Announcing our new "CLUBS" section where you can join or create a Rivian club or group! You can use this new feature to conveniently plan and discuss local events, gatherings or other club/group related topics.
So we encourage you to join (or start) special-interest and regional-based Rivian clubs at: https://www.rivianforums.com/forum/group-categories/clubs-groups.1/
I couldn't agree more, but the company also advertises a lot of trucks and 4x4s that have massive Rims and Street tires. So I don't think they are in to functional improvements.No doubt, but it’s a bit strange to buy an electric vehicle, presumably in part to be environmentally forward thinking and then intentionally nerf efficiency for what is arguably a pretty underwhelming look. Is it improving on the original paint, no.
Actually, you might be shocked to know that there's a chance it *improves* the drag.I’m surprised no one has asked what this would do to drag coefficient. This is going to negatively impact range, but I wonder how much.
Was thinking the same thing and how much range loss would he/she see compared with stock?Ho
How much heavier?
Who said it kills efficiency? The reality is that its probably less than 300lbs for the full truck. Could be even less depending on the thickness he applied it. That 300lb estimate is based on the applied thickness that is indicated for truck beds which is much thicker than would be required on some body panels. Many people carry that much unnecessary crap in their car daily.No doubt, but it’s a bit strange to buy an electric vehicle, presumably in part to be environmentally forward thinking and then intentionally nerf efficiency for what is arguably a pretty underwhelming look.
