Good to see we are marketing towards the carbon-conscious cartel crowd. :)

This might just be the first Rivian with run flat tires because it's what armoring companies typically add to builds like this.

Per the pictures above they are the OEM pirelli’s. Interested to know if they just added ballistic glass and possibly door panels and what they did to the under side to protect the battery. And where are the videos of them blasting one up? With a true certified armored they need to test their build. Like this.

I’m very familiar with land cruisers. A ~6k lb $90k (USD) 200 series goes to ~9500 lbs and ~$225-275k. So I’m guessing goes up by ~3500 lbs and $150-200k, probably the higher end of cost since this is the first.

Sounds like an effective way at preventing a coal roal attack.

Isn't that what the gear tunnel + gear shuttle is for? Remotely controlled of course for safety reasons.

Sounds like something that would be great to sync up with autopilot once all the moving parts are in.
We'll just need to program it to pick up on potential coal rollers :D

What happens if you toss a big ball bearing at one (two?) of the windows? 😫

Given the load limitations, they can't add much more than 1,300 lbs unless they do something dramatic to the suspension...voiding all warranties, for sure. I've looked at loading stickers for most tire configurations. Here's mine with off-road protection and spare:
Font Rectangle Signage Label Number


This is typical for all tires with a spare and off road undercladding. The theoretical limit is 1760 lbs. Never seen anything close to t Font Rectangle Signage Label Number
hat. Those cartel members better be skinny.

I can’t imagine they did much armor other than glass and possibly door panels to stay within the stock weight limits. When they armored trucks and also usually involves full suspension wheels tires,… To increase the gross vehicle weight capacity
