We have no idea how much the pedal was pushed.Interesting. Not what I would have expected especially for Rock mode. It's acting like an old school open diff. It clearly was not applying any significant power to the wheels with traction.

Yeah, it's odd. If people remember back to Kyle's R1S offroad review he had a similar behavior but it was up against a lip that was basically vertical and it seemed like it was power limited. I am struggling to believe that this is a power limitation. It makes me think that Rex wasn't comfortable flooring it on the ramp (I would not blame him) like @Dark-Fx mentioned, or as someone suggested in a totally different thread if Rivian is intentionally limiting power to the wheels when you're up against an obstacle as a safety feature to try and keep someone from accidentally yeeting themselves the moment it clears said obstacle.We have no idea how much the pedal was pushed.
Or a buddy filming 3' in front of your bumper, which is also nice.Play around! Either way the truck seems to know not to launch you from 0-60 into a tree, which is nice.
