I just came across this video on TikTok of an R1T pulling a semi out of a snowy ditch. This is absolutely crazy.





Update:

I did some digging and found the rivian owner. He posted this video. It says the semi weighed 38,000 lbs.

Meh. It’s not even close to infinite mass.

That last YT video posted by both @ranieri and @DuoRivians of the tow out is bad azz.

Could use a bit more tension management before blasting the throttle and rubber, but otherwise, well done on rescuing a big rig completely off the road.

What recovery strap do you have?

Mylo Fowler is a legend. Best Rivian and Factor 55 commercial ever!

I wonder what the power use curve looks like, or how much energy it took to free the semi?

Great to see the Dodge Ram truck help the sedan while wanting no part of the semi. Telling!!!
