Announcing our new "CLUBS" section where you can join or create a Rivian club or group! You can use this new feature to conveniently plan and discuss local events, gatherings or other club/group related topics.
So we encourage you to join (or start) special-interest and regional-based Rivian clubs at: https://www.rivianforums.com/forum/group-categories/clubs-groups.1/
The standard measurement starts when the car crosses a laser/trigger/button that is placed slightly in front of the car. It is just done that way because that was the only/best way of reliably starting the timer before the invention of high tech cameras that could detect the first micron of movement.3.66 seconds for 0-60. That's from a standstill on 20" AT's.
Apparently, the official way to measure this is from a rolling start at 1 or 2 mph. In a way that makes sense, as you're not measuring static friction but friction in motion, and you're not having to overcome the inertia of zero movement.
I didn't see what the SOC was he ran it at, but that's always a question with EVs.3.66 seconds for 0-60. That's from a standstill on 20" AT's.

I liked some of the camera angles in this video. The speaker brought some interesting insights, but his British humor was lost on me most of the time.
Over all, nice video. Anything to get more info on the R1T!
BTW, in the end he says it's a great truck that should be an immediate buy.
I love the internet! Thanks for this background. ??The standard measurement starts when the car crosses a laser/trigger/button that is placed slightly in front of the car.

Back when the standard was established it was quite reasonable. Now, it is less so. The faster the car, the more that missing 1 foot messes with things. Taken to the extreme, try to measure a rocket by this standard and the 0-60 time would get a negative number.
The R1T is barely making it to consumers’ driveways and already posing on the gear tunnel door, or posing one’s kid or dog on that door, has become the “duck lips” of every R1T reviewer’s photo shoot.By the way, when did Rivian add that Gear Tunnel thingy? ?
I'm not tracking the negative value for a rocket. You're saying it's going 60 within a foot of the ground? That doesn't seem right...Back when the standard was established it was quite reasonable.

In the Bloomington-NormalThis is the second or third video where I noticed scratches on top of the pop out cup holders. Hope Rivian will address that. Major? No. Acceptable in a 80k vehicle? Shouldn't be.
None taken! I'd never do either of things! Of course, with no kids and no dogs that's an easy promise. Now, cats are a whole nuther story.... ???The R1T is barely making it to consumers’ driveways and already posing on the gear tunnel door, or posing one’s kid or dog on that door, has become the “duck lips” of every R1T reviewer’s photo shoot.
Please - no.
(P.S. - no offense intended, DuckTruck. ?)
Yes, I am saying that if you are already going 60MPH within the first foot, you would get a negative 0-60 time with a 1ft rollout measurement.I'm not tracking the negative value for a rocket. You're saying it's going 60 within a foot of the ground? That doesn't seem right...
Yeah, I was visualizing rockets like a space shuttle. I wasn't in a spot to do the math, but was mentally imagining those going off and they didn't seem to accelerate anywhere that quick.Yes, I am saying that if you are already going 60MPH within the first foot, you would get a negative 0-60 time with a 1ft rollout measurement.
It requires a bit over 100G of acceleration to do it. Obviously not going to happen in a rocket with human cargo (unless you don't mind destroying the cargo). But the HIBEX rocket accelerated at 400G, so yes, a rocket can get to 60 in the first foot.
