You have indeed made this statement many times. And many times people have attempted to explain. Just *maybe* it is not as simple as a few lines of code? Assuming that the Rivian engineers are just too stupid, lazy or incompetent to do something so "simple" seems like lazy thinking (to me)... snip
This can easily be fixed via software because it is software that is controlling the quad motors.
...snip
Perhaps the sensors are not sensitive/fast enough or there are other problems to solve with the feedback loop required?
Several people have attempted to explain why there *might* be "torque available" limits. Those same people or others have suggested that *perhaps* there are component design limits with regard applying all available torque from no traction to (potentially) a full traction condition. Half shafts anyone?
Varying degrees of traction with torque on a heavy vehicle with lots of travel *may* produce levels of stress Rivian is finding they did not fully appreciate.
We simply don't yet know and therefore maybe speaking in absolutes is not warranted?
I'm assuming like most owners, that Rivian will indeed, over time, continue to improve the system. It *does* seem (to me) like the problem Kyle shows in his video could be improved upon; at least to some degree. But I don't *know* that it can "solved" with what is on the truck.
I hope so. In any case I've no doubt that if Rivian does improve it, even limited success will be seen as total vindication by some.
