I'm looking at either the Forest Green or Catalina Cove with the OC interior. I didn't think of myself as particularly being into more dramatic color combinations but then reminded myself of what the interior of my Audi A6 that I owned for 28 years looked like, along with dark blue exterior...

Here's a link to a short article from Expedition Portal on the Trail-Terrain+ tires, the same in name at least as those fitted to the R2 20" rims. Note as I had previously observed a month or so back the OEM variant on the R2 is not the same tire as the retail version and as such does not come...

This is what you guys need :D https://www.bravogoods.com/product/all-weather-remote-controlled-automatic-car-uv-protection-umbrella/

Ref the bolded part, did you check what the tire pressures were set at as that seems untypical feedback for the 20's? I've read on other forums that vehicles are sometimes handed over to customers with tire pressures set very high because that is how the vehicles are shipped on the car...

Are these demo cars all early full production units, still pre-production units or a mix? I presume the VIN would indicate? Its not surprising there might be early issues on new production vehicles but I'm wondering if some of the issues people have identified/commented on are just reflecting...

The OD for that tire is 31.8", i.e. 0.2" smaller in diameter than that stated for the OEM 255/55 R21. So assuming the OEM tire is exactly 32" then the ride height is lower by 0.1", i.e. negligible impact to speedo, odometer and range. Your AI search done you wrong on the ride height ;-) The...

From searching it seems that Rivian just supports minor OD differences on R1. But its not unreasonable that they could support more significant tire size differences if they chose to. Ford Bronco for example supports 30", 32", 33", 35" and 37". The 35" requires minor mods and the 37" is only on...

So this is what I'm not understanding. If the OD stays the same then the odometer wouldn't need to be recalibrated. The same would be true for range based just on the OD. The range might change based on tire tread pattern and compound for a tire with the same OD, but is the R1 given that data...

Interesting. So what does the programming actually do in R1 if OD isn't allowed to change? I thought all the factory wheel options for R1 were 34" OD?

The issue with 21" rims isn't the lack of tire options, its the lack of tire options with a 32" OD. The BMW iX3 50 has 255/40 R21 options with a 29" OD, Volvo EX60 has a 255/45 R21 tire option with a 30" OD. There are also Winter, Summer and AS 255/50 tire options available with a 31" OD. Playng...

I plan on buying the compact spare. I may also get a tow hitch tire carrier and a full size spare if I find myself doing a significant amount of off road travel, which is the plan. I wouldn't want to be lugging around the tire carrier and full size spare all the time though, with the associated...

I imagine one day Rivian may make a public statement along the lines of "We have been shipping R2 with the RAP1 processor and LIDAR for the last month (or some other relatively short time frame) and we are already seeing the benefits of the additional data collection for our Autonomy+ data...

With such long distances involved, for peace of mind it might be worth waiting a year or two to see if Rivian commit to a service center in one of the main population centers much closer to you, probably Albuquerque if as someone commented they already have a mobile service operator there. That...

And the bolded part in the quote below from Jeff Hammoud is why those who want bright/unusual colors aren't getting them on R2 for now. Rivian don't want to build R2 during the 2026 ramp and have units either sit unsold or take much longer to sell because people don't want the color, when they...
