    You guys thought about making portals for quad motor Rivians? Their Achilles' heel is lack of low end torque for crawling (due to the motors insufficient starting/stall torque). Portals/reduction could remedy this, even if not a large market a Rivian R1S with four motors and four portals would be a cool demo vehicle. Also while range would take a hit, portals could enable flat towing which currently isn’t possible with Rivians.
