Sure if you have torque vectoring that can produce torque in opposite directions on the same axle then it would work. But i haven't seen that done with one motor before, would be a very complicated to do that as you would have to somehow get the differential on that axle to spin in opposite directions whenever you want to tank steer, and then switch over to rotation in the same direction for normal driving.If you can spin one wheel at a time with vectoring you can totally do it, even more easily if you can angle both wheels against each other.
Theres a difference between torque vectoring on a differential (which ICE cars like Evo etc use) in compaison using two independent motors that each drive a wheel and do not have a differential at all.
Hence torque vectoring is possible on a single motor front axle with a torque vectoring differential, but it won't turn the wheels in opposite directions which you'll need for a tank turn Rivian style. Changing the steering angle would be more of a drift than a tank turn. I suppose you could try a 3 wheel tank turn, but then the car would pivot around the staionary wheel. Better than nothing I suppose.
