The Rivian R1T and R1S will not get “Tank Turn Mode”, CEO RJ Scaringe has confirmed. First shown on a prototype R1T back in 2019, engaging Tank Turn allowed for a 180 degree spin to be completed on the spot. Scaringe stated that the mode goes against Rivian’s environmental targets. Simply put, Rivian wants its customers to “tread lightly” and not damage off-road trails. Thoughts?

BMW has officially revealed the i5, it’s latest all-electric offering. The i5 will start at $67,795 in the US and will have a range of up to 295 miles in RWD eDrive40 guise (with 19” alloys). The entry-level eDrive40 produces 335 hp and can sprint from 0-60 mph in 5.7 seconds. A meaner M60 xDrive version will also be available, with AWD and 590 hp.

Meet Polestar’s latest vehicle, the 4. Following hot in the heels of the 3, the 4 is a coupe-style SUV that’s powered by a 94 kWh (net) battery pack with a WLTP range of 372 miles (or 350 miles if you opt for AWD). The 4 comes standard in single-motor guise which offers 272 hp and a 7.4 second 0-60 mph time. However, selecting dual-motor spec drastically improves performance: the AWD Polestar 4 generates 544 hp and can launch from 0-62 mph in just 3.8 seconds.

Official: Volkswagen ID.7⚡️🇩🇪 Meet the latest member of VW’s all-electric ID family, the ID.7 sedan. Set to go on sale in the US late next year, the ID.7 will be available with a choice of either a 77 kWh or 86 kWh battery pack. The latter has a range of up to 435 miles (WLTP). The ID.7 is capable of 200 kW fast charging and will initially be offered in RWD guise. Total power output is 282 hp with 0-60 mph taking just 5 seconds.

The fully electric Ford Explorer is the future of the Blue Oval’s European plans. Set to be built at the firm’s Cologne, Germany plant, the Explorer EV actually uses a chassis from VW. Ford received the MEB platform for its electric Explorer in exchange for helping Volkswagen with the second-gen Amarok pickup (which shares much in common with the Ranger underneath).

Meet the Ram 1500 REV, the latest mainstream all-electric pickup truck. Set to go into production in late 2024, the 1500 REV is a direct rival to the Ford F-150 Lightning, Chevy Silverado EV and GMC Sierra EV. Although specs have not been confirmed, Ram previously stated that it was targeting a range of up to 500 miles. Furthermore, the 1500 REV’s STLA Frame architecture can support battery packs between 159 kWh and 200 kWh in size. Thoughts?
