What do you mean "regen so limited"?
Physics... cars have bigger brakes on the front, and _all_ vehicles have front biased braking because that is where the weight of the vehicle shifts. Front biased regen is just using physics to it's advantage, just like every other car on the road.
Now that we can see motor and battery temp I don't know why it limits regen people have assumed its battery or motor temp but that cant be the case, I charge to 50% daily and leave the house with warm motors and battery yet it still limits my regen. The motors nor the battery ever get too hot so why is it doing it? I drive on rolling terrain for about 7 miles then descend from 8200ft to 5800ft daily. In that time my regen is maxed out to only recoup exactly 2kwhs, I assume if it let regen go full tilt I'd be able to recover around 5kwhs but it inexplicably limits itself and I get the warning that regen is limited.
If you have a QM they have poor inverter cooling, which sounds like what you are seeing. They fixed that in the DM. Learning, growing.
Sport mode yes, brave I don't think so.
When accelerating, the physics of the problem has the vehicle shifting weight towards the back and is more noticeable on the RWD vehicles. FWD vehicles too have the same phenomena as one of the Newton's laws that say for every action there is an opposite reaction.
It sounds like you’re saying that the RWD push loads up the rear wheels with the inertia of the car, and that’s not optimal for traction. Also, the car will lurch back eventually, and pulling helps preempt the lurch. Makes sense. I do prefer the RWD Tesla feel, but that was a sedan, not a truck.
Hmm, that doesn't really pass the "sniff test" for me. Seems like basic Newtonian physics is at work and there is not really a way "pull" vs "push" affects weight transfer. I think RIP may be closer to the mark with the different front and rear motor/gear configurations on the quad motor.
As others have mentioned, the front bias on regen is normal and expected - basically all cars are designed with brake bias toward the front. Whether or not this is related to the "tock" is probably a moot point, since changing brake bias rearward is unlikely to be a desirable fix for that issue.
Accepting the facts regarding front bias for braking and regeneration which is in effect simply another form of braking, I would like to see something different in Rivian vehicles.
This isn't possible. The computer can't know the point at which you lose traction without crossing it. There's no way to proactively go right up to the point of traction loss without crossing it. Car can sense traction loss and respond, it can't predict it.
I suppose you are free to think that, but unless you are an automotive engineer who worked on the Rivian I don't think you can state as a fact that it does cause additional front tire wear.
