Hope everyone is safe!

It's amazing how much damage gets done to the other vehicle, how little damage ours look like they took, and yet how easily ours are totaled. I really hope this works out quickly for you.

So sorry Sam. Glad you are both okay. As awful as it is, if you’re going to get hit by another car a Rivian is a good place to be.

Glad everyone is ok. Bet they were on their mobile. I see so much of these now with mostly distracted drivers.

Looks to me like a strong steel bump step in the receiver would have minimized this damage.

So sorry to see that happen! I hope everyone was ok.

I know it's a difficult time, but we need to know: were you able to exit the back row without manual door handles or did the world explode?

First hope everyone is okay! With an impact like that, you need to get checked out by a doctor.

Second, do you have the video? Ya know we want to see it! I just got rear-ended in my T a couple weeks back and had only owned it for a few months. Mine is trivial compared to your accident but still a real pain. I did not know that I needed a separate media device to capture events like this. I saw GearGuard and other things recording so assumed it was all the same, similar to my Tesla, so I missed getting the person hitting me.

Feel better!
