You're a disaster....you really are a complete disaster. I don't know why I'm wasting my tire with you, but I'll say this---if you're going to quote me, then actually quote me. Don't put words in my mouth. I didn't even suggest what you're claiming I said. Not even close.LOL. You have oscillated from "you are all wrong, quad motors are better that a locking diff" to "they are not even as good as a brake based AWD"? I am having having trouble keeping up with ya man, you are switching sides too fast.
Hey, I admit 'tho, I am old & slow these days.
Yes, I agree. My R1T is _not_ as good on simple obstacles as an inexpensive brake-based AWD vehicle is. You say "they can easily fix this".
Well, that would be nice. Here is to hoping.
Let's recap---my whole argument here is that it is entirely possible to have a quad motor set up work exactly as well as a fully locked 4wd system. Has Rivian accomplished that? No, they have not. Does that mean it can't be done? No, it does not. My comment about Rivian not even having their vehicles set up to be as good as a traction based AWD/4wd system is my opinion after watching Kyle's video. Like I said, there's no good reason to see power not being transferred from the wheels that slip, to the wheels that grip (to steal Subaru's line) as Rivian is currently set up (with the current software) and is evident is Kyle's video. That said, this part is VERY easily fixable with software alone. Is that not obvious?
