Rivian dad's truck is slow

Those A/T tires make a difference. When the other guys went H2H with the Rivian and Hummer I think the Rivian was on 21s or 22s and it was in front of the Hummer the whole time.

The fact that Andre said the Hummer posted a 3.6 0-60 and it came off the line faster than the Rivian was pretty surprising.

The only surprising thing to me was how quick the ‘junk in the trunk‘ Hummer is off the line.

They should also do an 'impromptu trash talk at a stop light' drag race; how long do you need to wait for the hummer to go into wtf mode? ?

Motortrend claims they got 3.2s with the AT tires. Also pretty sure I had seen some other videos reporting the same/similar. He was likely just slow off the line due to human factors.

Looks like Car and Driver got 3.3s with the ATs and another MT test got 3.1s on the 21s

I know Tommy lurks here so I didn't want to call him out but....??

Not sure how you get a bad launch in a Rivian if you are doing the Launch Mode with foot on throttle and brake simultaneously since all you have to do is move your foot off the brake and hold on for dear life.

At the strip on 22's, I was pulling 1.77 60 foot times. Traction makes a big difference.

For sure I get that, I was just pointing out that the AT tires alone would not cause a >3.6s 0-60 time.

I'm looking forward to the R1T vs R1S drag ? I'd click on the bait.
