Rivian R1T has not been tested and safety rated by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, so like with most other trucks, we don’t actually know how it compares to other vehicles in the event of an accident. Weighing in at at over 7,000 pounds (3 tons), though, it does have mass on its side, which probably partly explains why it fared better than the (possibly Subaru Outback) crossover it crashed into in Alpharetta, Georgia yesterday.
