I would have liked to see inboard brake rotors in the Rivian or Cybertruck, like what Bollinger did with their B1. Then they could probably enable use of almost any size wheel.The R1T with 835hp and over 900 ft lbs of torque runs 5 lug wheels and big 6 piston calipers up front. Rivian couldn’t design a wheel smaller than 20” for the truck because of brake caliper interference.
The fact that Tesla engineers went with 6-lug wheels tells me something. They are engineering the truck to handle enourmous amounts of HP and torque from the Quad electric motor drivetrain.
I can guarantee that Elon instructed his CT engineering team to beat GM’s 1,000 HP Hummer HP specification. He’s a competitive individual and wants the Cybertruck to be #1 in HP and torque numbers for its segment. The Quad Motor version is going to be a performance beast. I predict the Quad Motor will put out >1001 HP and beat the Hummer is 0-60 time.
