They are both VERY capable for off road. Last fall, I actually chose the Dual Motor Performance/Max Pack with 20' AT's. It was my opinion at the time that the dual's will actually perform slightly better in situations like rock crawling (even though the duals don't have the "rock crawling"...

We have experience basically the same. I have done a few overlanding trips now with my Rivian R1T, Performance, Large Pack, with 20's AT's. We have an iKamper mini 3.0 mounted on the bed racks (OEM racks). I too considered getting a battery pack, but for the cost of them and considering...

Make sure to get all that corrosive alkaline dust/mud off your R1S. Trust me, the rust can come as much as a year later and it will be like cancer all over. I am stoked you brought your Rivian to BM and I hope to be doing that at some point. I usually bring my RV and it is hard not to bring...

I suspected this may be the case. Can you elaborate on that?

Another thing to consider is that the "battery" is actually hundreds of batteries, and they are managed by a battery management system. If anything like tesla, charging and discharging of each individual battery is managed for longevity. This is another reason we should charge to 100%...

This is great. Thanks for sharing this. From my view here, you are getting the quoted miles.

Which wheels are you running?

I know not a popular opinion, but I think there is a possibility that the dual motor ends up being a very strong off roader. The differential technology is well known and understood. Also, more people know how to drive that style and feel. It is hard to say, but I am keep my mind open and the...

I was reading a recent interview by one of the people on the Rivian software team. It was focused on the SDV (software defined vehicle) concept and how Rivian has written almost all their own code. They noted that they use some open source, for instance the bluetooth stack. I wonder if they...

I also want to know. The extra protection helps and using it as a step is good as well. I guess my concern is that they bolt onto the frame and I wonder if they could cause frame damage if they get caught on something. Thoughts?

I only have my R1T on order, but I have been driving Tesla's for many years. Headwind + high speed + raining sideways + cold = very poor efficiency. I am actually quite impressed with the numbers you got. In my experience, nothing zaps more battery then cold. Next worst is speed. The good...

I talked with someone on the team that said that they could not put extra battery under the rear bench since there was some safety blocker for that idea. Take that with a grain a salt.
