This poll is similar to a couple previous polls but it's focused on the Gen 2 DM Standard which uses LFP battery chemistry (and is equiped with Goodyear OEM 33" tires). The goal is to measure efficiency (in miles per kWh [MPK]) while cruising at 60 MPH on flat terrain at approximately 60°F (no...
We traded in a 2023 Quad R1S for the 2026 Dual Standard R1S with Goodyear 20ā tiresā¦Rivian really pushed the idea that the suspension was hugely upgradedā¦my current feeling is that there are really minimal differences. The big difference I thought Iād see was improved efficiency, but so far...
