+1 here too. Have had launch control on several vehicles and used them may be 2-3 times. The easiest one is the Porsche 911, foot on brake, foot on gas, wait for light, and let go of the brakes. As easy as that is, I have found a rolling start is much more satisfying and quicker, even if you...

Just curious because I have never seen my R1T give me these types of numbers (I have the latest update 2025.18.01). This is with my 20" AT factory tires that now have 13k miles on them. Granted this was for driving downhill from Leadville, CO, to Buena Vista, CO (a 2k elevation drop), but I...

I hate to agree with you guys because I love my R1T and Rivian service has been amazing in my experience. But, add no FSD and it's hard to justify this increased price tag. As much as I hate the looks of the cybertruck (and Tesla service), I have to say it's a better deal at these prices. I am...

Rivian was a bit late with those lease offers. We (and several of our neighbors) ended up getting model Ys at the end of 2024, with $13k in tax refunds "offered at purchase," 0% financing, $1000 referral, and delivery in less than a week. I tried to tell the Rivian sales. R1T and R1S are in a...

When I was looking for another EV at the end of last year, not many Rivians qualified for the $7500 Fed credit anyways. Most Teslas did. I believe it has to do with how much of the vehicle is US sourced. I have to add that other than the annoying wind noise that the Rivian service hasn't been...

Hopefully, everybody is okay. The pickup looks totaled to me, but if the R1S owner is replacing their R1S with another Rivian (assuming because it is totaled too), I am not sure I would would call the score 1-0, more like 0-0.

Wow, all five RANs:clap:

After driving my daughters Tesla model Y with the latest FSD, let's say I wouldn't buy another Rivian if the self-driving was a factor. Having said that, I would never trade in my R1T for any Tesla, especially with access to Tesla's supercharger network ? I am hoping Rivian continues to focus...

Thank you, boise_mountain_biker! This makes a lot of sense. Can you please post some pictures of the L-weatherstrip installed around the innermost door openings?

I connected each of my two batteries to a separate trickle charger. I wanted to keep the batteries separate so I could check their health status separately with my battery tester.

I have one on each side of the windshield tucked in at the edge and each is connected to a single battery.

Thanks for sharing the "soft sand" performance. I too am in Colorado but south of you in Highlands Ranch. I am pretty sure we got more snow down here with this last two-footer storm. In any case, my OE AT tires has lost some of the thread depth, so I switched to snow tires (Hankooks) and boy...

As many have already mentioned on the forum, the size selection should be part of the user interface, like other manufacturers (including Porsche) do when they have different size factory wheel options. Even Dodge reprogrammed my RAM 3500 truck for a different non-factory size option. I too...

Interesting that Rivian is recoding your truck. I just called them yesterday to recode mine since I installed 275/60R20s for my winter set and they said they only do recoding for factory tire/wheel combos. Very inconsistent of Rivian!

Starting to wonder if this is the longest thread at 28 pages :surprised: In any case, thanks to all your input on this subject (and for @shrink who started this thread), I decided to install SAE connectors direct to my two 12V batteries. This approach allows me to directly trickle charge those...

Thank you! I did some more searching since the data sheet lists different info from what's on the battery. Below is the best picture I could find on the Internet. I am specifically interested in the CCA (Icc listed here) to test the SOC for the 12V batteries so I am not surprised by a bricked...

I voted. Haven't had any issues with my dual battery R1T for 12k miles. I am interested in the cold cranking amps rating on the battery to test it with my digital battery SOC tester. Do you have a higher resolution picture of the data on the battery or can you tell me what the numbers say...

Congratulations! The only thing that concerns me about Gen2 is how the lithium-iron-phosphate (LFP) batteries perform in cold weather. I have heard a 20% hit on the range in cold weather versus the Gen1 nickel-cobalt-aluminum (NCA) or NMC (Nickel Manganese Cobalt), but maybe Rivian solved...

Oh, the famous I-70, so many memories... I started putting snow tires on whatever car I designate for ski trips after buying my first car with summer tires (an Audi with AWD). If you have ever driven with summer tires on snow, you'll know what I mean ? So, I was basically forced to switch to...

I actually hit an ice patch last winter on one of Vail's outer roads and that sealed the deal for me. It is scary enough to have no control on ice but then you add the 7k lbs and it gets scarier. In any case, yes I have the 20" Rivian wheels but getting an extra set of wheels is purely a...
