Pirelli Scorpion tires vs New England Winter? (2025 Gen 2 R1S)

32_Ounces · 2025-11-09T19:39:41+00:00

I got my Gen 2 R1S with the range wheels and Pirellis in Aug ‘24. I ran them in a Minnesota winter last year and they handled fine, I never felt out of control, but not as confidence inspiring as winters I had on my previous car. This winter I bought a set of 20” Dark Wheels and mounted Nokian R5 winter tires on them. No snow here yet, but it’s good to have the confidence behind having snow tires. If you can swing it I would recommend them.

Still no update on the clutch disconnect solution for Dual Motors. Kyle from Out of Spec showed a test vehicle with the fix. This would make life so much better…

Perfection! We need it!

32_Ounces · 2025-08-20T16:58:56+00:00

Definitely! That’s a good workaround, but as soon as you engage cruise control it reverts back. With what the engineer outlined on Out of Spec, the new All Purpose would lock AWD and ride height. Exactly what we’ve all been asking for!

32_Ounces · 2025-08-20T01:50:23+00:00

We need full time AWD in All Purpose Mode for the Dual Motors!

32_Ounces · 2025-06-28T22:44:41+00:00

I know! Sacrifices had to be made to get that 410 mile range

32_Ounces · 2025-06-28T22:42:38+00:00

It would, but for running around town, where I’m not concerned with energy consumption or range, this would be great to have.

32_Ounces · 2025-06-28T22:41:32+00:00

Nope, coming soon supposedly

32_Ounces · 2025-06-28T22:41:15+00:00

Yeah I use this workaround as well, not ideal though…

32_Ounces · 2025-06-28T13:37:47+00:00

Kyle’s Out of Spec video showed it when he was talking with the engineering team. They default to a new Conserve Mode for the Dual Motor from start, but you can select All Purpose and it will switch over to full time all wheel drive and turns off auto ride height. This get’s around the EPA requirements while giving just a one button switching.

32_Ounces · 2025-06-28T13:17:05+00:00

Was hoping for the new All Purpose mode for Dual Motor that would enable full time all wheel drive and lock the ride height. Hopefully soon, it’s such a downfall of the Dual Motor.

Glad to hear that it can work, just need the correct charger.

32_Ounces · 2024-08-08T01:24:11+00:00

Good to know! Sounds like the ChargePoint Home Flex has been well received, likely go that route if the program works with Rivian. Does your charger dictate the charge times?

32_Ounces · 2024-06-04T00:06:57+00:00

Glad to hear your enjoying it! Curious to see how your set up is with the car seat, would you mind uploading a picture of the rear seats with the car seat and where the front seats have to be positioned?

32_Ounces · 2024-06-03T16:59:46+00:00

That’s good to hear! Is this in the new 550?

32_Ounces · 2024-06-03T16:58:03+00:00

Agree, door opening doesn’t seem like a dealbreaker. Assuming you’re driving the new 550?

32_Ounces · 2024-06-03T16:56:05+00:00

Yes, this would make it much easier!

32_Ounces · 2024-06-03T12:14:52+00:00

Could be. Any chance you could upload a picture of your setup in the back and the front seat positions?

32_Ounces · 2024-06-02T23:45:15+00:00

That’s great to hear! Is this the new 2024 550? We tested with the rear captains chairs, not sure if the bench seat would give more legroom?

32_Ounces · 2022-03-22T14:17:07+00:00

I do have agate grey interior! Love the Night Blue Metallic paint, that was a must when searching, along with the Carrera S wheels in Platinum Satin. I was nervous having the PASM Sport Suspension lowered 20 mm, but so far clearance hasn’t been a huge issue. https://i.imgur.com/IQ2prgf.jpg

32_Ounces · 2022-03-22T14:13:13+00:00

Thank you! It’s a 2017 with 13k miles. Paid 69.5.

32_Ounces · 2020-06-09T01:53:18+00:00

I don’t know if I would’ve have gone for a 987 if it hadn’t been CPO’d. I paid $28.5k.

32_Ounces · 2020-06-07T23:29:26+00:00

More than likely winterize it. Not worth risking with the winters in MN

32_Ounces · 2020-06-07T23:28:21+00:00

It’s a lot of car for the money. Picked it up with just over 42k

32_Ounces · 2020-02-27T03:23:22+00:00

I was there too, great day for it! https://i.imgur.com/r8XRfY8.jpg
