  1. Toyo Open Country A/T EV tires new release

    I calculated something very similar. I had my LTX Platinums around that for a few weeks before raising to 63 in the hopes of better efficiency. I did not notice a decrease in ride quality.
  2. Eclipse + Superchargers + Rivian = Chaos

    No good for me. My round trip route went through Springfield to Doniphan. In that 360 mile loop, the only DCFC is a single 50kW unit at the Chevy dealer in West Plains.
  3. Eclipse + Superchargers + Rivian = Chaos

    I let Hertz hold on to my ICE vehicle for me. I rented and drove about 800 miles round trip to see the eclipse in the Missouri boot heel. Charging in that area is sparse so the rental ended up working out well.
  4. Well, guess it was my turn. Hit by a red light runner.

    Crazy there was an R1S behind you that showed up on the video! But it is Portland I guess so thatā€™s not unexpected.
  5. Well, guess it was my turn. Hit by a red light runner.

    Glad youā€™re ok, OP! Sorry to see anyone go through this. Good luck with insurance.
  6. Rivian won't calibrate aftermarket wheels

    Not following procedure seems to be the real procedure at the service centers! They made me wait for a week or two to get my spare installed because the new sticker wasn't in stock yet.
  7. How to Improve a Rivian R1T's Meridian Sound System w/ Simple EQ Changes (Equipment Measured Tests & Results) + Comparison to Elevation System

    Great work! Thanks for doing this for the R1T as well. Is there any benefit in doing these measurements while the vehicle is driving at, say 60mph? Would the added road and wind noise provide a truer experience for what our ears experience while driving?
  8. 20" Nitto Recon Grappler AT tires 25% more efficient than Pirelli OEM AT! The holy grail!

    I recently switched from stock 21" Pirellis to Atomic AW09 wheels and Michelin LTX Platinums. I may be testing the Costco return policy soon! Despite Michelin advertising these as an EV-ready tire, the Platinum's rolling resistance must be quite high. I don't have much data to go on yet since I...
  9. 20" Michelin Defender LTX Platinum Tires review -- For all of you thinking about a 20" tire! Your wait is over!

    I got my Platinums put on about 3 weeks ago so no long-term comparison yet. In the 367 miles I've put on them, ElectraFi reports my average efficiency as 562 Wh/Mi or 1.8 mi/kWh. For comparison, in the 6,105 miles I've used ElectraFi with my 21" Pirellis, my average efficiency was 521 Wh/Mi or...
  10. Texas 2022 Rivian R1T Launch Edition $68k OBO (Grey Ext. Green Int. 20" AT Wheels, Large Pack.)

    OP, looks nice and clean. Anyone who frets over a mark that small takes good care of their stuff. Doubt there are many cleaner than this. GLWS. Iā€™m guessing you were about $73k with grandfathered pricing after the tax credit with the underbody and the dark 20s. $68k treats you pretty well after...
  11. New Replacement Powered Tonneau Cover broke ...again

    OP, sorry to hear this. This is the first I've heard of the replacements breaking as well. Good luck For perspective on the forum, the original PTC on my June 2022 delivery is still working fine. I open/close when hauling things that won't fit under the cover, when loading the bed for trips...
  12. Rodent attack...now what?

    The Countessā€™ limp is barely noticeable these days
  13. 20-inch [AW09] Forged Wheels by Atomic Wheels

    275/65 Michelin Defender LTX Platinum on AW09 in titan. Titanā€™s a unique color. Sometimes it appears dark, sometimes light. I like it now, but I wasnā€™t sure at first.
  14. Third Rivian R2 teaser image - "Jump in — the water’s warm" (2/28/24)

    Glad to see theyā€™re keeping the same design language. They knocked it out of the park with the R1 series so why mess with a good thing.
  15. Experience shopping for an EV9 vs R1S - Update

    Lots of places to sell cars but I believe OP is stating thereā€™s no sales tax credit in CO if they go 3rd/private party. And he wonā€™t know the trade in value until he locks in the $1,000 deposit.
  16. 20-inch [AW01] Fully Forged wheels for Rivian

    Vanity. I like the A/T looking sidewall on the platinums better.
  17. 20-inch [AW01] Fully Forged wheels for Rivian

    As another data point, my lifetime average with 28k miles on 21s, without aero covers, across two winters in KC is 2.20. That includes several hundred miles of towing last summer getting about 0.9. Iā€™m getting the Michelin LTX Platinums in 275/65 installed on the AW09s next week.
