The Type 52's look great on your R1T @cevans. Are those the stock Scorpion AT's on them? I know that you only recently got them, so won't ask for anything but first impressions. I do have some other questions about the wheels however, and they are directed toward both you and @Eric9610. It...

I went with the Emporia based on the positive reviews and the price. Very happy with it so far (early days) with my only complaint being the wifi connectivity. The Emporia cannot handle 5G and was a bit finicky in connecting. You can get a bit of a discount on the A2Z website with the code RIV -...

We only recently got a Gen 1 R1T, but also saw some funky route planning on a relatively short trip of about 100 miles. This was a trip we've made dozens of times, so didn't need the directions and just wanted to see how the Rivian navigation operated. Long story short, it attempted to route...

Thanks for the suggestions. I've done some preliminary checking on hotels with EV charging, but it's a bit of challenge given our route and where it makes sense to stop for the day. I was planing to throw in my 50' HD extension to cord to connect to 110/120v service in as a contingency. Less...

Rest assured, you are definitely not the only one not invited to the party.

For quite a few years now, I've been driving from from eastern PA to the Wasatch for a few weeks of skiing on the "greatest snow on earth" (hyperbole, but the white stuff in the Cottonwoods is certainly up there quality-wise and there's almost always lots of it. But I digress . . .) I'm hoping...

Nice write up - thanks for the information. Background like yours helps to make me more confident that a trip this winter from to SLC from eastern PA (roughly 5,200 mi with local mileage and side trips) will be relatively easily doable in the R1T, particularly with the ability to use the Tesla...

Apologies if these questions have been covered before, but does the extra width of the AW10 in the 20" size present any clearance issues? What is the diameter of the AW10 & tire combination when using a 60 series tire like a General GTS60 275/60? Will the wider wheel negatively impact range?The...

Also understand that this is an old thread, but will add my remarks anyway. The Basecamp is a relatively light trailer, and so is likely to have a fairly low tongue weight. My guess is that a WDH is not only not needed, but may also even be undesirable. That said, there are more than few...

That seems to be the case in my neck of the woods as well. As I was buying bagels this morning, with my nearly new R1T parked directly out front, the lady behind the counter asked if I like my Rivian. Lots of folks have stopped me to ask about the R1T in the month I've had it, but she was the...

New owner here, and an update virgin, so please excuse the naive questions. What is the procedure and timing relative to OTA updates? Is there anything that I need to do to get the vehicle prepared for an update? Should I assume that it would be beneficial to park in my driveway, where my R1T...

Thanks for the interesting and informative write-up. I agree with much of what you suggest, but I am not optimistic that many, perhaps any, of them will be implemented. There is little doubt that the Tesla SC network is superior. In the normal course of economics, that would drive inferior...

Are you referring to the Scorpions?

My local service station, the one I've used for years for ICE vehicles will order and mount the tires, as long as the weight rating is the same. I think I'm going to go with a set of General HTS60 in 275/60. They have the same 116 weight rating (2,756 lbs) as the OEM Pirelli, though the speed...

Is there a break-in period for Ev's in general and the Rivian in particular? Right now, I'm seeing about 2.02 mi/kWh on my two-week old R1T that has 531 miles on the odometer. About half of the miles were on highways, with much of that at a forced 55 mph pace due to speed restrictions in the...

Thanks again for the input. I put together a more granular estimate of consumption based on location and likely weather and road conditions, using a range of 1.8 to 2.1 mi/kWh. In general, this meant using a higher efficiency value for much of the eastern and mid-west legs, and the higher...

This may already be well-known, but if you took delivery relatively recently, I'm guessing as far back as mid-April when the opt-in emails went out (I only asked about my own early June delivery), you are automatically enrolled in the adapter lottery. FWIW, the CS rep I chatted with said that...

Thanks for the feedback. I knew ABRP was a European company, but not that they were Swedish. The surprise then is that their cost calculator defaults to the Euro and not to their official currency, the Swedish krona . . . Anyway, I've done a bit more research and will eventually refine my...

I was originally resigned to living with the 20" AT 275/65 Scorpions that came on my recently delivered R1T, but after 500 miles, really don't like the noise. I'm now considering swapping them out for an All Season tire, and it makes much more sense to go with something in 275/60 since they are...

I am hoping to use my R1T for my annual pilgrimage west from PA to Utah ski country in February. Using the Tesla SC network is pretty much essential for the trip. Given the very recent (4 Jun) delivery of my R1T however, the odds don't look promising for a Vivian-supplied adapter to get to me in...
