I wonder if Porsche's 2-speed axle technology could be leveraged on a 2-motor Rivian?

To simulate true 4 locked wheels with very low gear ratios, it would indeed need to ignore reacting to tire slip, and simply continue to turn at the demanded RPM with very little reaction to tire slip. If we strip down the behavior of a 4-wheel locked mechanical system, it has the following...

My goal is to use a Rivian to replace our pickup and a high performance sedan with one vehicle. Trying to use it to also replace our dedicated off-roader would probably be one bridge too far. Like you, I've modified my TJ so much that it is a purpose-built tool. I wouldn't expect any stock...

Not only are the 3 locking members turning in unison, the entire mass of the drivetrain has a flywheel effect. Axles, driveshafts, gears, the actual flywheel, the crankshaft, it all has weight and momentum acting in unison. That weight is multiplied by the gear ratios in the transmission...

$18.10 +$1.87 (+11.522%) in the 24 hours since I made this post above. I rest my case. LOL!

Advertise it on BAT as a rare passenger badge factory-delete, for double the price. /s

There is a lot going on in this video. There are some choices he pointed out he made just to demonstrate the drivetrain, that wouldn't actually be good choices for hardcore wheeling. Stock tire PSI, stiff suspension, large diameter rims, and AT tires vs. MT tires in soft dry dirt is not at...

New poster, new investor here. I've just starting to invest in RIVN, and my plan is to continue to buy into the descent until it finds a bottom. For what it is worth, I've already priced in further price drops into my purchase order plans. I have a few limit orders at set lower prices to...
