We’ve previously featured [bithead942]’s build of this R2’s controller, check it out! Here’s another helpful R2 unit watching your back where you might not expect it.

Earlier this month, he posted a picture of the R2’s highly efficient Maximum drive unit. The new unit uses continuous winding in the stator to reduce the total welds per stator assembly from 264 ...

Rivian accelerated the R2 development pace ... revealed some manufacturing optimizations baked into the Maximus drive unit. Among them are the continuous windings in the stator and the integrated ...

The Maximus motors also use two bearings instead of four per Enduro drive unit. The rotor shaft integrates the gear crown into a single forged part, simplifying manufacturing. While the R2 is ...
