Rivian just showed off an awesome feature on its R1T electric pickup which it calls “Tank Turn”  This feature allows the truck to do a full 360º turn without moving at all – the same way a tank turns.

The truck was able to pull off this zero-turn maneuver thanks to its quad-motor configuration — which allows each wheel to be driven independently.

Rivian says that both the R1T truck and R1S SUV will be capable of doing this awesome maneuver. Rivian has also trademarked the term “Tank Steer” and a similar term “Tank Turn“.
