> the usual setup in electric cars

*The usual setup for luxury/performance electric cars.

Most of the lower end is FWD. The lowest end is all front wheel drive, since they're built on FWD ICE/hybrid chassis, with electric motors put where the ICE used to be. For example, the traction control light in my Fiat 500e rarely turns off. ;)

The rivian has individual-wheel drive (4 motors)
With a starting price of $67k (a few grand less than 2023 BMW X6), and a 0-60 that's a couple hundred ms from a 2022 Lamborghini, I think that could be considered well into the higher end of the car world.

That's neat it's independent though. I imagine it has a hard time getting stuck, even though I doubt most use it outside the concrete jungle.
