Jesus Christ. Conserve mode?
95% conserve. I also have 20" rims with a lighter all season tire that is truly over achieving in the efficiency department. Some slow traffic on the QWE coming back really helped keep it bumped up. That included 1.5 hours of driving slow around African Lion Saffari in Cambridge Canada with the AC on keeping a family of 4 cool in the 90° heat

Which all season tire are you on? Would you recommend them in general?

I spy with my little eye 20" wheels and 32k miles. If my 29k mile tires are anything like yours, you either got different tires or they're so bald the rolling resistance has dropped a lot.
I am so impressed you made it to 29. I maybe could have squeezed 20 out of mine. I was just above the wear indicators.

I can probably squeeze another 5k out rotating in my spare, but I'm ready for something new. We're doing an Eastern Montana road trip in a couple weeks and we'll need all the range we can get!

Now, tell the people, what tires did you go with?!

Did you switch from 275/65R20 to 275/60R20? If so did you have Rivian recalibrate to the 21/22 wheel setting?

If you went down a tire size and did not recalibrate the speedometer the odometer will be reading high and will give you a misleading fuel economy number.

266 mi on the odometer would be 254 actual. Still really good, but not quite as impressive.

Yes. I did switch. I figure the driving at 1 mph with the AC blasting for 1.5 hours around yhe game park and sitting waiting to get back over the boarder for an hour would get me very close back to the 266 if I was just driving. But I do agree it's slightly skewed and with some mixed stories about getting vehicle information updated I would just wait.
