It sounds like a drone with the quad motors all ripping up to high RPM in an all-wheel drift too.

Interior quality is proper with the pricing of the vehicle. It’s a very nice place to be for trips and back seat occupants get a theatre view, being a tad higher than the front. The suspension deals with Vancouver Gas Town very well. It feels like you’re driving high but still with good body roll control so you don’t feel like dying if you come in too quick..

Yeah the hydraulic cross-linked suspension makes it defy physics. There's no way a 7000lb truck should be able to handle completely flat through a corner at the limit of traction and yet it does. And at the same time also bombs down an off-road trail with such compliance you'd think you'd barely left the tarmac. It's a far cry from my old FJ TT, which had tons of brake dive, jiggly chassis, head tossing: that's what you sign up for when you get a truck. But not with a Rivian
