Local places here in Buffalo will charge you a flat rate for both swapping and storing tires in the off season. I think it's like $300/yr or something like that. Some will throw it in as part of a winter wheel/tire package.
Drive in in May, they throw the summer tires on, and store the winter...
That's the rear motor engaging as power demand is increased. Well documented. Some have had luck with the rear drive unit being adjusted, some haven't. Most of us live with it, and just hope we get an "awd lock" button at some point in the future.
Snow mode, or reduced stability control will...
Hold the far left steering wheel button and the Hazard Lights Button for 15sec. Reboots the whole truck.
Soft Reset just does the infotainment. Hold down the Far left and Far Right buttons on the steering wheel for 15sec.
I'm in the second camp. Consistency is what I want, and the frequent updates, as well as all the baked in tech and hiccups that come from aligning that many stars this often, well, just isn't for me.
After ~8mo of ownership I'm ready to go back to a "dumb car". Too many bugs, too often for my...
Would be nice if everyone remembered this.
Also, can we get the corollary to the manufacturers of "Stop changing the thing I bought, I liked it the way it was"?!?!
Got the windows ceramic film tinted. 20% on the front two to match the rear two. 5% strip across the front. Probably should've gone lighter on the strip. meh, it'll be fine. Already feels cooler in there.
Pretty much as long as I've owned mine.

Suppose this is a cheaper solution than a new tow vehicle.
I could honestly live with the non-adaptive cruise, it's the nagging warning that I'm hating here.
Electric over hydraulic gets the job done without fail. Lot of time and expense for a 3,200lb boat.
I won't own surge brakes. It's a garbage braking system that's highly reactive, and prone to failure at the worst time.
Fancy Gap in Virginia on 77 gets us up around 3,200ft. It certainly isn't towing an airstream over the Rockies, but it's plenty of up and down repeating hills. The Q7 would rarely drop more than a single gear and made around 400ft-lb, and on top of that I'm only towing 3,100lbs.
Again, the...
I sure hope this is the case. That constant nagging "use manual brakes" indicator is going to get old fast, and it's not like I had issues with hills before, so this feels more downgrade than upgrade.
This is where I'm at. The physical towing experience might be stellar, but this constant warning that I have to use the brakes to slow down is annoying at best.
I came from a Q7 that kept adaptive cruise and decent lane keep assist while towing. Drug the boat to St. Augustine and back from...
Hasn't thought of the lines blocking the ball completely. Guess it's one way to look at it.
I'll try accessory mode next time I'm towing. See if that makes it go away. I also have a Bluetooth trailer brake controller, wonder if hooking that up would remove the warning. Trailer doesn't have...
I mean, you're not wrong.
I backed up to the trailer, and got the ball into the socket in the first try. This is still light years ahead of what I did before backup cameras were a thing.
The misalignment is just another subtle reminder of something being not quite right with the truck. These...
How do you like the Hummer overall? I'm not super pleased with my Rivian and these agitations around towing aren't helping me fall any further in love with it.
Just retrieved the boat from storage. Second time towing with the Rivian, first time using cruise control with a trailer. Been towing for years, heck, decades now, so I've got most of the essentials covered. Have a couple Rivian specific questions though.
Overall, the truck tows well. Single...
As a dual motor guy that has no choice but to only use the front motor most of the time......I'm reasonably certain the drive wheels don't make the difference. My suspicion is that the ride height is what causes the wear, more so than the drive wheel decision. I RARELY use the "low" setting for...
This is a REALLY good point.
In theory, I can make the trip from Buffalo to Louisville (a trip I take often, and looked at heavily in my purchase planning) in a single stop. It's 533 mi, and I can get ~300mi from my G1 dual/large setup. HOWEVER, that takes me from 100-5% to get 300mi. SO, I...
