Tesla vs Rivian R1T all-electric pickup truck

[@2WO4]

Rivian makes an insanely quick truck. Shame the driver's reaction time is that of a 89 year old man. Also those are AT tires.

[@LivAnimated]

This. That driver has slow start reaction times.

[@Nate0524]

It's also not in sport mode and he's not using take off in sports mode either

[@GTheoMedia]

Exactly!!

Never thought I'd live long enough to see smooth, quiet, docile grocery getters do 11 second quarters without breaking a sweat or axles for that matter.

[@potatheadd]

Lgbt race 🎉

[@user-vp1sc7tt4m]

My 70 Buick GS was a docile grocery getter near that category and I never broke an axle. Still wish I had that vehicle. I don't know if it would have qualified in your smooth, docile category but it was my family daily driver with glass packs so it was quiet until you got on it. I love the sleeper EV's and hope I own one soon.

Man that 110-12 top speed limiter on the Rivian is killing quarter mile runs. Doesn't help you're doing this on AT tires.

[@chandleredwards]

Hopefully Rivian can offer a race setting with an override, as anytime over 110mph in a 7400# rocket is a massive power drain reeking of inefficiency and the smiles that come with. 😄

[@Thekidsinafrica14]

That’s because it’s built for drag

[@CbrF4i600cc]

​@chandleredwards they are limiting to speed of all cars

[@davidhenry2781]

Love how Rivian keeps up..Yet weighs 4000 lbs more than all of these cars. Love my R1T

[@BlackOmegaWorks]

and 2,000 lbs more than my third generation Tundra. 😆

[@jongebarowski5573]

​@@BlackOmegaWorks7100 lbs.

[@BlackOmegaWorks]

@@jongebarowski5573 yep the curb on my Tundra is 5100, hence 2,000lbs more than it. Biggest issue is the stopping distance, basically the same distance of any other truck when pulling a loaded trailer. lol

[@isaacnaedricktongohan4259]

For a Truck the Rivian R1T is a pretty quick vehicle👍

[@shelbyspapabear]

If only his reaction time was quick too lol

[@kasper7203]

We just watched him lose every race

[@squeekieballs5052]

indeed and a 9000lb truck

[@MatthewPack]

That Rivian driver's reaction time is pretty slow. Every one of those would be better contested if the driver was better. That mustang driver romped him off the line.

[@baseunknown]

What mustang lmao

[@superfisher4379]

​@@baseunknown Ahhh the truck raced a mustang in the second race. Anyway it seemed like the Corvette drivers reaction time was perfect.

Imagine a world of electric cars. You could have a drag strip next to a neighborhood and there would be nothing to complain about.

Lol that Rivian driver definitely having a hungover. He's not paying attention to the green light, especially in the last race it took him ages to press that pedal after the light went green.

[@Fr4nkSanchez]

1/4 mile really does not matter who start first? Is the time that matters

[@GTheoMedia]

@@Fr4nkSanchez Valid point there.

[@dezinetech1000]

Rivian still damn impressive. Probably just came back from grocery shopping and still can beat most things on the streets lol.

[@EvanBlack11]

He took the wrong exit out of the Walmart parking lot and ended up on a drag strip. Lol.

[@ba177ba18]

[@GuyFaulk]

The Rivian is on All-Terrain tires too!

[@boneman1982]

Yeah the all season 21"s should be better I think?

and 7000lbs

[@sunghw21]

rivian's design is so cute ... it looks like moon inspector

[@5037580756]

That was the quietest drag race ever

[@ohger1]

Well, the quietest 11 second pass drag race at least..

[@alexferrara9287]

With a different driver and different tires, the Rivian is quite a bit faster. That said, Rivian needs to increase the mph limiter to 140 mph.

[@VenezuelaNow]

Too funny once they suck everyone into owning EV they'll Govt mandate max speeds in zones, total control...

[@rumaabba8875]

D u d e , all electric truck (for non asphalt street use) are 1 hour full time off roads , and 4-5 hour b-tterai charge.. plus p0litical behind it for the civilians in the country whom invented electric machines trully bad klise. Need to be change entire rulers of u s a

[@Larimarc]

The essence of what EVs are good at: drag racing. What lies beyond those few seconds of excitement is far less impressive.

[@bluebikerathar]

A heavy all terrain truck vs mustang and corvette ? Try to race a model 3 permanence or model S plaid with track package for the mustan and corvette. And take a model X or hummer EV vs Rivian.

[@tatanation7091]

I agree that it was a good race but not a good comparison,

[@Manuel3525m]

Quit crying that’s a different story

[@maximusvonce1381]

How much was dark grey 5.0 making at wheel?

[@NL-uj2pw]

Corvette looked like they jumped.

[@lawncarenuts870]

The light disagrees with you! Watch the lights.

[@NL-uj2pw]

I am watching the lights... I think he jumped... realt close. Overall time though he smashed the Rivian. 😂

[@lawncarenuts870]

If he left early the light would be red not green. 1/100 faster isn't actually smashing him! This looks like they are bracket racing, meaning they pick a time at the beginning and have to stay as close as they can to it. The one at the end of the day who is closest to the time the posted in the morning morning wins. Rivian really consistent. 11.6 to 11.8

[@teds4063]

​@@lawncarenuts870 that Vette is sandbagging

Are you saying the green light would not show if he jumped? (I am not an avid drag race watcher, so pardon my ignorance.)

[@OttoThompsonReviews]

if the truck had a more reactive driver probably would have one at lease 1 to 2 more races

[@living4adrenaline]

model 3 base model or performance? Big difference

[@HenryBabcock]

This is almost certainly a Performance

[@living4adrenaline]

@@HenryBabcock Indeed. And the Rivian weights about 7150lbs, handles well isn't the suspension by Ohlins? Allegedly it will do a tank turn? I want one.

[@HenryBabcock]

@@living4adrenaline yeah I just got mine yesterday. Unfortunately they cancelled tank turn, the truck has no problem doing it technically but they didn't want people tearing up trails and roads.. kinda too bad but I get it. Anyway, amazing vehicle. Instantly feels like living in the future/present and everyone in ICE vehicles is living in some awful past. I think the suspension is made by Tenneco.

[@living4adrenaline]

@@HenryBabcock Very cool, was thinking of the Polestar 2 with Ohlins suspension, which I also want. Or maybe a model 3 performance. Love my tuned 2.0 TDI w/coilovers, the Rivian would be awesome though

[@HenryBabcock]

@@living4adrenaline nice, I'm coming from my 2003 GTI and 1998 Tacoma pickup. So it's quite a change.

[@jayjay7160]

The rivian ran 11.81 against the Tesla then 11.63 against the Corvette. So is he technically faster than the Tesla ? 🤔

[@HenryBabcock]

Basically a tie with Model 3 Performance.

[@jlv3x]

That Rivian driver has no business on a race track. I know drivers in their 80's that have a better reaction time.

One thing that sucks but I believe can be great but isn't perfected yet is electric cars no sound let alone amazing v8 v10 v12 inline 6 vr4s turbo spools supercharger whines. Though the prototype charger with the sound effects actually wasn't bad for a early base model first sound model. If they Can perfect the engine sounds and have them. Come on and off at exact times of rev downshift etc and be able to trade our v8 rumble to to big block built v8 rumble to blown lsx to turbocharged vr6 to 3.9l ferrari high rpm twin turbo v8 sounds v12 F1 car and each manufactur perfect each sound delivery of all there engines past present and cars modified with exhaust cams carbs etc. I think it may be a little corny but would be something every male would own and use lol.
