Update: long story short, these UltraTerrain tires, while excellent on rough and slippery terrain, are also so knobby they "grab" and sometimes "pull" while at speeds over 70 mph. While they're fine for now, given that I do a lot of highway driving, when comes time for replacement, I'll likely...
A few months (and some higher speeds) later, not as good. Can't tell of the wheels are misaligned (getting them aligned by Rivian Friday) or the tires aren't good for an R1S, but am having steering wheel vibrations at high (80mph+) speed. And in conserve mode (also higher speeds), the tires...
Saturday I took my R1S to a Discount Tire (in Albuquerque, on Juan Tabo) for its first tire change. The Discount Tire team did a fabulous job! They had the pucks; took care in lifting, dealt with the suspension correctly. Great experience overall. Will happily return to Discount Tire.

Lady: "That's a cool looking car. But what do you drive when it rains?"
Me: "Why can't I drive the Rivian when it rains?"
Lady: "Well lightning strikes those cars cause of the battery."

Burquena here. I scoop my R1S from Denver tomorrow. Soooo excited!
How did you get your Rivian? Pickup outside NM? Private purchase? Rivian delivery to NM?(is that even happening yet?)
Yes I participated. It was an hour on zoom, just me and a rep from marketing. She reviewed then-proposed marketing concepts and discussed my perception of, and needs around, Rivian. Lots of branding stuff (imagery, color palatte, messaging).
I had to sign an NDA so that's about what I can say...
Having towed lots of vehicles out of heavy sand, mud, riverbed, and other dubious situations, I'm not sure any off-the-counter tow straps are strong enough for the 7000 lb Rivian, either towing or being towed.
So I am getting their recovery kit.
However, my offroading is for work and so the...
June 2019 LE R1S here. Consistently crickets here too.
Trying to be zen while watching all the R1Ts getting theirs first, and now R1S's in seemingly all 49 other states, regardless of reservation date.
My vehicles are working vehicles (I'm a movie scout) and the current ride is fading fast...
I'm a woman! ?
And a movie scout.
My vehicles are all working vehicles.
Hoping dear lord the R1S arrives before the overused Pathfinder expires otherwise I'm outta work. :fingerscrossed:
I noticed the same and asked CS specifically about this, about five days ago. Answer: Rivian is still working through the R1S max pack engineering, but can't determine a date yet, so they left it off that availability chart for now. The max pack won't be ready in 2022. Possibly not even 2023.
I...
