Green/Good across the board. Though it looks like they have yet to do the updated side test on it. Should also apply to the R1S, but its page is sparse.

Edit: Curious as to why they didn't do the updated moderate overlap and side tests.


Edit [20221220]: Looks like we have our answer regarding the Average score for rear passenger as @markinarch was asking.

Did notice one yellow "A" for rear passenger head protection. Maybe there is an explanation/description somewhere that could better explain why it didn't receive the highest rating there.

Hits a steel reinforced bollard at speed and not so much as a hairline crack in the windshield or roof glass.

Just goes to show you how much force Kim Java's rear applied to the roof.

kinda painful to watch those Rivian's destroyed like that!

I call dibs on the battery!

Impressive especially considering the weight of the R1 platform.

I guess we can put the notion of the battery catching fire to a rest now.

Now we can put to rest the old rumors of it failing any of the tests, it all looks really good.

I guess Monroe knows what they are reviewing, when they did the frame tear down they talked about how the frame was designed to deflect the impact on the front corner offset crash. You can see that in action in the video.

Good to see the crash avoidance get superior ratings as well.

I was also very impressed by the deflection test. Sheared the wheel completely off but you can see that the force was well deflected from the driver. Very impressive.

It is a bit weird to see that much crumple in the front end before the frame starts deflecting, but we'll all get used to seeing that with frunks becoming a thing now. At least you don't have to worry about the engine getting pushed into the cab like happened when I totaled my F250.

This is great. Makes it better for more insurance companies to provide good coverage.
