    Dual Motor or Quad Motor Drift? What is your preference?

    Hard to tell. Looked more like doing donuts on a field than drifting... Which was more fun? p.s., I'm assuming private land, and owner is cool with it, in which case thumbs up.

    How to Improve a Rivian R1S’s Elevation Sound System With Simple EQ Changes (Equipment Measured Tests & Results)

    @superfluid do you happen to have the spectrogram view available to share as well (I'm assuming this is from REW)? I'd love to get a sense for the decay characteristics of the cabin -- curious how it compares to my home room acoustics.

    R1T vs. R1S in snow?

    In an effort to make sure the reader does not get the wrong impression here (as 25% sure sounds less than 50%): Ignoring the fact for a moment that the QM total output is greater than the total output of DM, and just focusing on the percent of power available at each wheel, it is directionally...

    Exciting first look @ Rivian Lift System by DCE / Weistec!!

    Look awesome. Any more details around available down-travel at that height, and implications to CV joint angles [durability?]

    Speaking of diffs

    While no one asked, I personally do believe that the Quad Motor solutions have the potential to be superios to lockers in all* circumstances. However, in it's current implementation the solutions falls short on performance relative to classic locker [and even advanced traction control]...

    Speaking of diffs

    While it's unlikely that anyone outside Rivian knows the answer to this 100%, my personal belief is that it is a limitation of the available torque at individual tire(s). There simply is not enough torque available (either because of limits of the motors/batteries, or through some software...

    Speaking of diffs

    I believe this is not the case. The disconnects do not connect the axels across from each other in any way. They simply connect each respective motor assembly (rear only as noted) to the axle it drives.

    Real world dual-motor and max-pack reviews missing?

    Where are all the real world (non-Rivian sponsored) reviews of dual-motor Rivians off-roading and max-pack Rivians breaking range records? They are supposed to be shipping, but I can't find a single independent review of either... My wish list is: Dual-motor off-road, back-to-back with a...

    Tug of War on Pavement: R1T vs F350 Tremor

    ...or could it simply be that the Rivian doesn't have enough torque to overcome the the static friction (while the truck is not moving initially, and the tires are in fixed contact with the ground), but once the truck starts sliding backwards then the tires are subject to the dynamic friction...

    Tug of War on Pavement: R1T vs F350 Tremor

    It’s torque limited. Not enough torque to spin the tires. the final drive ratio in the Rivian is so small that it doesn’t put all that much torque to the ground (compared to many less powerful vehicles with much larger gearing)

    Roof cargo box recommendations

    Yes, it clears the antenna no problem. Will put on again this weekend for a camping trip coming up. If interested, can snap a few photos.

    The clamps came with the platform.

    LAUNCH GREEN R1T Photos

    Not sure what you mean by OEM lock? The platform clamps on to the cross bars. If you wanted to remove with with wrenches you could.

    Shakedown Camping Trip with R1S and iKamper Skycamp 2.0/3.0 to the Adirondacks

    Does this mean that all of you slept in the roof top tent this time? And then next time you would have 3 people inside car and one in roof top tent, or one in the tent you had outside on the ground? What's the motivation for switching it up? [wasn't sure what we were "minimizing" between the...

    4x4 Roller Test Performed on R1T -- Rivian vs Toyota 4x4 Roller Test. Quad motor vs ATRAC vs Locker

    @Dirtcom_AJ Out of curiosity, did you guys have a chance to try holding down the brake pedal while applying power on the "gas" pedal (a common two footed driving technique on ICE vehicles when you want to apply torque on wheels, but at the same time want to have direct control over how fast the...

    It's a hybrid now... R1T charged at 5.2kw with portable generator and charging adapter

    For those interested in the topic, rumor has it that the new Fuel Injected Honda EU3200i has also been verified to charge at continuous 2.6kw, and it can even be shoehorned to fit under the powered tonneau cover.

    Looking for wheel size suggestion

    Would you mind sharing a screen shot of the life-time miles showing 2.5 on the 20"? I hear people often quote these kinds of numbers, and they are such a wild world away from my real life experience, that sometimes I wonder if it can be real...

    Did Rivian Give You a GOOD Value for Your Trade?

    Has anyone traded in another Rivian to Rivian (e.g., R1T trade-in while buying an R1S, etc.)? If so, what kind of value did they offer on their own product?
