THE CYBERTRUCK CANNOT DO THIS!

EV Channels Review

The second-generation Rivian R1T receives a significant refresh, boasting a new Quad-Motor setup with an astounding 1,025 horsepower and 1,198 lb-ft of torque, capable of achieving 0-60 mph in as little as 2.73 seconds with three occupants. This performance positions it as a contender for the quickest production pickup truck, potentially surpassing the Tesla Cybertruck. Key upgrades include new oil-cooled motors, revised suspension, updated tires (Michelin Pilot Sport S5), and a revamped infotainment system with Unreal Engine graphics. While the exterior remains largely similar, the interior sees enhancements in luxury and user interface. The reviewer notes the driver-assist system, while functional for lane centering, is not as intuitive as GM's Super Cruise. Charging speed remains at 400-volt architecture with ~200-220 kW DC fast charging, a point of slight disappointment. Pricing starts at $69,900 for the dual-motor standard model, with the high-performance Quad-Motor variant expected to be around $99,900.
