Thanks for sharing! Any video of another vehicle with a locking diff on the same hill and conditions? Seemed like a fair bit of wheel spin from the Rivian, but camera angles and loose rock etc. make it hard to judge fairly.
I'm hopeful the radio silence for the max pack is because it's going to include 800v and 4 enduro motors, and Rivian don't want to cannibalize their own large pack sales.
@RedDragon thanks for sharing! A very interesting option to consider. How stable are the bikes? Think it's sufficient to handle a fast drive on logging roads without the bikes shifting too much?
I find it very odd that there's still so much work and tuning still happening on battery charging. What has Rivian been doing the last few years? I guess this was mostly just PR fluff: https://stories.rivian.com/cold-weather-testing
In the Motortrend article:
They sure are sticking to that statement ?, and then only have themselves as a reference. I trust Kyle from the Out of Spec folks MUCH more (and simple logic).
You can thank the spammers for this. It's hard to email lot of people without getting blocked or marked as spam. You have to build up your reputation slowly over time otherwise the algorithms cut you off. Crazy world out here in tech land.
Welp, we can see now why Rivian kept quoting that 20 min charging speed.
Since I wanted a road trip vehicle, I'm quite happy to have my order delayed until the hopefully next generation of hardware or software.
