@Ladiver Regarding the HDD issue, Rivian used the generic term hard drive, below, which I think got translated to HD and then interpreted as HDD. I feel pretty confident that hard drive = SSD in this case.

100% agree. I would be shocked if we ever do.
I still think it could be implemented intelligently via a number of different methods, but I agree that it seems less likely. Of all the things they could devote development resources to, I think tank turn should be pretty low on the list.

I think we always knew only a fraction of owners would even use it at all. With the announcement of the dual motor variant, it means the benefit would only be used by a fraction of owners on a fraction of vehicles.

Y'all are just making stuff up now.

Like that time I lost my pictures when my Diddio Drive zapified the BGKLH cable.
My Drives were SCSI (scuzzy), so there's that!

Oh dang. That was one of the main use cases I had. I need to make a U-turn and I need to do it in a closed space and OBTW, the dirt is loose and I don't mind tearing it up. :)
Seriously though, the tank turn is an eye catcher. Maybe the only thing more of an eye catcher would be one of these things actually in my driveway.

I really shouldn't have teased @godfodder0901 about his use of HDD. Unintentional FUD creation from a joke.
