Agree that this was dumb not to offer snow out of the gate.

google ”Manitoba winter”
Traction control? Uncoordinated! Note poor footwear choice by the lead canoeistI did and this is the picture that came up:
How's the traction control on those things?
Except for maybe snow, eh?I plan on using sand mode in snow when I have my R1T and no one can stop me
snow isn’t my supervisor!Except for maybe snow, eh?
Yes my wife ran into same issue with wipers very dangerous having to get in and out of carDrove up to Breckenridge over Hoosier Pass in our R1T (also 22" wheels) during that same snowstorm and the truck felt pretty planted to me. Not rock solid but I wasn't white-knuckling it the whole time. I've driven a Model 3 for the last 3.5 years so OPD is second nature at this point which may help some, too.
This was a bigger issue - driving up from the Springs where it was pretty wet into the colder air meant all that snow clogged up the wipers pretty badly. Defrost kept the window from icing over (while we were sweating) but still couldn't melt what accumulated on the wipers. Had to pull over 4-5 times to clear the wiper blades.
I've had the same problem with the Model 3 in the past but I agree that this storm was different than normal with the big temperature swing and wet snow.
Regardless, I would gladly pay for heated wipers if the option were to present itself!!
What the!! WHY? Good weight and huge ground clearance, with aggressive tires. What are you talking about?Which tires do you have?
I hope Rivian introduces a snow mode before next winter. That said the only issue I have encountered with snow (on the 20" ATs) was that it has a hard time handling really deep snow. For typical winter highway driving I found it very competent.
Surprised by this I had checked some out and they have a wiper de-icer but don’t see any mention of it nor how to turn it on Maybe it’s just turned on with the side mirror and rear de icer. This is essential in Colorado during winter time. The other concern I would have is the angle of the headlights. I’m sure they’re prone to ice build up. This will decrease light output in the road. I guess we’ll find out this winter.Yes my wife ran into same issue with wipers very dangerous having to get in and out of car
