It's a very large vehicle, almost in the class of a Hummer. The long wheelbase would make for a poor ramp over angle and the width would keep it off any narrow trails.
I would also be interested to know how the in-wheel electric motors impacts on unsprung weight and therefore suspension response.
I think electric drive is the way things are heading for all vehicles but fluid drive is another interesting option. (

Hmm...the truck or the SUV? The SUV is just fine. It will get everywhere but ultra-narrow trails not suitable for any 4dr. The wheelbase of the new Wrangler is only a couple inches shorter than this one's yet they found a way to improve the steering so as to have no issues on tight trails. And, yes, they have not had any issues (with that!).
Rivian claim an unbelievable 30 degree brake-over angle, but it makes sense if it comes with an adjustable suspension. Consider that most are around 20, except 2drs, with Land Rover alone being substantially better than 20.
What I worry about is that it is a start up company. And it just sounds a little bit too good to be true. I mean, a new loaded Rubicon Unlimited is easily 60,000. A Land Cruiser, far less capable than what this promises to be, is 90,000. A base model Land Rover Discovery, also not comparable to Rubicon or this model, is 70,000. Tesla cannot build a basic Model 3 for 35,000 (apparently the so-called 35,000 model costs them 38,000 to produce) yet. So maybe the 70k easily becomes 100k for the SUV.
EDIT: in terms of running costs, it should be about 5 times cheaper to charge than my 4Runner is to fuel. No oil changes, no differential and transfer case to worry about. But if the battery craps on you after like 7-8 years...I imagine it will be a 15-20,000 expense....This is by far the one big issue with electrics today.
