The R1T and R1S can already be ordered with the optional Performance motors for $5,000. An over-the-air software update will unlock the full performance credentials of base Dual Motor models. There's no word on when the update will be introduced. Rivian is planning to make R1T and R1S models fitted with its dual-motor powertrain even faster with an over-the-air software update.
5 seconds while the Performance version needs just 3.5 seconds. That means it’s almost as quick as the Quad Motor AWD powertrain that can send the R1T and R1S to 60 mph in 3.0 seconds flat. Rivian charges $5,000 for the Performance Pack for newly-ordered vehicles. The availability of this pack as an over-the-air-software update available after delivery means more R1T and R1S will slip under the $80,000 federal EV tax credit threshold.
