Agree , I am waiting for the Rivian because of styling, quality and the 4 independent motors .
Still I would not underestimate the huge potential Tesla has to change how vehicles are made and driven for ever. It's not all pipe dreams either. Having a vehicle that can be produced at much lower...
Basically seems like the eventual outcome at this point :confused:.
All the dominoes are stacked up and ready to fall (Giga factories, battery cost/supply, manufacturing tech, material teach, software tech and price point).
in 2021... I think R1 will be first out on the trails tho!
Ya, for the rocks and lower speed things that should work out just fine I imagine. I mean , just look at the old H1 Hummer , with IFS/IRS and limited wheel travel they do just fine in the rocks (with big enough tires and portal hubs to help :)).
I have no idea what sort of dampeners they are...
I don't see a lot of off road specific pro / con discussions when it comes to EV trucks (specially Rivian and it's 4 motors system). From my experience with 4x4s, Prerunners, Rock Crawlers , Over-Landers I think the biggest Pros will be as follows:
-No need to purchase under body skid plates...
