Looks like Minnesota. The problem is not snow traction. The problem for me is ice. I do not think the rubber compound is as good on ice as some other AS tires, and certainly not as good as 3PSF tires. Tire Rack does not rate them well comparatively.

I wonder how long you have once you are invited to order.

Unless it is icy? So you have 90 days to place your order once invited?

I just got a message that I am 4-6 weeks from being able to configure, then 4-6 after that for delivery.

I live in MPLS too, and the tires are the only decision point left for configuring. The Pirelli 21s on my R1S struggled when it got icy. I ordered on press day, but messed something up--I called a couple of months later, and they didn't have me down. Probably doesn't matter since I want the...

My conclusion is that I will need a Tesla charger (new or on eBay) for my R2 and a 5-20 pigtail for use when I am in Steamboat or anywhere that has a 120/20amp outlet. 30-50% faster charging makes L1 pretty useful. Actually, I use 12amp L1 when I am in Steamboat, and most days I add more miles...

I agree, it seems unlikely, but it makes sense that the increased speed may be noticeably higher than 12amp to 16amp would suggest.

So interestingly, the Tesla with a 5-20 pigtail is almost twice as fast because some of the amperage is used for It may be closer to twice as fast!

Thanks!

Would my NEMA 5-20 outlet But I wonder if the Tesla 5-20 adapter actually would decrease charging time significantly—or if the current rate is actually the same as 5-15?

You are right 5-20. MyNEMA google search was fruitless.

Probably the correct thread, but slightly different query. I do not have level 2 charging at my ski house in Steamboat. When I drive my R1S, I am always surprised at how many miles (20+, depending on how long) I can add overnight using my Rivian kit with the L1 plug. My garage outlet is a 20amp...

I agree about the charge port...it is slightly awkward.

The frunk holds my golf clubs perfectly. So even if I only golf 2-3 times a week, it is the perfect place to keep them. BTW, it holds 2 sets when needed.

Thanks, keeping my clubs in my R1 frunk is among my favorite features.

I have the white interior in my 3-year-old R1, I do not baby it, and it still looks great. I think light interiors are easier to clean.

Right now, 800v gets you absolutely no time savings at 90% of charging stops, and R2 will charge faster than Volvo's best. Two years from now, pretty much the same--maybe 80%.

FM has a useful radius of 75ish miles. If you have plenty of FM station access, maybe you are not adventuring.

Looks like they have edges to trap sand, mud, snow, and water.
