Conserve mode on 2025 Tri-motor?

[mackgriggs]

There is no selectable conserve mode for the dual motor. It just does it for you when the extra motor isn't needed in all purpose.

Yeah, I've learned that now. What I really want to know now, which I posted there, is the 0-60 times in AP mode across all verisons. If its the same acceleration in AP between dual/tri/quad then....would just get the dual in the future since I'm in AP almost all the time (I only use sport to show off the car to a rider and that happens like, once every few months).

I think you are right for sure. I think you wrote somewhere else too that you also wish Rivian (or someone) would post the 0-60 times in AP mode for each version too. I'm sure Rivian wouldn't do it if its truly 4.5s 0-60 for all versions.....then more people would make the conclusion that the higher trims are just not worth it.

And correct me if I'm wrong....but on a tesla you can keep it on insane/ludicrous mode all the time and it won't reset...its just insane+/ludicrous+ that resets after 3 hours?

Posts here say Rivian forces a reset from sport mode on next drive mode due to EPA testing (epa uses default drive mode). Maybe thats not true if Tesla doesn't reset to standard from insane as a default and its just a choice made by Rivian to stay out of sport.

So many questions. Like...do you get full power with sport -> low as you do with sport -> lowest?

And unrelated...I always thought it was weird that they list tri-motor in conserve as 405miles rated...and dual motor max 420...but what about dual motor max in conserve mode? Or is that also 420...and its just that tri motor in conserve mode is essentially exactly how dual motor max performs (decoupling motors) and then the 405 is just due to city driving or inefficiencies added by the 3rd motor...

It is because of EPA testing that this is true because the quad can live in sport mode, as can the new tri and quad, as their EPA ratings are lower.

If you are not putting it in sport mode, are you really driving it hard enough to tell the difference? And if you are driving it that hard, why aren't you putting it in sport mode?

I would love to keep it in sport mode all the time.....but you are forced into low or lowest suspension and I would rather not have the tire wear due to the camber issues. If they allowed the normal ride height, I would keep it in sport. After all, I paid for the extra speed/capacility of quad motor, so would like to use it

And the problem is...I don't know if I'm driving it hard enough to tell the difference. Or rather...this is the information I don't have ->

0-60 speed of quad motor in all purpose mode
0-60 speed of dual motor in all purpose mode
0-60 speed of tri motor in all purpose mode


But even then, its not so much the 0-60 speed, but would I tell a difference in overall "zippiness" when driving around town if all 3 versions were in all purpose mode?

Rivian gives the specs of 0-60 in the fastest modes, but not in any of the other modes. Rivian "slows down" your vehicle in all purpose mode, but doesn't say by how much.

Without that information, how does one make an educated decision on which version to buy? If a gen 2 tri motor in all purpose mode is the same speed as a dual motor in all purpose, I don't see much reason to spring for a tri or the new quad motor. But if all purpose on a tri/quad IS faster than a dual in AP....that changes things.

The tire wear isn’t that bad in low it’s not really noticeable if you are on top of rotating the tires. My truck lives in sport mode

I have driven 20,000 miles with at least 15,000 of those miles in Sport/lowest. My tires show 0 signs of uneven wear. They are perfectly even across the width of the tire.

Also if you are in all purpose auto it drops down to low at highway speeds anyway. So on a road trip (where you will be at highway speeds 99% of the time, conserve and all purpose are actually going to be exactly the same suspension height.

I should mention...besides tire wear, the other problem with sport mode is that the suspension is harsher at low, and...I just think the rivian looks better lifted up higher too. Yes, I am aware that suspension lowers automatically at highway speeds, which is fine. I'm just talking about driving around town.
