Rivian is teasing something sandy for February 19th.

The electric automaker posted a set of images on X, including one showing tire tracks on sandy grounds and another with desert land visible through an R1T gear tunnel. It could be a new Hard Sand drive mode to accompany the Soft Sand mode that’s been available since 2022. It could also be an additional trim for the R1T pickup.
