  1. 21" Inch Coming down to the wire.... tire replacement

    I am nearing 4/32 on my OEM 21” Pirellis and bought limited remaining stock of the Hankook ION HT. I am trusting Gemini which states that reduced rolling resistance will more than compensate for the increased weight of the tires due to the longer tread life. I hope my experience is the same as...
  2. EV Efficiency Variable: Tire Mass Matters

    I have no idea if it’s right but Gemini is telling me that the rolling efficiency benefit of the Hankook ION HT far exceeds the penalty of its weight. And by its calculations it will slightly perform better than Pirelli OEM. Here was my instruction to Gemini after informing it of the tire...
  3. EV Efficiency Variable: Tire Mass Matters

    OP - can you just tell me if I made a mistake getting Hankook ION HT instead of the OEM scorpion Verde 275/55/r21 for my dual motor R1S?
  4. Rivian route planning with charge rates?

    I wrote into rivian and asked them to work with ABRP to make the icons of each charger show the price similar to how google does it for gas stations.
  5. Charge Port Actuator intermittent.

    I have a 24 R1S and am in a cold climate. In hotter weather now as spring has arrived. After the latest software update I started noticing my charge port motor having difficulties with operating. Sometimes no movement of the door and just some motor clicking is audible. After a full car...
  6. Rivian PLEASE give us a VERY LOW REGEN for Conserve Mode and Snow.

    I’m a Canadian winter driver. I agree. I’d like additional regen options or the ability to turn it off for winter. I have solved my risks by running very expensive snow tires from Nokian and operating in snow mode. And just deal with the range hit from snow mode plus the 20” wheels with the...
  7. 12-Month review: I can't recommend the R1S for most people

    It looks like you want a ix3 or if bigger lucid gravity. Likely the refinement you’re looking for
  8. First R2 trim will be Dual Motor AWD Launch Edition. Production & delivery on track for first half 2026

    I’m on third motor. And now I do not hear it engage. The third motor is dialed in. To be clear 1st failed. Replacement sounded clunky and I complained. Third dialed.
  9. What is your favourite replacement brake pads?

    I assume the oem brembos can’t be obtained outside of rivian. Has anyone got a suggestion?
  10. R1S Range Drop in Cold Weather

    Make sure cabinet temp is up before unplugging and leaving.
  11. Anyone towing 6,500 lbs or more with any regularity?

    I’ll keep an eye on this. I’m interested in a dump trailer so I can keep the R1S nice and clean. But wondering how large of one I should get.
  12. Canada WTB - space saver spare tire kit with jack

    Looking for an inflatable spare and jack kit for my R1S.
  13. When To Check The Brakes

    Yes this was my experience in Canada with the 2012 Prius V. I always would get a stuck rusty pad and uneven wear. We use salt in snow. I was cheap so didn’t investigate brakes or clean them at tire swap. It cost me. So with rivian I pay rivian 200 CAD every fall the make sure they are stuck...
  14. When To Check The Brakes

    Hi I have owned mine for 1 year. Previously I owned a Toyota Prius with regenerative brakes. I constantly had expensive brake repairs because of uneven brake pad wear costing me more money. So now with the R1S I have requested rivian to disassemble brakes and regrease sliders before each...
