My understanding is that many modern heavy cars handle a lot better than they should due to the stability control systems that torque vector using the brakes. Also I believe the quad motor R1Ts handle so all because in addition to the above, they torque vector with power in addition to brakes...
Agree I wasn't thinking of maximum power input, just the best handling which is what I thought was possible with a motor at each wheel. Can you provide a link to the weakness you mention please. Seems counter intuitive to me.
was thinking 4 smaller motors versus 3 big ones.
IMO the R3X should have a Quad motor. There is just so much more that can be accomplished with active rather than passive only stability/traction control. I also think this is truly what set Rivian apart from the others when the R!T first arrived.
Oh, if they threw in the variable...
