Rivian R1T Effortlessly Pulls Stuck Semi Truck Free

Electric vehicles can have a lot of pulling power and few pull as well as the quad-motor Rivian R1T. Its combined power output is 835 horsepower, while torque is rated at 908 lb-ft (1,231 Nm), and it looks like it was put to really good use helping out a stuck semi truck that could not move under its own power.

NotNearlyNormal posted the very low quality video on Reddit stating that it had been shot in Normal, Illinois on April 13. The R1T is actually manufactured in that town, so its presence on the scene is less surprising than it would be anywhere else - we’re more wondering how the truck got in that situation.
