Have done some crash testing/presentations with my Day at Land Rover here are my comments:
-Driver Cabin at the both top and bottom have 0 Structural Impact, no deformation to the skateboard.
-Airbag Deployment was nominal and worked very well.
-Panel is Aluminum to absorb the impact very well.
-Door still seems relatively functional.
-Charge Cover did pop off.
-The test was probably A 30MPH side impact test

Looking forward to more crash test videos especially side overlap.

Even as a layman i noticed the lack of deformation of the doors. i was shocked the windows didn't break. Do you think these tests were internal Rivian only or in conjunction with the safety rating institutions?

They are likely internal tests because the ones done by IIHS and the like usually have placards with the year, make and model on the side of the car, and these don't show that.
