Just my opinion, my money is on younger brands competing for market share with long established brands. The ones who can charge more, solely on established brand equity, and can get away with it. I work in advertising. Brands spend $ on marketing to build brand equity, so they can ultimately be...

Or just pick the 20” “all-terrain” of the launch/performance and replace the BFG tires with AS of your liking. Again, these BFGs are not ATs. They are not as loud or inefficient as real ATs. People are making too much fuss over it being called “all terrain” by Rivian. It’s just a name for the...

You must have sensitive hearing for certain frequencies. I have factory AT and I can hear the loudish Rivian turn signal just fine over tire hum. ATs are lounder than AS. That’s a given. Just like mountain bike tires vs road bike and beach cruiser tires.

Market for gen1 R1’s 21” wheel is proof. Plus, R2 bolt pattern is fairly common. There will be plenty of aftermarket options for wheels in 20”. The resale market for factory 21s will be small.

You won’t ever get answers from anyone about tread life, because usage is a vast variable that no manufacturer is going to hold their own skin to.

And if used with a high quality adapter, I don’t see any reason not to. They are just pass through devices.

This. Rivian didn’t make the tires. All questions/decisions regarding tire warranty falls on the tire manufacturer. They are the source. Ask the source.

If Rivian does participate. I’d expect there to be some way of claiming for those who took delivery on or after 7/1. Delivery numbers should be low enough for it to be financially acceptable.

Gen1 Elevation. No complaints. It has even gotten better and slightly less distortion prone with age.

And the “all terrain” BFG T/A+ is $275 each. To me, if 330 mi theoretical max isn’t critical for everyday needs, the choice is clear and self-evident. Tires are consumables. Do you choose to burn at rate of $442 each or $275? Side bonus for 20s: more compliant ride, more all weather...

So he is single-handedly inflating our resale values? I’m not sure to be happy or annoyed.

EVS designed it specifically for R1 fitment. Rim width, hub bore, offset and bolt pattern are all identical to factory wheels.

You can already see cost differences. And there are plenty of user feedback on the Pirelli MS from R1 owners (granted the R1 is heavier). The riviantrackr tire guide I linked has other AS options (for 20” wheels). And you can make a guess on service life based on tread depth and UTQG info...

It’s not possible, and not because of anything Tesla or Rivian has control over. It has to do with limitations of a Bluetooth protocol. Google summary: “ This is not a Rivian limitation, but a restriction of the Bluetooth protocol cars use to handle text messages, called MAP (Message Access...

And the Grizzl-E Classic version is one without fancy connectivity or app control. From what I’ve read it’s a solid piece of hardware. And the advantage of having a “dumb” EVSE is simplicity and reliability—no software to debug and not reliant on the company to provide software support even if...

Without side by side testing in same conditions, it’s an assumption.

Yup. ATs are inherently noisy. MTs even more so. The same traits (large voids between tread blocks) that give these categories of tires more off-pavement bite are the same traits that make them noisy and less round/efficient. R2 buyers need to realize the “all terrain” option is not an all...

“Eco” is mostly a marketing label. A tire doesn’t have to have the label to be efficient. There might be options that aren’t marketed as such but could yield similar results. The 255/60R20 Pirelli Scorpion MS on the R2 Premium has same exact 330 mi range as the 21” option.

Mentioned in multiple R2 wheel and tire option threads. Those are not real ATs anyway. They are in the all-weather category. See BF Goodrich’s own product page. Efficiency would be worse if shod with true ATs. Rivian calls the tire “all terrain” in name only, so the average person understands...
