  1. Toyo Open Country A/T III EV review

    Just had my 2nd tire rotation after putting a set of these on my 25' R1S and couldn't be happier. OEM pirelles died at 17k. Tech said tires were at 12mm and 12.5mm and yes I drive it like its stolen I mean totally drive the speed limit 100% of the time. Originally, I believe my TOYO OC AT3EV's...
  2. 2026.03 Update Pushed! Now Installing

    Good question about low vs kneel height. Mobile service said for best efficiency try using lowest height. My response was I only have low which was brutal on oem pirelles. Low is fine on the new 22" Toyo OC AT3EV's.
  3. Will R2 have the same heat pump as R1 Gen 2?

    G2 Heat pump held up great even in -15F temps. Efficiency took a beating (snow mode & lots of temp hold at 70 while running errands) but good to know I can adventure safely even in these frigid temps.
  4. Will R2 have the same heat pump as R1 Gen 2?

    G2 Here with a brand new heat pump. Haven't noticed a difference from original (aka updated heat pump technology) if i keep it at 70 not horribly lound. Set it to hi temp and yes very loud. Going to be -20F next 3 days. Excited to see how well it keeps up.
  5. HVAC default, why aren't the vents open?

    I was about to ask the same question. Not sure about using auto climate but I'm constantly turning on at least the outside vents to clear windows. I've got a service appt in two weeks for ting washers and plan to ask them about the foot well heat. Gen2 and find my legs are quite cold (temp set...
  6. Rivian in cold weather

    Yes started cold. battery was in 30s cabin was warm and plugged in so 100% charge to start. after the hour drive battery was at 51 degrees f when I plugged into DCFC. Second 100 miles of leg was similar efficiency with warm battery. Navigation said would arrive with 20% i believe then gradually...
  7. Wishlist of small things that Rivian can improve (that bug you)

    More options/modes for seat warmers. 1. both, 2. back only and for some i suppose 3. bottom only. I'd be happy with options 1 & 2. Also some pre saved seat position (2-3 work for me) options. Sometimes I feel like sitting all the way back and taking a nap while charging.
  8. Rivian in cold weather

    I knew winter efficiency would hit but was surprised this weekend what my actual efficiency was. Gen2 R1S Dual Large+ left with 100% SoC temp was between 0f and 10f. Drove 100 miles @ 80-83mph (Speed limit is 80) into 5-8mph winds with elevation climb of 500' arrived with 35% SoC so 1.35-1.45...
  9. R1S Range Drop in Cold Weather

    Thanks for sharing, will be first winter with my R1S and getting cold here (40's) and starting to see my efficiency start off in the 1.3-1.5 range after preheating cabin to 70. Was wondering when the battery warming would kick in. Even with efficiency drop wouldn't go back to ICE. Just have to...
  10. Questions about R1S

    1. yes, 2. yes and 3. yes, welcome to having a gen2 R1S with noisy heat pump. granted I don't notice it much with AC vs lots of noise when heating. If you turn off heat the noise goes away. Also noticed level of noise tied to temperature. At high temp it will be very loud, dial back to 70 and...
  11. Looking for new tire recommendations

    I provided the pucks and showed em where they go and said rivian recommends road force balancing the new tires which takes extra time but they didn't charge me any extra.
  12. Looking for new tire recommendations

    Yes mopar is dodge/jeep dealership (Stellantis) if you have one give em a call. Tire offer link they might try to charge you for alignment but can't actually do it so just tell them you'll take it to rivian for that.
  13. Looking for new tire recommendations

    Just got toyo oc 3 ev's. R1S on 22's. Mopar has a buy 3 get 1 free deal through 11/30. Will post pics once I wash her.
  14. 9mo efficiency check-in on the 2025 Gen 2 Dual Large - TL;DR surprisingly bad

    I can 100% confirm rivian does not account for miles driven only. I Just drove 10 miles while using 30kw of climate control for an impressive 0.3 kWh efficiency. My guess is between the gen2 camera upgrades and heat pump zeros out any sort of increased efficiency one could expect.
  15. 9mo efficiency check-in on the 2025 Gen 2 Dual Large - TL;DR surprisingly bad

    I've been jealous of folks writing about 2.5+ in town because I had never seen those numbers until recently. As others have said short trips are essentially just like driving on interstate. When driving 75-85 & no elevation change (super flat around here) I average 2.0 with that said lots of...
  16. 9mo efficiency check-in on the 2025 Gen 2 Dual Large - TL;DR surprisingly bad

    Glad I'm not the only one with a Gen2 R1S (Large+ so the weight of a max pack with 80% of the juice.) thinking something is very wrong with efficiency. I wonder if CT doesn't factor in things like climate control/hold etc where as Rivian does. I've towed very little (20-30miles tops) I like to...
  17. Halloween Mode NOT WORKING?

    Service said it should "just start working soon" and mine is now working. No updates to .38 or Rivian app.. I assume it's tied to their ability to shut off said feature come 11/1 automagically.
  18. Halloween Mode NOT WORKING?

    Same here. Finally got update yesterday G2 Dual R1S No C+. Worked right away/for all of 6 hrs. Woke up this am to nothing. App says spooky mode turning on/off but vehicle doesn't respond to anything.
  19. Halloween update yet yes or no?

    Granted I recently signed up for roamer this doesn't make me feel warm/fuzzy about seeing Halloween update anytime soon...
