Question: EV tires wearing much faster than expected

HybridDriver42Community StarterNov 26, 20252024 Rivian R1S Dual-MotorCentral Florida
2024 Rivian R1S Dual-Motor, about 118,000 miles. Rear tires are wearing noticeably faster than I expected even though alignment is supposedly okay. I know weight and torque don't help. Has anyone improved life with rotations, pressure changes, or a different tire without killing efficiency? Appreciate any ideas on what to check first. What am I missing?

Low-voltage gremlins will strand you even with a full pack. Try a second charger before blaming the 2024 Rivian R1S — site sharing and pack temp change the curve a lot. That's where I'd start. This is from a 2024 Rivian R1S in Central Florida with 118,000 miles. Happy to compare notes if your setup is different. If this is nothing, great. I want that in data.

Charge curves lie if you don't match starting SOC and temp. Match starting SOC and battery temp if you're comparing 2024 Rivian R1S charge sessions. That's where I'd start. This is from a 2024 Rivian R1S in Central Florida with 118,000 miles. A shop burned me once by skipping that step. Checking again after work.

It did ev tires wearing much faster than expected twice this week, both times after sitting. No change in mileage feel. I'll poke at it this weekend.

Low-voltage gremlins will strand you even with a full pack. Try a second charger before blaming the 2024 Rivian R1S — site sharing and pack temp change the curve a lot. I'd do that before spending real money. This is from a 2024 Rivian R1S in Central Florida with 118,000 miles. Verbal 'we'll take care of it' is not a plan. I've seen both outcomes, which is why I'd test instead of assume. I'm in no rush to be a hero on it.

OP update: scanned the 2024 Rivian R1S again and still only have the one pending code, no new lights. Trying not to diagnose from the couch.
