Rivian Tire Swap Function

[THil08]

Are we gonna see the tire Swap function on Scout? It allows you to input your tire and it will update range and driving efficiency, really helpful information.

Rivian’s 2025.06 Update Will Let Owners Swap Wheels Without a Service Visit

Rivian’s upcoming 2025.06 software update is bringing a long-requested feature to R1T and R1S owners: software-based Wheel Swap. Currently, if you want to change your wheels or tires to a different size, you have to make a service appointment so Rivian can update the vehicle’s software...

This sounds like a really good thing to have.

I could see this being used a lot by people who switch to a winter wheel setup.

Winter, day in the woods. Maybe be able to save your presets.

I watched a video and supposedly it will have save-able presets. Only thing i wonder about is how TPM will work, since its a radio wave, so it would only be communicating to the first tire set. Unless its a bluetooth approach where you would need to connect to that sets TPM.

This is a great idea. Even if you have to reprogram tpm sensors it shouldn’t be a big deal most have a function that will learn the sensor by adding or letting air out the tire

That's a very good question. Yet to be answered.

So after a bit of Research i found that for Rivian they connect and sync after driving. So they must have a motion sensor of some sort that lets it go into sync mode. Hopefully scout does something similar, not rebranding it with a sticker that says Scout and has a Rivian logo under.

That interesting I’ve heard of any that connect that way. I wonder if the motion activation will shorten battery life of the tpm sensor

My guess is that they only measure every 60 seconds. It says it conserves battery life, since it’s not constantly communicating with the vehicle.

I hadn’t even considered we might see Rivian logos on some things. Our Supra is very obviously a BMW in a Toyota suit. Under the hood that engine has BMW logos in various places. I don’t care as I understand the car would not have existed without the collab but it would be nice if they did that if they could at least change the logos.

We may or may not. Im thinking we probably won’t but who knows. I Know Scout doesn’t want to be linked with Rivian since the allegations that Scout is a Rivian in Sheep’s Clothing. So I'm sure it will have Scout logos on everything.

And for BMW and Toyota i don’t know what the contract write up was. But its almost liek how the Grenadier BMW wanted them to put the German flag on the car. And to have big bold letters engraved that said BMW Powered and the Shift knob in the vehicle.

Yeah I’m guessing with as much money as the vw group is paying Rivian everything will either say vw or scout

Without doubt it will say Scout or VW, mainly Scout since they are the main company that is an Independent company. And need to really show that they are.

The Harvesters Engine block will probably have a VW Code stamped on it.

Yeah it would make sense to a the very least brand as much as possible as scout with the dealer lawsuits and everything

Will probably have vw casting with scout covers on the harvester

I’m curious who they are getting the motors/axles from I’m guessing ZF since they already offer a solid axle ev motor

Probably ZF.

Guessing it won’t say VW to keep Scout arms length from VW ?

Independent Company let's remember. So probably won't see much of VW in them at all. my guess is a lot of Scout logo. and on the ECU's, it will probably have a Scout or Rivian logo.

You never know, and even established companies can overlook the little things. We had an Infinity QX30 for awhile (great car, btw) and I knew when we bought it that it was basically a rebranded Mercedes. Sure enough, on the little emergency key that popped out of the key fob, there was a Mercedes logo.

Are all Rivians modules manufactured in house?
