We all know that that is an odd mixture — placing a luxurious compact sedan in opposition to a pickup truck in a drag racing problem. However however, it’s attention-grabbing too — two quiet electrical automobiles competing on a dragstrip in opposition to one another, and we get to discover Rivian’s potential.
YouTuber Branden Flasch purchased a Rivian R1T electrical pickup truck not too long ago and he took it on a drive to a dragstrip in North Carolina for a drag racing competitors in opposition to the Tesla Mannequin 3 Efficiency (video under).
On its solution to the dragstrip, we get to have a look at the middle touchscreen show of the Rivian in a little bit of element. The UI of Rivian’s heart show is kind of just like Tesla’s UI. Many of the association of icons and controls on the backside don’t look unfamiliar.

Earlier than looking on the Tesla Mannequin 3 Efficiency vs. Rivian R1T drag racing problem, let’s go over a comparability of the 2 electrical automobiles’ specs.
Tesla Mannequin 3 Efficiency vs. Rivian R1T Journey specs comparability. (Sources: Producers, Automobile And Driver).
Though the ability and torque specs of the Rivian R1T are much better than the Tesla Mannequin 3 Efficiency’s, be aware its massive dimension and function — it’s 41.6% heavier as effectively.
Rivian doesn’t present 0–60 mph acceleration figures individually for the Twin and Quad-Motor variants. The Rivian R1T Quad Motor was used to race the Tesla Mannequin 3 Efficiency on this video, so we think about it’s 3.0 seconds. Nevertheless, now matter the way it launched in a number of makes an attempt with totally different modes (even Sport Mode), the R1T was not in a position to beat the Mannequin 3 Efficiency off the road.
The Tesla Mannequin 3 Efficiency was the clear winner on this drag racing competitors on account of a number of components, like power-to-weight ratio, dimension, and Tesla’s software program optimization. We can’t await the day when Tesla’s Cybertruck hits a dragstrip in opposition to the Rivian R1T and Ford F-150 Lightning, its true rivals.
Let’s watch the video, and tell us your ideas within the feedback part under.
