Regarding the second option — isn’t the Rivian already monitoring the 12V charge and waking the vehicle to recharge it when needed? If that is failing the 12V may be too dead at that point anyway. I like option 1 or just carrying a spare charged 12V to swap I if needed.

Auto mode is designed to go in Low for all highway trips so I am skeptical of claims that it’s bad for tires or the suspension. Anyway I second running boards as well as leaving it in low

This is a cool data-collecting effort. I would have expected a somewhat higher average at 60mph even on the 20" AT Pirellis. That wide range of values is interesting, I wonder why. Also, I'm not sure how much to trust the Rivian guess-o-meter graph or even the trip meter.

Just noting that the amber from the original post matches the little light over the front wheel well. I think it looks really good actually. Especially on green, but other colors too.

R1 color tier list S tier: red, blue, yellow A tier: forest green … C tier: el cap granite, launch green D tier: dune beige F tier: shades of gray based on history, Rivian will advertise some top tier colors (witness r3x), then focus on selling gray.

This sounds like how Bluetooth has always worked (very annoying).

To clarify, I was not thinking of EPA range, but real-world highway range, and as I said only in places where chargers are ubiquitous. I generally agree with your points and as someone who does camping in the wilderness, range matters a lot to me (also vampire drain). (edit) That said, it seems...

Seems like the cheapest battery option might just be another car battery, which might have enough capacity to help make it through the night without waking the HV. And you have a spare if your 12V dies while camping for some reason.

Tri is not getting 405 on the highway. 350 could be doable on efficient tires keeping the speed at 65-70mph. Quad should get the same as Tri. Anyway I agree that in places where chargers are ubiquitous, people worry way too much about range. If there is a good fast charger every 50 miles, then...

Awesome. For camping, could this charge a small battery during the day that keeps the 12V topped at night? Assuming no HVAC etc

Never mind, just got it this afternoon

Anyone else, not connected to Wifi, not getting this update yet? Gen 1 R1S. This is one I actually want since my current tires are a different size than the vehicle thinks they are.

You must be referring to highway speeds. I can get more miles than that in all purpose mode in my gen 1 large on ATs ... but I have to be going 55

i usually honk, but it being Rivian nobody can hear me. seriously though, too many Rivians in colorado. I try to wave to all but may need to adopt a policy of only waving to fellow yellows. Sorry to the rest of the plebes

General efficiency comments It's very hard to say because of so many potential factors. Driving speed. Air resistance is quadratic, so going 75mph gives almost twice at much air resistance as 55mph. Tires. For example, on your vehicle the All-Seasons are listed as 15% more range than the...

Thanks, good to know. Completely agree on ice versus snow. I ended up going with Peerless Auto-Trac which are chains and a bit bigger than the Super Z8 cables. But I have 33" winter tires, so I'm hoping the extra clearance will work with the chains (I've tested them at very low speeds, but not...

Do you run those on 34" or 33"?

Definitely not the most cost effective, but I went with Morimoto 2banger HXB Wide beam yellow lights, skookum grill mounts, and this wireless switch. They are definitely warm enough to melt snow and avoid snow buildup, and have been good in the snowy conditions I've been able to test them in. I...

Sorry to hear people are still being put in dangerous situations by this. I installed fog lights on the grill for this reason. Plan is to use them and turn the Rivian lights down to "running lights" if necessary. It seems to me that the rear light brightness stays the same, although I actually...
