The Rivian R1T is the pickup, with a quad-motor setup that has no local parts supply at all, which is the part a general garage misses. Muscat is humid and sits on salt air; an hour inland at Nizwa the heat is dry; up on Jebel Akhdar it is cool enough to need a jacket. A pack driven over one weekend can see all three, and each of them stresses a different part of it.
We check it against all three, and cover quad-motor drive units, air suspension and over-the-air update handling outside the home market.
