The Bosch motors they're currently using are permanent magnet AC motors.For all those reasons it seems to me if some of their short comings can be mitigated, switched reluctance motors are better suited for this kind of application (i.e. four motor off/on road vehicle).
Though I suppose four ac types motors with a coil driver setup maybe workable as well.

Nonetheless it will be interesting to see if Rivian’s in house motor design will improve things when/if they're implemented in the four motor variants.
