1. Don't know but imagine Rivian sponsored / approved.
2. Launch green.

Thanks. I actually couldn't quite tell. Didn't seem green enough on my screen.

Wow, that’s epic!

Took the words right out of my mouth.

Really highlights the quad motor drive and its ability to deliver tremendous power on a per wheel basis.

It's been a long time since I've sworn out loud at the computer just watching a video. holy hell that's nuts!

It's cool to see them on an obstacle that I've been to since it gives me some perspective of what they can do. It's definitely a steep chute!
Running it in my 4runner a few years ago:

Cool. And it looks like you have some post preduction mods: a lift, beefy tires, and perhaps some mods affecting articulation.

Impressive! Less wheel spin than the R1T. The weight of the R1T is one of its weaknesses in a situation like this, and narrow tires.

That is one of the only downsides that I've found having a manual transmission in my off-road vehicle. Serious rock-crawling isn't easy on the clutch on steep inclines. Looking forward to putting some squishy mud terrains on the R1S to see what happens.

Nothing a Kia Sorento can't do

I mean it's still a 6/10 obstacle. Not impossible, but you'll need a 4x4 vehicle

I just don't do any off-roading so had no basis for comparison, so was just looking around a little and thought that was cute

Clearly with much better tires.

What do you mean? Street tire work well here, its not like knobby tires are a benefit on smooth sandstone.

Yes, it has a lift, lower gears and lockers which helps a lot over a factory vehicle.
There are consequences for bad driving!

Pretty cool the Hummer event was this month and seeing all the Hummers tackle this its cool to see the R1T tackle it as well. very quietly too might I add.

I was not expecting that…wow!!! Maybe wait to do this with the Rivian after I have had it for 10 years ?
