I only popped one tire, which seems like a win
Rivian had scheduled a two-hour drive down a winding mountain highway in an R1S with 21-inch wheels to an offroad course where more R1Ss equipped with 20-inch offroad wheels and tires were waiting as our test loop for the day.
Off-road, the R1S was a wonder; it has a shorter wheelbase than the R1T and was easier to navigate through the course Rivian had set up. Compared to traditional off-roaders, which generally require managing the transmission and differentials through various four-wheel-drive modes to make sure power from the engine is getting to the right wheel at the right time, the R1S was hilariously simple to drive.
Rivian’s Driver+ advanced driver assistance system allows for hands-free driving on select highways, but it wasn’t available on the roads we traveled, instead offering only adaptive cruise control with lane-keep assist. It’s odd that Rivian offer a hands-free driving mode but doesn’t offer the combination of adaptive cruise control and automatic lane-centering that systems like Ford’s BlueCruise have as a nice fallback half-step on highways that aren’t mapped for hands-free driving.
