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.”

I would have expected a nautical theme from you on this one.
Damn it, you're right.

The legs/feet of the person in shorts support the idea this could be a faked photo.
Don't let the stern fool you! There's plenty of party under the waterline.

Typical EV drivers. Just re-volting!!!
For clarity, I was joking and simply wanted to a pun on everyone. So if the ?? left on my post was an agreement that EV drivers are bogus people, well ya kinda misunderstood my silly post.

Hi all, Google search on "Rivian crashes into house in Austin" yields nothing particularly like this photo.

It does yield a KXAN video, posted a month ago, of a black or dark grey SUV, shaped IMO more like a Suburban than an R1S, just before it crashed into an off-camera South Austin house.

My hypothesis is that we're all looking at fictional clickbait. Not that it couldn't have happened, but I can't find any evidence that it actually did happen.

Best to all!
Still not seeing anything. If anyone is near the crash maybe they can snap a pic of the damaged house to corroborate the story and disprove those of us doubting the legitimacy of the initial story.

Anyone can verify it with the towing company...

Austin? Never heard of it. Probably AI again.
