I just got my Michelin Defender LTX 2 265/65/20 XL at Costco inflated to 48 PSI. My OEM AT tires needed to be replaced at 25K. I ordered the Michelin Agilis CrossClimate 2 thinking about durability, but Costco would not put them on the R1S so I was recommended these. OMG, the ride is...
I stopped by a Tesla charging station that happened to be on my way. It was not on my R1S navigation. I tried it and it worked one time with the Rivian NACS adapter, but failed a few times (got "waiting on charger"). I called support and was told that the adapter will only work with version 3...
I got 1500 miles on the odometer. I got the R1S dual motor Forest Green/Forest edge + warm ash wood Max Pack All terrain package. Most of the miles have been traveling between the Catskills and Queens, NYC driving 80 mph on the interstates, 70 mph on the parkways, 60 mph on the state routes...
R1S, Dual Motor, Max Pack, Forest Green exterior, Forest Edge + Warm Ash Wood interior, All-terrain upgrade, Dark wheel, Front Paint Protection.
Rivian took the Front Paint Protection out and told me that I can get it after delivery, which may be a blessing in disguise.
Got a text today to accept delivery of my truck 12/16/23 at the Brooklyn Center. Wow. A huge difference from the Feb/Mar 2024 estimate at the end of November. Hmmm. I should be happy!?!
I did a test drive prior to configurating 10/14 in Brooklyn. I wanted to see the colors and wheels before making decisions. I did a change with the guide from the large pack battery to the max 2 weeks later.
On my test drive, I got up to 20 mph and that's pretty good in that area...
I ordered the all-terrain package, which has the underbody protection. I really wanted the 20 inch wheels since the tires selection is better. I was hoping to get my SUV before Spring, but you guys are raising my hope for earlier. Thanks.
Irrational fears…
I’m a victim
My rational self said large pack
My OCD self said max pack
My anxiety self said change to the max pack and sleep better especially during the winter months
I configured my R1S a couple weeks ago. I got range anxiety and changed my battery from the large to the max pack a few days ago. I am getting the impression that the max pack will delay delivery. What are the experience of the members here regarding the waiting time from configuration to...
