The quad is good, but not great, off-road. A conventional ICE vehicle with lockers performs far better than a quad Rivian with its current software implementation. Individual motors sound great but if the software controlling them isn’t done right (like on the Rivian’s now) they suffer from issues with threshold to detect slip prior to limiting torque and balancing it across all four motors as each encounters different degrees of traction. Right now a wheel will slip, spin, cut the motor and then not allow a small application of power to continue moving so you end up powering over/through obstacles almost like you’d have to do with a 2wd truck by using momentum rather than finesse.
