I also have over 100k on my R1T. I'm impressed with your tires. The pirellis lasted me 15k, but the michelins have lasted twice as long. I needed to replace the rear shocks under warranty at 20k, then again at 100k. The difference is the usage. I tow maybe 2000lbs 2 months out of the year...

My theory is that its the aerodynamics of the truck (lack thereof).

I dont understand these people. I go through tires every 15k. Other than that, no maintenance. R1T just turned 100k.

I bought the michelins. I was replacing the pirellis every 15k (front only), but the michelins lasted 25k (front, yes I dont bother rotating) and the rear have 50k on them. My efficiency went up to 2.48, but that's also a factor of the wheel weight (msw). I dont feel great on mountain roads...

Was this necessary? I didn't need to replace the brakes on my wife's Prius until 160,000 miles. In the last 61,000, I've braked less than 10 times in the Rivian.

When I've mentioned it, the responses I get from the reps and techs seem non sequitur, which makes me think the management doesn't know what they're doing. Last time I asked if they went in for a scheduled surgery or to the dentist and had to wait a week, what would they think... crickets...

Totally agree and this is the point of the original post. I think most of us EV buyers consider ourselves early adopters and see this as the future, hence there's a need to get this right. Reporting the odometer to your local DMV seems the most obvious, but there are little problems like road...

I bought the same tires (but 275/65/R20) and have 2.5 mi/kwh for the last 30,000. They're much better than the Pirelli's, which I had to replace twice after 15K.

Yes, the motors are a heat sink so the when fast charging, the truck will transfer heat from the battery to the motors to maintain the optimal temp. For the batteries, around 80 degrees

I got mine online through Tire Rack and installed them myself on my '22 R1T. They fit fine. I've since put 10k on them.

Likewise, speed (i.e. wind) has a huge impact. I recently drove though Monument Valley from Flagstaff and was concerned about the range. I ended up getting 375 mile range by dropping down to 60-65 and following trailers (drove 225 and ended with 150 miles). I've spent years cycling and riding...

Same in Utah, but it's because you're not paying for the roads through gas tax. It's actually too cheap when you consider that. I drove my R1T 40,000 last year and only paid a few hundred dollars.

It's part of the ADAS system so they consider it critical, but it's just for that stupid camera facing the driver (I'm not sure if it's fully utilized yet). One company uses Bosch and the other uses Snap-on. The issue is getting the software correct for different hardware. Regardless, if...

My rear caliper has paint flaking - I only noticed it after replacing the wheels (because of the aero covers hiding it). I've been an Industrial Engineer in machine shops and seen reactions to finish coats based upon contaminated/outdated cleaner. I'm not a quality engineer so take that for...

Yes, I think it's the aerodynamics. Iiving in Utah, we've had a prius and a Lexus rx350. The prius has never had one chip but the lexus had several chips. The rivian is even worse. I like the look of my truck but it is very boxy.

I use my R1T for my landscaping company in Utah. I tow with it all summer long and charge most of my equipment in the truck. I drive 3,000 miles/month and spend around $100/month on electricity. With its performance, optimal handling (traded in a Lexus for it), and economy, I think it's under...

Longer trips it helps too. The preconditioning will work to cool the battery. I've watched it go from the 90s to the 60s with 10 miles.

Just had mine replaced. The work statement doesn't list calibration but it's implied. Parts were $1173 and labor $560. I had a chip in the lower black area of the windshield that I couldn't see from the inside. A car wash turned it into a huge $1850 smiley face.

I just went with a 4 ton bottle jack on a stack of hardwood blocks and no puck. Things are getting too complicated on here.

15k on the front because I live in a city with a bunch of traffic circles. I've replaced the front set twice so far.
