That's amazing! What a capable vehicle. No doubt in my mind a Rivian will just cruise through hurricane seaon street flooding!

Wow. Credit to that guy and his belief in the Rivian marketing materials.

Kinda impressive the Rivian made it through that jackassery.

Not sure the Malibu running gear can say the same.

I can't help but wonder how many tweets/fb posts there are with a still photo of that saying something like "Stupid elektric 'truck' stuck in 2 feet of water...I'll keep my RAPTOR!" (from someone who probably doesn't have a raptor...or a driver's license.)

Did this MF just take its truck for a swim?! LOL. One of the benefits of a frunk with its seal line 3 foot above (Ford Power Frunk would most definitely have water intrusion).

Any idea of long term effects of submerging the truck like that? Don't think I'll be doing that with salt water :eek:

Thats alot of faith that nothing is under the water. Still liked watching though. Waiting for an ICE to try and match.

Agreed. And if it was a soft surface, what if the truck starts to dig in. A tow out would be tough.
