How is your efficiency with the LFP dual motor on a daily basis (kw/h)? Curious about the 270 mi LFP being enough (even in winter if cold weather drops the range 20%).

Thanks for the thread. Now I'm even more curious, is the LFP battery not recommended for towing? Does anyone have an LFP and tow? From the videos, I know @OutofSpecKyle has the large pack.

So the owners manual details how to do a tire rotation DIY? I know there's a lot of DIY stuff in the Tesla owners manual, was hoping Rivian had the same thing but haven't seen it on their website yet.

Thanks for posting this! We live in Yorktown, VA and have been looking at getting a R1T. We were curious about where to get tires rotated without driving to the Richmond, VA service center.

It really did! A question for those of us that would be everyday drivers (not much off roading, but occasionally do some towing (Uhaul or utility trailer)). What would be the recommended setup? I'm thinking dual motor but am unsure what battery pack (LFP vs Large).

OP thanks for the very thorough review. Helps a lot for those of us looking at an R1T. My wife and I are considering one for our first EV (she has an R2 reservation).

Ah okay, thanks for the info. I'm looking at a R1T and don't tow very often and usually go short distances when I do. Considering the LFP battery vs the large pack.

What size battery pack do you have (standard, large, or max)?

What size pack do you have (standard, large, max)?

They just installed some here at a Wawa in Yorktown, Virginia too. Looks pretty cool.

That's unfortunate Rivian has eliminated most of the guides. Still not as big of a loss as Tesla firing their entire Supercharger team.

Tesla allows this with the FSD and self-driving to help the consumer. Since both are software subscriptions, you can get them after taking delivery. Reason why that is best, the customer only pays tax on the cost of the vehicle delivered. If you can upgrade the software later and save...

Doesn't seem like much incentive to upgrade to the quad motor I guess.

For the dual motors, are there any towing specs? Is it still the same 10,000 lbs capacity as the quad motor? If it is then I'm curious if the dual vs quad is like the difference between gas vs diesel. Both can tow, but it's HOW they tow that matters.

I can't believe they jacked up the prices like this and made standard features optional. What's the point of reserving early if your price isn't locked in? That is a terrible business practice. If you really want to make the vehicles accessible to everyone. Why wouldn't you keep the original...

I would also question where this data comes from and it's validity (life cycle seems a bit short for the Rivian). Also, how can this analyst estimate the life cycle costs of a model that has not even been released yet?

Are solid state batteries something that auto companies like Tesla and Rivian can move towards?
