Rivian’s RAD TUNER is like an equalizer for customizing the Gen 2 Quad powertrain

All gen1 quad LE got was extra service tickets.
gen 2 quad LE gets lifetime connect + and so many new features.

Gen 1 quad LE did get about a $25k discount!

Just how adjustable is the RAD tuner? Like could you basically make Sport mode (or some saved custom setting) stay in Launch mode "turn it up to 11" power as a default setting?

Maybe I should make a new topic but does anyone else notice no safety Nannie’s are enabled anytime you use *any* RAD tuning. That is a major problem and means I can’t run these custom modes due to liability. This is not a development mode. This is not an off road only mode —- I see NO reason why forward and rear collision/cross traffic couldn’t be enabled in this setting. Can’t use it. Won’t use it now.

I don't have the feature (since I drive a lowly Gen 1 Dual, non-performance), but doesn't it warn you that the safety features will be turned off when you adjust things?

The Owner's Manual does caution you about the risks of using the RAD Tuner to modify driving dynamics (page 210), but it doesn't mention the cross-traffic alerts, which is interesting.
