Just tried to order a full size spare through the gear shop with my reward points. However, since you have to call to place the order and it becomes a service item, they won't allow use of reward points. Really dumb.
FWIW, I don't even want to go into service to get this damn thing but they...
Just placed my order. Looking forward to getting them.
FYI, would be nice in the future to purchase a spare wheel. Quantity of 5 could not be ordered...

This is the front driver side. Suddenly had Very loud grinding. We were just starting our mini vacation and had to turn around and head home and get a different vehicle. The grinding went away on the way home. I assume it “self clearanced” but not sure how safe it is to drive. Is this [sadly]...
You are right. i was just venting and noting that there's been many disappointments.
I finally did get it out. IMO the key to getting it out was two things: moving my RV so I don't have to worry about running the R1S into it. (the RV was already on some asphalt in really bad shape but...
Agreed and thanks for your perspective. I did come it hot and I should not have. I was clearly venting, as my "initial quality" experience has been far below other new vehicle purchases.
It was my mistake for assuming mud would be fine, and it's not Rivian's fault or anyone else's, just...
The standard ones for 22" wheels. M-Y has high perf summer tires. I think both tire types would be bad for this situation.
I do kind of expect the 34" all-terrains on 20's to do a lot better here. Kind of wish I got those instead. I have 34" Toyo's on 17's on my 2001 LX470 (not at this...
If the impression is that I was blaming Rivian, that is not my intention. I was merely stating in the same conditions that the Model Y was much much easier to get out of a bad situation. I do think the problem is primarily the weight difference vs tire footprint, and yes, for mud, in this...
Rivian was not going in the ruts the Model Y made. I don't blame Rivian for gravity, I do think they made a mistake making such a heavy vehicle for off road. How are my recovery skills somehow perfectly adequate for the Y but somehow disappear when I drive the R1S?
But I see where this is...
Model Y hands down much better. Same area of mud, same access to traction-aids (wooden boards, which telsa really did not need), My M-Y is out in 5 minutes, and my R1S still stuck after 1 hour. Broken trim, broken steering wheel adjustment, broken A/C vents, inadequate A/C capacity, and a...
