Rivian R1S Braves The Rubicon Trail, First Production EV To Accomplish The Feat
The Rivian R1S has become the first production electric vehicle to complete the Rubicon Trail in California's Sierra Nevada mountain range.
it has more ground clearance than a jeep wrangler,,,Ouch!!
You know that low rider took some pretty heavy damage.
And I wonder how many times they took the bypass rather than the real trail because I know there's obstacles that truck could never get over.

so when you said "that low rider" you actually mean what exactly??It's not so much about ground clearance as it is suspension flex and travel.
The Rivian doesnt come close to a Rubicons travel or flex.
And it doesnt even come close to any Jeep as far as travel and flex goes.
I know damn good and well they took the bypass on most if not all of the difficult obstacles.
You don't know that. You weren't there. You are stubborn and hard headed, but that has absolutely zero influence on the truth of how much of the Rubicon this Rivian R1S did. That said, you don't need to prove to me anything about the Wrangler or the Rubicon with the dual lockers (although the Rivian is the same here, in some respects) I owned a TJ that i put a 4" Black Diamond suspension lift on myself, and I know it goes much farther than that regarding flex, and I am sure the Rivian can't match that. It wasn't designed to compete with that.I know damn good and well they took the bypass on most if not all of the difficult obstacles.

who said it did??I've been wheeling since 1998 and I've run a shitload of trails around the country.
And no the rivian doesnt have off road suspension.
who said it did??
would you say even if it took the bypass that it still did pretty good for a street vehicle??
did you watch the video??WTF?
If it isnt built for off roading on extreme trails it wont be able to run those trails.
There's obstacles on the Rubicon I know the Rivian wouldn't be able to cross.
did you watch the video??
Yes I watched the video and it was dragging ass on easy obstacles.
You need to watch some videos on real 4x4's running the Rubicon. There are highly modified jeeps and rock buggies that have a hard time on the Rubicon.

you just have to let go of the hate,, from what I saw it did as expected,,
my guess is it takes the best of the best to get through the whole thing without going to the by pass or rubbing a little paint,,
so you were there???Let go of the hate?
The thing is not capable of running the Rubicon without using most if not all of the by passes.
A guy took a stock FJ Cruiser through the Rubicon and didnt use any of the by passes unless he absolutely couldn't get through a tough obstacle.
By the end of the trail the thing was damn near totaled.
And the FJ is a far more capable off road vehicle than the Rivian.
Thats an easy obstacle.
Robby Layton took a 4 wheel drive limo up hells gate.
so you were there???
from what I saw I think it did pretty good for being what it is,, even if it took some or all of the bypasses,,
yeah it was probably in kansas,,Lets not claim it ran the Rubicon.
There's no way it could without using the bypasses.
