  1. Did you take high school science? Did you learn about perpetual motion machines?

  2. Wheels are no more or less accurate the tires. The electric motors turn the shafts, which turn the hubs, which have wheels mounted on them, which have tires mounted on them. Why emphasize the wheels instead of the tires? If you are being pedantic about what the motors turn, it's not the wheels directly anyway, and if you want the end result, it's the rubber on the ground that matters.

  3. Just because it stops sending power that way, doesn't mean the wheel immediately stops. First of all, if it's already rotating you'd have to use the brakes to stop it (why bother?), secondly, if the vehicle doesn't let the wheel spin, there's no way to know when it regains traction.

  4. Hard to compare this to other electric cars when there are no other electric cars that could even think of attempting this trail.

  5. The difference is that Rivian is already making customer deliveries, whereas Tesla still haven't even shown a production intent prototype. They've so far only shown a concept vehicle which isn't even remotely street legal.

  6. The lightning hasn't started deliveries yet, Rivian has. Also, completely different target market. The lightning won't be nearly as good an off-roader, but will be a much better work truck. All depends what you're looking for.

  7. And by better you mean imaginary.

  8. They did air down for the trail. Nothing is 100% to stop flats.

  9. Good luck fueling up your internal combustion truck in a blackout. Gas stations need electricity too.

  10. Rivian has already started customer deliveries, the Ford Lightning first deliveries are scheduled for next year.

  11. I've never had an electric vehicle sneak up on me. The sound of the tires is plenty. Modern luxury cars are equally quiet, and nobody proposes that they need noisemakers. Noise is harmful, it's pollution. There is no reason to force more noise on people. If you are worried about it, you need to take the headphones off, and stop walking down the middle of the road.

  12. They are well tested to 3ft, the limiting factor is the risk of the truck floating away, not water damage.

  13. There are more types of "truck" than just your own preferred use case. I can guarantee you that an F-350 crew cab longbox dually would be useless on that trail, but I doubt anyone would mock it as "for people who really don't need to use a truck" because of it. This isn't designed to be a fleet truck, or a ranch truck, or a contractor truck. It's designed to be an adventure truck. Different market segments, but still a type of truck.

  14. They all have. CCS. Only Tesla doesn't use it, just like only apple doesn't use USB-C.

  15. It was never intended to be your work truck. That's a completely different market segment than this thing is aiming at. Sounds like you'd be happier looking at the F-150 lightning.

  16.  @oldWanderer69  Not everyone has your same use case. This will beat your work truck offroading every day of the week. That doesn't make your work truck any less of a truck. These are different target markets, but both different types of truck.

  17. Tank turn isn't braking one side, it's reversing one side. just braking would be a sharp turn, but not turning on the spot.

  18. Per Rivian it cannot be flat towed, in fact it must be on a flatdeck, not dolly towed.

  19. This truck has CCS Fast charging. It can charge faster than you can have lunch, and that's all that matters.

  20. It's not in the bumper, it's in the front quarter panel. If you frequently replace your quarter panels, I may suggest driving lessons... or not driving.

  21. You think the cybertruck won't have the legally required wing mirrors? I'd love to know how you think it will get through regulatory approvals without them! as for scratching the paint, keep in mind the cybertruck is wider, so instead of scratching the paint you'd be denting the panels, or simply wedging it so it can't move. This is a FAR more capable offroad vehicle than the cybertruck could ever be. Large size is a MASSIVE disadvantage offroad.

  22.  @Blueinfinity7  you've apparently never done technical offroading. We're not talking sand dunes here, we're talking mountain trails like in this video. As for dents. Wait until the street legal version is released. Crumple zones, and pedestrian safety are required in most jurisdictions, and many outlaw bulletproof vehicles. Couple all that with unrealistically low price expectations causing them to cut corners on materials, and Tesla's world renowned build quality and it'll dent.

  23. The S-10 EV and Ranger EV were certainly ahead of their time, but this is in a whole different universe than those were.

  24. It might be a "fun" fact, but it's also wrong. They're already making customer deliveries, they made tons of pre-production vehicles before that.

  25. I can guarantee that the computer drastically reduced the energy to that wheel, but it didn't brake the wheel because there's no point, and it continued to apply some force to it to be able to tell when it has traction again.

  26. By all reports it is plenty big for tall people. RJ Scaringe, the CEO of Rivian, is over 6' so the trucks have to be comfortable for him.

  27. I sure hope that I never have to have any "audio feedback" in any future vehicle. Once you go electric, you never want to put up with the noise pollution again.

  28.  @9a3eedi  So never on then? it would certainly never be useful, and always be annoying.

  29. What do you do when the fuel tank is low?

  30.  @tRiXMaddy  Not similarly equipped you won't. High end trucks from most manufacturers are up in that same ballpark.

  31. There simply isn't enough energy coming from the sun for the amount of solar panels that would fit on this vehicle to ever make sense. Solar is great, but mount them on your roof, not on your truck.

  32. The ford lightning won't be delivering to customers until next year, first deliveries of the Rivian have already started.

  33. In 6 years so far, I have lost about 3% of my battery capacity on my Model S. Best data available shows that in general degradation is around 5% after 100,000 miles. Not something I'm overly worried about.
