  1. New 21" tire option - Michelin Defender LTX M/S 2 275/55-21 @ $380

    Just take it to Discount Tire and they will patch it for free, if possible. Damage from a puncture is unlikely to be deem a defective tire, though. If the tires are worn out before the mileage warranty, you could get a prorated refund based on the mileage you got out of them, not free...
  2. Weird Maps Behavior - Taking me a Longer Route

    Sometimes Rivian really wants you to take a particular route for some reason. I deal with this quirk when setting an initial route sometimes. I know which way I want to go, but I like to have the nav running to see traffic and eta. I realize it's a different issue than yours, but just in...
  3. Be careful using “Prepare for fast charging”

    My G1 truck does seem to target 75°F with the automatic preconditioning. I have paid attention during both hot and cold months, and it always seems to be heating or cooling to reach 75°F when I am navigating to a charger. It is also common engineering practice to design the middle of a gauge's...
  4. Building a new house - what would you ensure was part of the plan?

    For me, a big thing would be the depth of the garage. It looks like you have an R1S, but if you might ever consider an R1T, keep in mind how long it is. It barely fits in a standard 20 ft garage, no room to walk past it in front or behind. I have a 23 ft garage now and can at least walk by in...
  5. Battery temp of 15°F now appears to be where Rivian stops aggressively heating the battery

    This would be a nice feature. Unfortunately right now, the system is also bad at estimating the charge time with a cold battery. Last night with my battery at ~30°F, I plugged in and got a 12-hour estimate. In reality, once the battery warmed up from charging, the rate increased, and charging...
  6. New 21" tire option - Michelin Defender LTX M/S 2 275/55-21 @ $380

    The Michelin is absolutely a step down in dry and wet traction, hence the B traction rating compared to A for the Pirelli. This isn't an opinion, this is measured by the tire manufacturers. You can also feel the loss of grip after making the switch if you take corners aggressively or accelerate...
  7. New 21" tire option - Michelin Defender LTX M/S 2 275/55-21 @ $380

    I've had the Michelins for a couple weeks now. I honestly liked the OEM Pirellis; I thought traction was great and I never had issues with noise or anything. I got 29,400 miles on the OEM tires and replaced them at 3/32 tread depth due to the start of MI winter. If it were summertime, I would...
  8. News on Powered Tonneau coming to the gear shop?

    Oh, I get it now. I thought you had installed the PTC mechanism but were able to roll it in and out manually. Thanks.
  9. News on Powered Tonneau coming to the gear shop?

    Have you posted more details about this anywhere? I would love to do this. Are you able to lock it closed?
  10. Michigan ORV routes, Rivian group trip

    Late to the party, but following for future outings.
  11. Stuck in Zion and can’t level 2 charge!

    I have seen a similar issue. My workplace installed Tesla universal chargers with the integrated J1772 adapter, and they would frequently fail to start charging for me, although occasionally they would work normally. One day I plugged in and it failed to charge, but I was in a hurry and just...
  12. Had my first scary glitch/ lag while switching Drive Modes today

    Your truck was still settling from being in Highest mode. In Highest, your speed is limited to 20 mph, and it takes several seconds after leaving that mode to get the speed limiter removed. Once the limiter is removed, you have to release the throttle and then press it again to go.
  13. DriveCam vs DashCam video quality / resolution

    It's more than just a resolution issue, too. The drive cam as a very strong fisheye effect, so objects seem really far away, making small details hard to see. It also has a relatively low POV, which isn't ideal. And it's outside, so it's frequently dirty. It's certainly nice to have the feature...
  14. CA registration renewal is EXPENSIVE

    That's how it works in CA. You probably paid about that much last year if you bought the truck new in CA, but didn't pay attention if it was rolled into your financing. They gradually depreciate the truck so the cost will go down slightly each year. I'm in MI now and they do the same thing, but...
  15. Is this an R2?

    Looks like a regular R1T to me. They are not likely to have any R2 out and about with minimal camo like that.
  16. All purpose mode drops to low when cruise is set

    You have the ride height set to Auto mode. It'll drop to low when you're sustaining speeds above 50 mph or so, regardless of cruise control in my experience. If you don't want it to drop ride height at highway speeds, just turn off Auto mode.
  17. Headlight Out

    The picture is helpful to the technicians for parts and time planning. I fix things for a living and there's no way I can just trust a customer diagnosis, even for simple issues, and I often have engineers reporting the problems to me. A picture of the part failure or a screenshot of an error is...
  18. Check your shocks. Mine are leaking after 10k miles / 9 months.

    It's often normal to have a small amount of seepage from shocks, and so if they both looked like the left shock, I'd say it's probably not a defect. A very small amount of fluid residue can collect dirt and look like your left shock. That right shock definitely looks defective though.
  19. How to store a R1 at healthy SOC% for months?

    Storing a car for a matter of months won't hurt the tires. They might develop flat spots, but those will roll out on the first drive after storage and the tires will be fine. This is based on my experience storing cars over winter.
