Dual-Motor AWD System Specs: 600hp 0-60 MPH in 4.5 Seconds /// 700hp 0-60 MPH in 3.5 Seconds!

[Redline]

Progress report: When our Dual-Motor AWD system is introduced for R1T and R1S next year, you’ll be able to choose a standard version capable of 600 hp and 0-60 mph in 4.5 seconds, or an enhanced version that increases horsepower to approx. 700 hp and 0-60 mph in 3.5 seconds.

Feeling like a absolute DUNCE for paying for 4 motors now

PS this guy looks like if you painted a face on the top of a monk's head. Really odd choice imho.

Why? Especially if you're locked in before the price increase.

do they really think 0-60 is a primary parameter for buyers? How about getting rid of the vampire drain and building a charging network?

Until the range estimates are released I literally could care less ??

Pre price hike quad motor is going to look like a steal when the dual motor becomes the standard and the price for a quad goes up. Maybe

I’ve been wondering about this myself. Right now their pricing is too close together for the features each vehicle provides. I really don’t want a quad motor increase but at this point I could maybe see it happening.

I keep thinking it’s going to end up being 1200 hp and equivalent to teslas plaid well north of $100k.

“Approximately 700hp” means it’s probably going to have 700hp or a little less. Quad still has 835hp which is a significant difference.

So you do care? (If you could care less, then your level of care must be >0)

Or they cancel the quad and make the enhanced dual motor the upgrade. And then release an R1S performance with quad motors.

As a Pre-March Explore (RIP) reservation holder, I would love to balance the Adventure trim upcharge with a discount for getting the dual motor variant. Whom do I email at Rivian to suggest this? ?

I want that same option. I don't need the quad motor so would love for them to give us an option to "downgrade" to the dual.
