R1T t-boned. Let’s see what it costs to repair hitting a light pole

[Alex D]

Today’s a sad day. I got my truck a year ago yesterday and today it died.

I was driving down a street and was t-boned by an oblivious driver and Sent sideways into a street light. No one was injured but man it’s A sad end to my truck. Thanks to gear guard the accident is well documented. And thank god the other driver had insurance because they’re going to need it.


so anyone want to guess on the repair costs? My guess is totaled.

Gosh im sorry, glad everyone in your vehicle is ok. Just by the looks of it and what ive read other people get into with repairs my guess would be a total as well, but pure speculation.. Did airbags deploy?

Figured that would of triggered the airbags. Good video of it I'm going with totalled as well.

That sucks man, it's almost certainly a total loss

Dashcam for the win! Best software push yet. Really sorry about your truck, if it's no written off, I'd wager 56k

Bummer, guess that drive cam came out just in time for you

Glad just property damage and people are fine.

Surprisingly no airbag deployment. I think that’s a testament to the pure safety and strength of this truck. I really felt almost nothing from the impact. That front crumple zone is no joke. It can really take a beating!

the real irony is I had just left the rivian service center. I went by to try and buy an extra key card. I guess it’s going right back! ?

Totaled. Good news is from those videos it's really nothing to figure out who is at fault. This is what happens when you pull into traffic and your view is obstructed by another vehicle. Shoulda waited for that jeep to go guy.

Not you the car that hit you to be clear.

So sorry man. Glad everyone was ok. I agree with others - totaled. The good news is that you can probably get a new one quickly at this point.

Wow! That looks like you hit the pole with some decent speed! Glad everyone is alright. These trucks can really take a hit. Very impressive.

Dashcam to the rescue. Did it automatically record it as an incident?

So many really bad drivers out there...happy that no one was seriously injured. Thanks for sharing the videos.

Wow that sucks, glad no one was hurt. Was that a Honda? #HondaBump

So watching the video, I'm a bit confused. The guy who runs into you is stopped at the crossstreet with the Jeep/trailer on his left...meaning he/she is in the right hand lane. Yet it looks, based on the travel of the vehicle that hit you like he/she was trying to make a left turn. Esentially, trying to whip around the Jeep/trailer to make a left? Is that what happened?

the driver stated she was trying to get out in traffic fair enough to see around the jeep (who was blocking the intersection view and really caused this issue. He was parked in the street. He also immediately took off after it happened without saying a word) but with the speed she went into me I don’t get it. It seems like she was going for it. I’m not sure if she was intending to go left or right.
