In a recent development, Rivian has officially introduced the Performance Dual-Motor option for its all-electric R1T pickup, available for coupling with either the Large Pack or Max Pack battery versions.

This modification follows Rivian’s announcement in December 2022, wherein they declared the discontinuation of the quad-motor pairing with the Max Pack battery, their largest option. Instead, they pledged to develop a potent dual-motor configuration boasting comparable performance at a reduced cost.

The day has arrived, and the American electric vehicle manufacturer has divulged further specifics concerning the range projections for the various possible combinations.

Below is a compilation of all feasible R1T powertrain and battery amalgamations, along with their corresponding anticipated driving ranges, as stated on the company’s official website:

As illustrated in the video, the supreme driving range reaches 400 miles, exclusively available with the Max Pack battery and 21-inch wheels in both regular Dual-Motor and Performance Dual-Motor arrangements.

Pertaining to reservation holders who initially chose the R1T featuring the Quad-Motor and Max Pack combination, Rivian has disseminated emails advising them to reconfigure their vehicles, given that their initial selection is no longer accessible.

Following the modifications to their options, the electric vehicle producer asserts that affected reservation holders will experience price reductions, as specified:

Rivian maintains its intention to offer a Quad-Motor with augmented capabilities in the future, compatible with the Max Pack battery. The company will disclose pricing and supplementary details for this version closer to its launch, although they refrained from committing to a specific timeline.

Rivian’s in-house development team is responsible for creating both the Dual-Motor and Performance Dual-Motor drive units, with production commencing in February.
