  1. Air-Conditioning not cold enough - Will I be charged if it's "within spec"?

    My 2004 Tahoe a/c is much more powerful than my 2024 Rivian. The Rivian a/c is acceptable for me, but the Tahoe is much better
  2. New All-Terrain Pirelli HL in 22"!

    Pirelli has a new 275/50/22 All- Terrain XTM tire in HL 116T its has 3 peak mountain snowflake and is desgined for Electric Vehicles in mind. Discount/America's Tire has it listed for $397.
  3. 115 XL vs 116 HL tires in 275/50/22

    We look forward to the update. Pirelli is a homolgated tire so there is likely to be something unique for Rivian. The Nokian should be ok though.
  4. 115 XL vs 116 HL tires in 275/50/22

    Yep ! That's one I mentioned and potentially a good tire.. Nokian also has a 116 for snow. I was on their website awhile back and they were promising 22s for Rivian. Right now this tire shows up with online retailers but not on the North American Nokian website. I would not use the Venom...
  5. 115 XL vs 116 HL tires in 275/50/22

    the 115s for 22" adds more choices between highway tires, all terrains, snows, all season etc. the factory pirelli is only an season tire. You can of course move to LT to add more choices. I expect over time the tire companies will introduce more 116s in 22".
  6. 115 XL vs 116 HL tires in 275/50/22

    several tires ?? There are only 4 on the car. If all 4 are damaged beyond repair on a road trip you need to buy 4 new tires regardless.. So you'd be at the mercy of what tire is stock. If you are saying 1 gets damaged beyond repair and the tire shop says they won't work on it because they...
  7. 115 XL vs 116 HL tires in 275/50/22

    I just read in another thread that the tire load requirement is based on gross axle weight rating + a 10 percent Margin divided by 2. The Rivian has a 4960 lbs rear axle rating while the Ford is 4900. For the Ford based on this math it needs a 2695lbs load tire but the 115 is slightly lower...
  8. 115 XL vs 116 HL tires in 275/50/22

    Valid concerns, but the weight distribution is similar. FORD is 50/50, r1s 51/49 and r1t 52/48 as regards to more power... that's a "tire stickeyness issue for traction under hard acceleration. The all terrain options from the factory tires won't grip as well as the 22" tires setup for...
  9. 115 XL vs 116 HL tires in 275/50/22

    Ford Lightning Platinum uses 275/50/22 tires and they are 115 XL The GVWR rating for it is 8550 lbs, basically same as R1S/R1T at 8,532lbs The Tow rating for the Ford Ligthning in Platinum Trim is 8500lbs, but other trims can go higher. Based on the above, I would feel comfortable using a 115...
  10. Alternative to Scorpion RL275/50/R22 tires?

    The new "quad" uses these Michelins in a staggered station with fronts being 275/50/22. I however have not see these tires yet at the retail level.
  11. Adapters arriving by Jan!

    Rivian is now selling the NACS adapter for $225 on the website. I asked when my free one would arrive (Jun 2024 delivery for my Rivian) They said a large batch has arrived and they expect to deliver them by Jan.
  12. Service Appointment today: they won’t touch it for 2 weeks.

    So I just got off the phone with Service. They said the spare tire will be available Mid NOv, and they will send mobile service to bring it out.
  13. Service Appointment today: they won’t touch it for 2 weeks.

    I dropped mine off last Friday to El Segundo Service center with requests for Tesla Adapter and Spare Tire Kit. They give me an estimate for the spare tire. They set me up with a Loaner at Enterprise which was a Tesla Model X (happy about that). I get a call that it'ss ready yesterday. I...

    The Sonoma location is nearly 90 miles north of San Jose and about 47 miles north of Oakland. They use natural terrain for the demo.
  15. LA Los Angeles area First Mile test drives @ Aqua Dulce after Thanksgiving

    Sonoma ends 11/21. The staff will have week of thanksgiving off. I’m not sure exactly when they will get aqua dulce up, but it will be after turkey day.
  16. Non-OEM alternative wheels/tire options

    Rivian is et 48. RAms are around 28, which will widen the track.
  17. Non-OEM alternative wheels/tire options

    ET 48 is the offset. You can see it stamped on the wheel. bolt patttern is 5x5.5”. Sorry I don’t know the bore. Ram truck wheels might work but their offsets are around 28.
  18. Best tire / wheel combo for deep snow.

    Yep! Nokian tires are amazing for winter! It make sense buying from a company based in a very snowy part of the world!
