Rivian software is a strange brew, eh?

It's slowly getting better. Magnetic refrigeration has the potential to significantly reduce hydrogen cooling costs, for example.

This holds only if the wheel size doesn’t significantly affect the ride height. It’s the only explanation I can think of that makes sense, aside from the 275/60 tire having insane rolling resistance, or always driving around with the suspension set to “low.”

EDIT: OEM 22: 32.8 / 2 + 3 = 21.4”, suspension height 19.4” above center, ride height = 35.8" OEM 21: 32.9 / 2+ 3 = 19.45”, ride height = 35.9 Custom 20: 33 / 2 + 19.4” = 35.9 So, his custom 20s result in a ride height that is 0.1" higher than the OEM 22" and equal to the OEM 21". But Rivian...

The results are surprising. I wonder if @anthonysfl 's superior results can be explained by the fact that his R1S still thinks he is on 22" wheels. Rivian might vary the suspension height depending on the wheel size. It could be that with 22" the Rivian is at a lower height on the highway, which...

I’m amazed that you can achieve this result with OEM 20s on a quad! Your R1S is still configured to the 22s; maybe that confuses the trip computer. Even miscalibrated, the difference shouldn’t be that extreme, though. Can you share the extract tire you’re using?

Heat pump, please!

I have a brand new R1S and the charging pad still doesn't charge my iPhone 15 Pro Max.

Rivian copies Tesla. That's their MO. Expect a lot of Model 3/Model Y cost reductions in the R2. LFP batteries will figure prominently.

The car will not join a WiFi 6 WPA2 network if a WPA3 network (e.g. a WiFi 7 network) with the same SSID exists. In other words, the car can’t handle two SSIDs with the same name, where one of them is more advanced than the other.

NOTE: my 30% number includes the effects not only of cold temperatures, but also switching into 20" wheels with snow tires, adding a roof rack, and placing a cargo carrier on top of that. That's my "winter mode." It's not just the weather, but it's now I roll on winter road trips. I care about...

Well drat, this car seems to “tock” a lot more than the quad. We’ll see what service has to say about it. It only occurs when the air suspension is active. Perhaps this car is so much quieter, I notice it more.

Are you on the max pack?

FYI, I believe the Porsche switches gears at around 50 MPH.

My use case is: with 20" winter tires, ] a roof rack and cargo carrier, I drive up winter highways and then up steep mountain roads, then turn around. Temperatures range from -10 to 35 F. For most of that trip I'm going 60+ mph. I'm on 20" R600 wheels with Nokia Hakka LT3 studies winter tires...

If the outside temperature drops, I definitely see range loss. It just occurs when the vehicle is moving, not parked.

I had this issue on my first R1S. Service took care of it (months later).

The first generation Taycan had a transmission on the rear motor that offered gear ratios of 15:1 and 8:1, and the front motor was always 8:1. That resulted in both crazy low-speed acceleration and superb efficiency on the highway. I wonder what the details are on the new version. I wish Rivian...

Porsche takes it to a whole new level, though. Rivan's rear gear ratio is 13.7:1 and the front is 11:1 (at least on the dual). The Taycan's rear gear ratio is either 15:1 or 8:1 and the front is 8:1. So, Porsche can get both more torque, at 15:1, and more efficiency, at 8:1. Imagine the Rivian...

Perhaps someday Rivian will add a second gear above 50 mph, like the Taycan. It’s perhaps too much to hope for.
