Wow, that is truly surprising. I’d be more worried about the driver if I were Rivian? What stops someone from driving through a creek and submerging their truck? Damaging their undercarriage on a rock? Sliding into a tree? etc.

It looks like it doesn’t have locking differentials but that’s usually overkill.

I’ll need to read more about the “Off Road” drive modes. It sounds similar to the Tacoma’s “Crawl Control”.

An air compressor is nice but you can pick up a Tsunami Air Compressor and a tire deflator for like $130.
