Rivian R1T Refresh (Gen 2) Dethrones CyberBeast? 0-60 in 2.5s

[carsly]

You think the reported horsepower was reported lower on purpose? And idk what to make of their torque rating lol

The Plaid powertrain exists. 1,020hp and 1,050 lb-ft of torque available since 2021.

Not sure it matters. The new R1 quad doesn't exist yet and with Rivian hemorrhaging cash there is a chance it never exists. With the Rivian factory shutdown, which feels like it was longer than planned, this quarter the losses will be epic. They had 4-5 quarters of cash at the old burn rate, good chance they chewed through 2 quarters worth in three months which makes it dicey to get to the end of the year/into Q1 with working capital needs.

That's what the gas guys/tslaq said about Tesla not long ago

Most of his videos are sponsored now, hard to know what to believe from him

Stamps.com is really pushing the rivian nowadays.

Still waiting to see the RWD CT video…

I understand the ‘marketing’ side of things and the videos purpose.. but I wouldn’t put it past RIVIAN to NOT be able to make the Quad happen.

Questions is, do they need to? Tri-Motor is a middle-finger to Tesla. Quad available later makes more sense than Tesla delaying the RWD when it comes to cost..

I love this game.

It looks like this CB did 2.69 with AT tires here on a prepped surface, but no tire heating.
