Hot-V with a timing chain front/rear. Weird positioning for the wastegates on the manifold (cyl 1 and 2 don't feed them very well), and needs more flex provisioning to prevent cracking.

I'm assuming it'll be somewhere in the 500hp range on the dyno when posted... Then maybe 300hp real world output.

The heads are cast. Wonder what they originally came off of?.. Block is billet.
 
So it looks like they are going to be offering a 4 cylinder motor now as an upgrade?

Are people still waiting on cars to be delivered the preordered 3-5 years ago?
 
Im real curious about the TPMS as i think thats a great idea. But is the valve stem short and out of the way? Is it accurate?

I guess all of LOTD’s Tesla comparisons were apt:

There's a Broken Tesla Cybertruck Stuck on the Rubicon Trail Right Now

Drivers who saw it on the treacherous 22-mile trail told us it snapped multiple tie rods and needed a steering rack replacement.

Stock Rivian R1S EV SUV Conquers Infamous Rubicon Trail

A factory Rivian R1S SUV is the first fully electric production EV to conquer the Rubicon Trail, according to Rivian. Are we surprised? No.

In my neck of the woods, Rivians seem to be populating more and more driveways every day. Nice that they actually work off road. Has anyone done the Rubicon in a Speed UTV ? ? ?
 
There are a few videos of Rivians being rescued by Trailmater. Seems tie rods are the common failure there too.
 
Off topic kindof: :LOL:
The MAX pack in a Rivian is said to have 7,776 cells.....or for reference "D" size batteries in each vehicle.....this will be the new epidemic when they start to go bad....this is why these vehicles are so heavy!!

My buddy worked for them. That frame is pure beef, but McLaren engineers did the suspension. Guess we’ll see if they’re beefy enough.

Which, it isn’t. Lol.

IFS tie rods don’t like heavy duty wheeling though.
