Short video of a R1T, Broncos, and Jeeps going off-road with some decent water fording. Video looked pretty interesting.

Awesome. Rivian seems to acquit itself pretty damn well in mud and water crossings.

I couldn't tell but did the Rivian get through the spots where the others got stuck?

I had posted it likely around the same time in the OutofSpec off road thread, but this is better, and more easy to find

Aha! Thanks for letting me know. @Administrator, could you please merge this thread with the one @MountainBikeDude just mentioned and delete my repeated content? Thank you

Looks that way to me too. Impressive

The only thing that would’ve made it better is if they could have had the R1T pulling out the stuck jeeps and broncos.

Just sent this email to Rivian based on watching the R1T off-roading…

After watching Out of Spec off-roading the R1T, it is clear and obvious that a pedestrian silence mode is needed while off-roading! It seems counter to Rivian’s mission of treading/adventuring silently through nature if you’re blaring a pedestrian warning noise the entire time! So team Rivian, PLEASE figure out the best and most suitable way to fix this. Whether it be manually disabled or automatic while in certain/all off-road modes. I don’t think the squires need any extra warning!!!!?

Unfortunately it's legally mandated that users can't disable.

Unfortunately it's legally mandated that users can't disable.

is that mandate for all use or just on roads that would constitute a road legal/licensed vehicle? If the later is the case, then shouldn’t you be able to disable it off-road just like you can alter just about everything once no longer having to meet DOT or other agencies regs…

Dunno, I think it would be kind of funny if your Rivian yells out: "HEY ASSHOLE, I'm F'ing driving here!"

Finally someone using their Rivian for what we thought people wanted to use it for. Sick videos.
