Will keep my eye on these for the drag numbers and efficiency gains.

What is the top speed allowed with these?

Do those inserts affect tire balancing?

Good work @EV Sportline, I'm considering taking the plunge to offset my Max Pack tears.

It's kinda crazy that given the decent range increase that Rivian chose not to bring the inserts into production.

For any unaware, the 20's had inserts prior to the configurator going live in Nov 2020.

Maybe Rivian ditched them as the EPA range improvement was not material?

I've heard reports that the stock inserts scratch the rims. How do these mount and is there the same concern?

I’m not sure if I really want these. I guess I’d need to see a significant range boost. An extra 15-20miles would certainly make me pull the trigger.

Considering Rivian at this point is only stating about a 50 range boost for the dual motor max over dual motor standard. If the inserts could obtain a 20 mile increase on the standard battery. I would certainly consider these. Would rather spend 250 instead of 10,000 for max. I could probably make due with a 30 mile decrease from max pack and save $9,750. Keeping a close eye on your numbers for efficiency, how they attach, and how easily. What keeps them in if I hit some rough road. Can individual replacement pieces be bought and price for them. Does the efficiency show up driving slower or faster or both?

Planes are buying fuel, so ROI really matters. I don't think anyone on planet is trying to extend range as a means to ROI that cost. People want to extend range for that purpose, not for 'saving' on charging costs.

But that's up to you, maybe ROI matters!

Will they extend range....absolutely. Can you offset the cost to extend range by way of what you save on the charge?! ha ha, I guess if you like. First I have ever heard anyone trying to make range savings offset charging costs!

I just ordered. I do want to squeeze all the range I can out of my ride but you have underestimated the folks here on the Forum and the depths we will do to map out all the details...

The Rivian prototype parts were carbon fiber, it's a cost decision for them I am sure. We looked at making our carbon fiber at first, but it was crazy expensive!

Our design doesn't scratch the wheels. But, for those that want to take them on and off a lot, we made a simple PPF kit (clear paint protection film decals) that can be applied under our parts - the kit is optional.
