Where is this setting at? In the infotainment or on your phone?

I'm in MN too and haven't had any issues at all. My truck sits outside all day while I'm at work and, even in the -20F weather we've had the past few days, it does just fine and doesn't throw any weird faults or issues.

That just depends on how fast your charger is vs how much energy it's consuming. Also, to that point, if what you're saying is true then there's zero chance that you could precondition the battery with wall power because your charger can't output enough energy to do it anyway.

How is it not charging the battery? Go plug your R1 into the wall and turn on the HVAC to preheat. You'll see (at least if you have the Rivian wall charger that is) the charge level/speed increase once the battery is starting to deplete as the main battery is being consumed by the HVAC demand...

It would have to still convert the input 120VAC to 12VDC to run the internal components. The HVAC system doesn't run on 120VAC...none of the vehicle does. So you'd have to step down the incoming voltage and switch it to DC before sending it where it needs to go...or just send it to the battery...

It very well does matter because the pack is the source of the energy, not the wall. It literally and physically CANNOT pull power from the wall. The power from the wall HAS TO flow from the battery before being routed to whatever the appropriate system is, there's no other option. So what...

I have the same results as you...probably because I live about 15 miles from you. The temps that OP is seeing aren't cold lol.

Since Goodyear does not appear to want to sell this tire in the 275/65 size, I'm going to try and stretch my stock tires until the tire size change feature is enabled and then get these. They seem like the best of all worlds and are considerably cheaper than the Toyos.

That's a solid showing by the Nitto TG G3.

I know...that's why I asked what he meant by winter lol. The weather in Malibu is decidedly different from places close to Yosemite.

I see that your location is "CA" so what constitutes winter to you?

The vehicle cannot run the HVAC (or really any main systems) on the AC power your wall delivers, it's impossible with the way it's made right now. Tesla is the same. Both would (and do) need to pull from the big battery and replenish that amount used with energy from the wall back into the...

It's interesting that yours works different than mine then, maybe it's because yours finishes charging about the time you want to kick on the heater so there's no recovery time? Or what amperage do you have to your wall charger?

Do you have time of day charging enabled? You might be out of your scheduled window when trying to warm the truck up which is telling the truck/charger to not replenish the battery. I don't schedule departure because I don't always leave at the same time, I just turn the truck on when I wake...

TIL we have a heated wiper park? Is it an electrically heated one like the rear defrost or just a vent that blows hot air? Mine did the same thing. The SC had to do a hard reset of the whole truck by unplugging the 12V battery (I think?) for 12 hours or something like that. Apparently there...

Were you able to get your truck reprogrammed for the different tire size? I'm half hoping I can stretch my OE tires out until they give me the option to reprogram it myself and then I'll get these. They seem like the perfect tire overall, wish Goodyear would make us a 275/65/20 as well for all...

^ Agreed and, living in MN, I'm still debating on if I want to sacrifice the "cooler" look of the Toyos in exchange for the Defender LTX MS2's instead as we get our fair share of snow and ice. Would probably get better winter performance and efficiency even though the MS2's aren't 3 peak rated.

Looking at the Tire Rack page for the AT3 EV, it looks like the LT tire is 3 peak rated while the SL is not? Wonder if that's a misprint or something...

Those Defenders actually look a lot better than I expected, going to go this route in January.

Every time I see this thread updated with someone who ordered these tires I get excited to hear the feedback...but then I look at location and you're all in Texas or California haha. Need some snow feedback!
