In the future they'll look back at how insane we must've been to create 8 tiny explosions over and over again to generate torque.

Rivian front end looks like a cartoon character , I just can’t figure it out.
Some points , it moves out. It has over 800hp right ? Secondly for a cross between a mid size and full size , it weighs 7k lbs. Jesus. You guys see what gave the TRX the best run before this ? Andreys PB F150 that happens to be 4x4 bare bones XL.

I understand all the EV hate, but one thing that blows me away is....this is Rivians "standard" model, not a special edition. Every single R1T they produce will have this kind of acceleration.

And just when you think it couldn't get worse, GM out shits them self with their upcoming ev truck:

I agree the EV is hideous. I used to feel the same way about the Chevy, but my neighbor has one and they’re sharp! I could see it’s looks improving even more with a color matched grill, opposed to all the chrome.

In my opinion, there’s way too much chrome on newer trucks.

Race is around 6:15
Thanks. You saved me 6 minutes. LOL. Interesting races from that point. I knew the Rivian would top the TRX, but expected the Tesla vs. Rivian race to be much closer. The Rivian from the rear and sides looks nice. From the front, though, utterly horrible with those ridiculous vertical headlights. Visually it's like scratching fingernails on a chalkboard. :eek:
