I meant to get it done at 5,000 miles but trips etc got in the way. After a couple road trips past 5K, I. had the tires (20" ATs) rotated (no spare so 4 tire version) just shy of 7K miles. Wear looked minimal and fine.
I don't off road, so far just all purpose, conserve (only on long highway stints in good weather), and towing when towing for drive modes.
The directions to put the truck in "All Terrain" highest had me confused at first as that's not one of the modes. I found "All Terrain" is "Off Road". For those that dont off road this wasnt immediately obvious. I think they should rename that in the settings.
From there picking "Highest" takes a long time to get there. Especially if tire guy is eagerly waiting to get started.
I was unable to swipe the tire change setting under service when at the tire place. I was trying after it was in the highest setting and settled. At home I had no problem engaging it so not sure what was up with that. It just didnt move, no feedback just no swipe detection on that one control. Other UI elements worked as expected.
The tire shop's standard jacks with a single 1EV puck were too short to lift the truck enough. Using 2 pucks at each jack point (one side at a time) did the job. Glad I had 4 pucks. I didnt get the magnetic ones but the rubber gasket was strong enough to hold them in place.
Getting those jack point covers off on the fronts was a pain, had to use a pick to pull them out. Getting all of them back in place was really annoying and fiddly. Would love to hear any tricks on that.
Was the first Rivian the tire shop (a small local one i've used for my Tesla for many years) had worked on. They were interested in it a lot more than the Tesla (being truck types I guess).
I gave them the torque number and they got the PSI off the door.
Tire rotation was $35 and took about 30 mins just because we were chatting and poking at those covers, trying a single vs double puck etc.
