Snow mode instead of all purpose.

I don't see the point of driving an 800hp truck in a mode that cuts that HP in half
Example: driving through a neighborhood with lots of parked cars and speedbumps, baby in the backseat, grandma in the front.

Just like it's convenient to keep the suspension low until you go off road. Some people want a truck that looks lifted all the time or a sportscar that's always responsive, but I think the point of the Rivian is to be adaptable.

Only time mine comes out of sport mode is the rain or snow. Just reduce that power a little bit and be a little more mindful of traction.

Max Koff from rivisn told me sport mode with suspension in soft and reduced traction control is the best combo for fun.

Depends on the terrain. Around here we are in the foothills of the Smoky Mountains and the roads are made for a planted suspension and torque vectoring. Sport stiff with all the nannies is how I like to have fun.
