Competitors are moving forward while Rivian management is way behind with innovation.

Yep. Guess you better trade yours in for lack of tank turn. It’s like they don’t even want you to tear up nature or anything, right? And there are clearly no other innovations included in their vehicles. WTF Rivian!

If you watch the videos of the electric g-wagons doing the tank turns, you will see a recurring theme. Loose dirt or wet pavement. Outside of that, you either destroy the tires or the earth beneath. Rivian as adventure company that advocates for protecting nature will probably never make it functional for public consumption.

Maybe check out one of the dozen other threads about this feature before spamming the forum? This topic has been beat like a dead horse and then run over with a tank turn.

If you check this dude’s post history, it’s nothing but complaints about management, wanting to join class actions, and other trivial nonsense. Imagine being this unhappy every day.

Imagine if the OP of this thread took even a few minutes to research tank turns on a Rivian and they discovered the article about 1-2 years ago where RJ was asked about this feature and he specifically said: Although we have the ability to integrate tank turns however, we've decided not to because of the damage they cause to the environment -- and that runs against our corporate ethic.

Just imagine...

Useless on most trails, just not enough room.
