What appeals to me about 4 motors is how well it will move over rocks and loose dirt with 2 wheel in the air never missing a beat. Even something like a Rubicon with lockers front and rear and a locking transfer case won't be as good because that manner makes every wheel turn at exactly the same speed. This 4 motor system can adjust each wheel which means it can not only claw it's way up a ridiculous hillside it can also make turns while doing it without having to unlock the front. Also being able to pivot the truck on some of the narley switchbacks will make a big truck handle like a little Jeep or even better.

The Cybertruck vs Rivian off road comparisons will show why the Rivian costs more if it actually does come delivery time.
