Nokian R5 is now the official Rivian snow tire.
I've had a set on the 20" All Terrain wheels for 2 winters now and they are amazing

My R1T has done it every time for 2 years unless I remember to turn the auto wipers off. My non Rivian car with auto wipers does not do it and it’s set to auto all the time.
So whether it’s a hello wipe or a failure to disallow an autowipe on wake, it’s a design choice by Rivian and is...
Normally I keep my wipers set to 'off' but I must have left them on auto. Came out on a 20 degree morning and during the hello wipe the driver side wiper motor got stuck. Normally that is no big deal - it just won't work until you physically loosen the blade if it is frozen.

I've had my R1T Quad lease for about a year and at end of term will either buy it out or get a Gen2 T.
I do have an R2 reservation that I will probably cancel.
I haven’t seen any evidence on whether this popular defense of Musk is actually true or not, but even still it’s not a very apt comparison.
Musk has expressed his terrible personal views like that for years and no one cared.
It’s several orders of magnitude worse, now, using his vast...
