We all need to buy the Quad Motor Gen 2 now. The new speed limit and HP makes a difference.

@RJ - We need a Pikes Peak edition R1S / R1T with a trade in loyalty program.

Just watched... looked like it was just cruising, until it hit those bumps at the end.

I am sorry but I had to vote that I would take a Porsche up the America's Mountain over Rivian.

This "coverage" by Mobil1 is a joke.

Yeah... I'd trade my R1S for only one car, that seems to get farther out of grasp every year. 1993/1994 Porsche RS America...

Sucks we gotta wait until 2025 for it to be available, i don't understand why, when the 2025 duals can be purchased now, and tri motor around the corner.

1000s of Youtube channels could put on a better stream than this.

Further development work and it allows a blast of new publicity in early 2025 when this comes out.

R3X is going to absolutely smash that Ionic 5N time in a few years.

 

[Brian-MS90D]

Are those faster times competing stock trucks? What were those vehicles?

Most impressive to me the production Ioniq 5 is 3k lbs lighter than the R1T and was only 4 seconds faster.

Second most impressive is the two modified Ioniq 5 entries are pretty much running production hardware for motors, battery, and cooling system.

Not surprising that a motor oil company would favor ICE vehicles
