    Tire wear - how soon are people changing them?

    OEM 21s changed at 24,000 miles (changed at Rivian service center; price for four new tires installed was about $2200). One tire rotation at 16,000 miles. Fairly aggressive driving, with lots of changing among drive modes and suspension heights. Not much driving in conserve mode.

    Lubed tonneaus - is yours still working?

    I use dry lube about once a month. Had the truck since July. Parked in the garage. Use the tonneau 5-7 times per week. So far, so good.

    List of things you LOVE about your Rivian!

    I’ve had my R1T for about 5 weeks and 2000 miles. I am still definitely in the honeymoon stage as it makes me smile every time I see it or drive it. It is truly fun to drive, from the power to the one-pedal driving, to the way it handles. It’s my first EV so some of this may be applicable to...

    Waiting on Rivian wall charger

    That’s how it went for me as well. Rivian wall charger arrived three days after R1T. Worse, electrician can’t schedule installation for another four weeks. So using local DC chargers once or twice a week to 85%. Portable charger is available as last resort or to keep it topped off around 70%...
