R1S impales house

[Brian-MS90D]

I feel bad for all involved if it's real. However, there have been a surge of similar fake photos making the rounds lately and posted with little context. LOTS of such images for Cybertrucks.

The house looks odd to me here. Where are all the studs, insulation, hanging wiring in that wall? The front floor overhang looks like weird perspective. The perspective thing could be from the camera lens though.

Someone needs to make a piece of software that can detect when images are real or not.

And @RivianDad can you provide some more context than just posting photo's?

This isn't the first Rivian through a building...

Just ask Alan Ruck...

There are now two threads centered around this photo.

I'm still waiting for evidence that this is a real incident.

Although I'm nowhere near certain, I think the odds favor this being AI-generated Reddit clickbait.

Best to all!

That looks fake the winked side does not took right the one part by the Rivian compass logo would be more dented not wrinkled

Google Alan Ruck Rivian. That was an r1T though . . .

Ruck's crash involved a smooth facade, which broke for about a foot or maybe 18" above the cab.

This photo shows a stone-textured facade, which broke way above the cab.

Definitely a different crash, if it represents a real crash at all.

I still think this particular photo is most likely AI-generated clickbait.

Just because there wasn’t a news article you could find doesn’t mean it’s fake. Not every accident gets reported on the news.

The rear of the vehicle must have hit something on approach before takeoff. And we don’t have a view of the right front which may hide more severe damage. Perhaps homes don’t cause much crumpling like hitting another vehicle head on. I don’t thing garages typically have chandeliers.

Let’s all thank this special individual for our next insurance premium renewal.

So, does it seem like the vehicle was inside the building, and drove out through that wall while in reverse? The back of the vehicle is damaged, but the front looks pretty good.

That makes sense to me.

Does this mean R1T drivers are better than S drivers?? ?

Ouch……Anyone here admitting to doing this? No further info on Reddit…..

Update: additional info from OP:

“he was going so fast that he launched over the curb into the house. thats why the rocks on the bottom are untouched. also ill add that he floored it literally right before a sharp turn on a 25mph street. we live 4 blocks from a highway with no traffic.”

Citations issued? Reckless driving is a misdemeanor in some states, maybe even Texas.

Idiots giving Rivian owners a bad rep. Hopefully no more like this

Sadly, there are idiots who drive everything from a stolen Kia to a Ferrari. They give good drivers a bad name. When they drive new, unique vehicles they give those vehicles a bad name as well.

Why doesn't someone just call the towing service and ask for details?
