Gen2s Missing Onboard Air Compressors

[RivianRunner]

"inflators" are fine for the occasional top up but won't have the duty cycle of on board air. Ive burned up many cheap compressors. Just drive to altitude on a hot day go 4wheeling and then air up a few sets of 33-35" tires for you and your buddies. See how long that inflator survives. Even long duty cycle ones have a temp switch and kick off.

It's apparent many here don't spend time off road and yes there are patches to repair torn sidewalls and keep going.

Exactly! An off-road vehicle needs a more robust inflator than ANY of the run-of-the mill tire inflators, especially if you have big tires like the 35" AT tires my Cybertruck came with on 20" rims. I use this one with the Quad tire Morrflate hose system and it fills all four tires simultaneously, from 30-50 psi in 4 minutes flat! It's pretty impressive:

Looks like a nice version of something like a Viair Compressor

Yeah, except Viair doesn't make 120V compressors, only 12V. And I doubt their fastest compressor can match this one, it might be close though.

+1 for the TC/BL 120v pump from Amazon. The onboard compressor in my R1S takes forever to pump up 295/60s ~7 minutes per tire to get to 65 psi. The TC/BL takes all four from 30->75 psi in about 8 minutes (Tireflate 4 tire hose). Thanks to @twvette for posting this video back in December:
