It turns out something Rivian owners think is helpful is actually causing premature tire wear.
See All 21 Photosowners did this all the time while Supercharging back in 2014. Only suddenly, this dude said something weird. “Yeah man, I love it, but I had to replace the tires after 6,000 miles.
Thus, the tire-wear problem has nothing to do with power. The issue is that other aspects of Conserve mode are not clearly stated in the owner’s manual. The Rivian R1 platform has five ride heights; the standard height in the default All-Purpose mode offers approximately 11 inches of ground clearance. Low or High changes the height by 1.5 inches in either direction. If you switch into All-Terrain mode, you access a higher high in the form of 15 inches of clearance.
So, you can’t just buy a Rivian R1 and drive it around every day in Conserve mode and expect long tire life. Shouldn’t Rivian put something in the owner’s manual? Well, it did, to a point, but people are misinterpreting the “Conserve mode optimizes the vehicle for maximum range on longer trips” part. It doesn’t say use Conserve mode whenever you want to get more range.
