    It’s more of a glide.

    I don't notice any real impact on handling, but then I drive it like a truck not darting around like in my car.

    Locked diffs won't do much for you in the sand. I don't know anyone that engages their lockers. I have an older suv with auto lockers and it didn't seem to do any better. I plan on air lockers for the tacoma fairly soon but for the mountains

    It’s going to be more of a sinking with those low profile tires and heavy weight. This is what deep sand looks like around here.

    The ability to always have power at all wheels is the advantage to an electric four motor system. A conventional locked drivetrain presents a lot of downfalls that outweigh the advantage of always having power at the wheel.

    Did you really think deep sand looks different somewhere else?

    It took Tesla 18 years to have a single profitable year. Even as recent as 2018 Tesla lost about 1.5 billion over the year.

    Rivian has Ford, Amazon, and Mercedes Benz invested. They aren't going anywhere.

    Didn’t Ford sell off a bunch of their Rivian stock causing the stock price to plummet?

    So you’re saying I have to know how to do math with an EV?

    Still my mantra... 'If you can't add or subtract, don't buy an EV'. Now we know why people hate EV's. Math.
