Watch a Rivian R1T Pull a 38,000-Pound Semi From the Snow
If you live somewhere that gets snow, you’ve likely seen all manner of motorists stranded in the shoulder during the winter months. Maybe, with a tow strap in your trunk and a trailer hitch on your bumper, you’ve even rescued a driver or two. But I doubt you, or anyone else, has managed what this Rivian driver did: Rescuing a full tractor trailer from the edge of a snowy Utah road.
Mylo Fowler, an R1T owner and off-road enthusiast, stumbled into a classic winter driving scene last week — two vehicles, both stranded in the snowy fields beside an open road. One vehicle, a sedan, was rescued by a Ram pickup. The other, a 38,000-pound trailer, was left to the Rivian to save.

That was awesome!! The power of ev torque is amazingly impressive.

Ev is fast in a straight away.
If an EV is trying to race your gas driven vehicle, just pull down your pants and moon them. Wrong category there buddy. If you EV tree hugger wants to race, go race with another nut hugger EV. Play at your own class. EV doesn't even roar. :2funny:

The thing is EV's torque are readily available on tap so no need to rev the motor up to a certain RPM to reach peak torque like on ICE vehicles, it's instant...
