli AS+3, and General Grabbers HTS60 are all neck and neck for being the most efficient 275/60R20 tire...
Nice Rims!
Tirerack has it available but no photo:
Photo from Rivian website, shows an All Terrain but calls it
"20" All-Season. Optimized for range and delivers confident handling in all kinds of conditions. Paired with our cast aluminum wheel. 3-Mountain Peak Snowflake certified for winter use. "

Very nice, it's already on tirerack! ~$250, there's also a similar tire on simpletire for $167...

Wow - that's great! Maybe after the next 5k you can do a new post on your setup, seems like the best aftermarket 20" tire option/setup currently available...
For those that switched to 80 PSI max LT tires, what is your preferred tire pressure for everyday driving?
Some calculations:
Tire Inflation Chart for LT275/65R20 (max capacity 3,750 lbs)
Load per Tire (lbs)
Tire Pressure (PSI)
1875 (Capacity of 7500 lbs)
40
2067 (Capacity of 8268 lbs)...
From all the different posts, there are three LT tire pressure camps:
1) Same as OEM (48 PSI) - I believe this works for the lower load range, but may be too low for fully loaded setup.
2) 55 PSI per calcs
3) 65 PSI because A) there's no MPK benefit above this, B) ride is way too harsh at/above...
Sorry - There are so many options for the 20" rims, but if you want a non-AT tire you need to go to the 275/60R20 tire size (not 275/65)...
Read here for 275/60 options (~2.3-2.5 MPK):
Affordable high efficiency 20" wheels and 33" tires options (275/60R20)
Here for decent 275/65 options (but...
How are grabbers holding up? How many miles are they at now? Also, curious about rotation/treadwear...if wearing mostly eveningly then no reason to rotate, right?
21” - 1 tire option
22” - 2-3, maybe a couple more
20” - 100s (5-10 really great options)
Worst part of 20” OEM is stiff/bumpy/noisey, but lots of replacement options down the road…
EDIT-Can always buy aftermarket 20” setup for $2-3k if you get the 21/22 OEM option…most pick 21” since it’s 10%...
