The OD for that tire is 31.8", i.e. 0.2" smaller in diameter than that stated for the OEM 255/55 R21. So assuming the OEM tire is exactly 32" then the ride height is lower by 0.1", i.e. negligible impact to speedo, odometer and range. Your AI search done you wrong on the ride height ;-) The...

From searching it seems that Rivian just supports minor OD differences on R1. But its not unreasonable that they could support more significant tire size differences if they chose to. Ford Bronco for example supports 30", 32", 33", 35" and 37". The 35" requires minor mods and the 37" is only on...

So this is what I'm not understanding. If the OD stays the same then the odometer wouldn't need to be recalibrated. The same would be true for range based just on the OD. The range might change based on tire tread pattern and compound for a tire with the same OD, but is the R1 given that data...

Interesting. So what does the programming actually do in R1 if OD isn't allowed to change? I thought all the factory wheel options for R1 were 34" OD?

The issue with 21" rims isn't the lack of tire options, its the lack of tire options with a 32" OD. The BMW iX3 50 has 255/40 R21 options with a 29" OD, Volvo EX60 has a 255/45 R21 tire option with a 30" OD. There are also Winter, Summer and AS 255/50 tire options available with a 31" OD. Playng...

I plan on buying the compact spare. I may also get a tow hitch tire carrier and a full size spare if I find myself doing a significant amount of off road travel, which is the plan. I wouldn't want to be lugging around the tire carrier and full size spare all the time though, with the associated...

I imagine one day Rivian may make a public statement along the lines of "We have been shipping R2 with the RAP1 processor and LIDAR for the last month (or some other relatively short time frame) and we are already seeing the benefits of the additional data collection for our Autonomy+ data...

With such long distances involved, for peace of mind it might be worth waiting a year or two to see if Rivian commit to a service center in one of the main population centers much closer to you, probably Albuquerque if as someone commented they already have a mobile service operator there. That...

And the bolded part in the quote below from Jeff Hammoud is why those who want bright/unusual colors aren't getting them on R2 for now. Rivian don't want to build R2 during the 2026 ramp and have units either sit unsold or take much longer to sell because people don't want the color, when they...

This touches on a point I haven't seen discussed - How does Rivian introduce the RAP1/LIDAR to production, or perhaps more specifically, does Rivian give any advance notification to customers? My guess is that they just start fitting the hardware when ready and then announce it after they have...

As noted by others, the current 20" AT tires shown on the R2 don't carry the 3PMS mark. The question is what are the differences between the OE version and the retail version with 3PMS. Does the OE version have the same tread pattern, but just less tread depth, or is it more complex like a...

I don't think Travis has it quite right. Both the older Trail Terrain T/A and the new Trail Terrain T/A+ that will replace the older series are 3PMS rated as retail tires. However, BF Goodrich on their website in the Feature #2 section specifically note that this rating excludes Original...

Not according to the configurator. Its either 20" Bicolor Carbon All-Season as standard, or 21" Liquid Tungsten All-Season as a $2k option

Well both iX3 50 and EX60 seem to have 21" wheel options, at least in other markets where specs are listed, but they aren't running 32" tires (the iX3 50 has a 29" tire size, the EX60 has 30"), so the side wall would be smaller and the R2 would need to be programmed for the smaller tire size...

My understanding is that R2 is generating 12V from the high-voltage battery in order to provide redundant 12V supplies for door opening, using the two different battery sources. What is unclear is whether the R2 also supports that functionality for other 12V loads when the vehicle is powered...

As screen cap below from the Accessories pop up

I actually called it nickle and dimed ;) But to address your point, the auto market was ever thus. It is full of vehicles in similar price ranges with lower price vehicles below and higher price vehicles above. Customers will choose based on what is important to them, which will involve many...

Why should Rivian's pricing automatically be in lock step with other manufacturers? Should they also charge for all the options the other manufacturers do? Should they copy the competitors' nickle and diming too? And stating that paint pricing is changing the narrative is such a ridiculous...

There is no PR issue and surely you can't be advocating for people with limited financial means to be buying any new car, let alone one starting at $45k, regardless of when that happens. Your financially strapped demographic would be far better off buying a used Tesla Model Y for ~$25k or a...
