People had speculated whether that was dependent on the car being in Park vs. Drive. Having seen several videos of it driving with handles out, Iām wondering if that is dependent on doors being locked or unlocked (locked - handles in; unlocked - handles out?).Anyone else notice the handles were out for the entire ascent video? That still bothers me for some reason.
Could also be a matter of speed. Most likely someone got out to spot or run the camera. So, they popped out. Since they really don't get up to speed, they don't pop in and/or auto-lock the doors.People had speculated whether that was dependent on the car being in Park vs. Drive.

We havenāt seen a Rivian with serious off-road tires, yes.I'm not impressed. Lots of tire slippage. Despite trying to go too fast he lost his forward momentum at one point. That little hill would be child's play with my Wrangler. OK, I know Rivian isn't trying to be a serious off-roader. But I wish they would stop pretending to be. It will be a superb vehicle for cities and freeways and the occasional forest road. But from what I've seen so far it doesn't have a chance in H**l of getting thru the Rubicon Trail (as was promised at the event in Sausalito last year).
Are you talking about those Rubicons that get towed there on a trailer because they are completely intolerable to drive on main roads to get there? If so, you can tow them there with a Rivian!I'm not impressed. Lots of tire slippage. Despite trying to go too fast he lost his forward momentum at one point.

Another good point. What we're seeing is a STOCK R1T. Most wranglers you see off-road have so much customization and aftermarket parts that they basically paid twice (or more) for their Jeep.Emme Hall said she drove the R1T up the top of Oldsmobile Hill in Glamis, the first time she had done so in a stock vehicle.
