I’ve noticed several times now when starting off from a complete stop in Conserve Mode that the front wheels will often break traction. It doesn’t seem like I’m pushing any harder on the pedal to make this happen. Maybe the “gain” or whatever needs to be adjusted on the front motors when in two-wheel drive mode?

I used conserve mode yesterday…I didn’t experience any spin out on the front tires.

Could just be my truck. Or my right foot. I can reproduce it pretty easily. Next time it happens I’ll tap the 4-ways & update the ticket with the ~ date/time.

“Tap the 4-ways”…..what is this black voodoo, Rivian magic you speak of?

Apparently the logs are still pretty “verbose” these days. Support likes you to tap the flashers at the time something goes wrong as a marker so they can correlate that event with what else was going on at the time.

Surely you are simply overwhelming the grip of the front tyres with the tremendous amount of torque you’re sending to them in front drive mode alone. Probably traction control cutting in/out also. I strongly suspect there is nothing wrong at all.

Maybe, but if it’s supposed to act like a FWD truck in this mode, the tires shouldn’t be breaking traction under “normal” acceleration from a stop. Like I said, the problem could be between my brain & right foot.

When I picked up my truck the employee I worked with said that another employee had been driving her truck almost exclusively in Conserve and had worn down her front tires surprisingly fast. Might correlate with what you're feeling.
