I think they’re trying to balance its drag coefficient with its boxy shape. Vehicles that have lower more raked roofs are slipperier. The $45K base model only gets 270 miles of range, so it needs all the help it can get, including a specially designed rear spoiler.
They do provide mobile service down here.Tesla owner here (M3 SR LFP and MY LR AWD). I really like the Rivian M2. Perfect size for my wife and me. The problem is, if there is no repair/service facility within +150 miles of where I live (south of Tucson, Rivian service is in Phoenix) I can't consider any make vehicle for our use.
Mobile service is great, until you need to bring your car in for an issue or recall that requires a return to the mothership!
We may be able to take care of that. Waiting patiently for our first R2!
I'm counting on folks like you to take the Dual or Tri-Motor and create a bit more off-road awesome without compromising the range too much.
Could probably be achieved with custom shock mount spacers (like the stuff you find for Subarus and other popular CUVs). But would require camber correction. Toe, may or may not be adjustable/corrected. Depends on factory adjustment range. You'd be introducing additional failure points (damage multiplier) and taking an efficiency hit. Primary audience will be suburban dwellers, which would make your wish an outlier.
