The biggest range improvement falls just short of 10 percent over the quad-motor equipped vehicles car auto cars
rating of 321 miles . That means that going with the dual motor will increase the range by just under 10 percent. Of course, you’ll lose about 135 hp and some of the abilities inherent to quad-motor technology in the tradeoff. The same documents show that all three test vehicles were rated at 708 hp , whereas the quad motor R1S features a rating of 835 hp .
For those who really need the additional range, the extra power probably isn’t too tough to give up. 708 hp is nothing to sneeze at anyway and an extra ten-ish percent of range isn’t either. Commenters in the Rivian forum had split opinions on the revelation of the Dual Motor’s range. “ never said it would be significantly higher but I still expected a little bigger jump with the dual motor,” said one comment. “Is one of the conclusions that the new Enduro motors are not particularly efficient?” said another but not everyone was disappointed. Some specifically called out how 22-inch wheels pulling off 340 miles was a big win.
