Curious if anyone knows or has lowered the TPMS to where the warning light doesn't go off when airing down? I plugged my tire couple days ago aired up to 45psi and the light is on until I get to 48psi. However next month I will be airing down in colorado-New Mexico so seeing if it's possible. Had to buy a Mini Tazer for my jeep to over ride it so I know it's possible but maybe not on Rivian yet
TIA.

Sounds strange. I don’t recall mine ever complaining even at 45psi in all purpose… but maybe it’s mine that’s acting strange. Also you would think that in off road mode, it would expect the lower pressure. Hope you can figure it out.

the TPMS tends to read low, in other words the pressure in the tires is 3-4 psi higher than what the TPMs tells you. I confirmed with the SC that this is a common issue wit the R1Ts and there is t anything that can be done about it yet. Meanwhile the gauge on the compressor consistently reads high.

I did not know they read low I probably should double check the pressure with a gauge as they were a few PSI high according to the TPMS last I checked.

Good call on the offroad mode selection, didn't even think about that. Appreciate compressor info as well. Unfortunately mine always shows 2psi on the Guage until a replacement part comes.

Pretty much every vehicle will trip the light when airing down for 4Wheeling so that's not going to be fixable specifically. I'm usually down from 35psi to 12-18psi. I'd want the light to come on before it gets anywhere close to that on the highway.

Although in rock crawl and sand it would be good to auto adjust but not in Rally. What if you use Rally on the pavement to keep the traction control at bay? What if someone drives in all purpose mode off road but aired down? What about snow mode? Too many variables for the safety nanny.
