Rivian R1T spins around own axis; has no turning radius

Rivian has released a video showing the tank turn feature available on the R1T electric pickup and the R1S electric SUV.

The video shows the electric SUV spinning around its own axis just like a tracked vehicle. The tank turn feature is possible as the vehicle has four independent electric motors, one for each wheel. This lets the vehicle spin around on the same spot.

According to reports, the feature is only available on loose surfaces like gravel and dirt as high grip surfaces may cause damage to the electric motors.
