Hello all, I thought I remembered reading about this in another thread but I couldn't find it again. Our Gen two does not have the scheduled departure capability in the app. Has anyone heard about what's happening with that? Thanks in advance!

That's interesting because originally, I thought, the new large pack was going to be 109. That would be cool if they kept it at 120.

So we took delivery of our 2025 dual motor max pack R1s last week! We love it! With that being said, the efficiency looks unchanged from the previous generation. We picked it up and jumped on the road to get home. The best efficiency we saw was about 2.5mile/kwh. We were driving about 71mph and...

That's good to hear. Thanks for the information! My wife said the same thing, " Well we are already spending this much money. We should get the max pack." Ha It said September-August estimated build date. We will see what happens.

I guess that's kinda what I am getting at. Out of all of the tires I have ever bought, I have never noticed efficiency changes/improvement in milage because I have never payed much attention to it or it wasn't a significant change. There is a gas station every ten miles and it only takes 2...

Definitely a big problem in the first generation rigs. Glad they did something about it! It's funny, I have probably watched every single refresh video on YouTube and everytime the topic of the large battery pack or tires come up, the engineer being interviewed never gives specifics. I...

Do you think the type of tire makes more of a difference on ICEs or EVs? Probably EVs? I have owned a Mach-e and Bolt but haven't had to change there tires out yet. I just hate the idea of having to continue buying a specific tire in order to get the estimated range.

But the Semi didn't get significantly more efficient after a refresh without significantly changing something.... With the refresh we got slight hardware changes to the dual motor drive unit clutch, a 50lb reduction in wire weight, and more efficient tires. Is that enough to make it...

Just an update. The sales department got back to me. We made the decision to switch to the max pack and they were able to make that change for us. I also got confirmation that the large pack is NOT a software limited max pack, but a different built pack. So for those of you hoping to unlock...

I totally agree.... I am hoping to hear back from the sales department soon. We will probably upgrade to the max pack if they allow us..... what's another 7k when you are already spending 90.... ha If they kept the original large pack I wouldn't be worriedabout it.... I almost feel like I am...

That could be playing a part in it too. I noticed that in the configurator as well. The only thing about that is, didn't Kyle asked specifically about that in his interview? Didn't they say it would only increase the range a couple miles when compared to the 22s?

That's what I am afraid of.... I don't know how they cam advertise these ranges....

So I called and talked to several different people at Rivian today. Everyone understands my worries but couldn't really give me an explanation. They put me down on lists to get calls beck from: •The service center in Portland, OR (I live in Oregon). I was hoping to talk with a tech to see what...

Yeah I think that could help a little, but the LFP small pack is less energy dense so it probably weighs just as much as the large pack. So why is there such a difference between those two? Also, even if they took a couple modules out of the large pack so it weighs less than the max pack, I...

Exactly! There is also the same discrepancies between the small and large pack.... The difference in battery pack size does not come close to matching the estimated range differences....
