There's absolutely no reason to pretend anything. The University of Nebraska-Lincoln’s Midwest Roadside Safety Facility should run a crash test using a 2022 Rivian R1T and a parked car or a vehicle in an intersection instead of a guide rail.
This just another example added to the long list of reasons why not to own an EV.
Of course. Let's worry about the safety of an 8,000-lb. pickup truck vs. a 5,000-lb. pickup truck ... when the heaviest vehicle motorists encounter on our roads without an overweight permit is an 80,000-lb. tractor-trailer combination truck. /sarcasm off/
That video is spot on. You're not going to see a standard Ford F150 go thru a guard rail then cement barriers like that. That's an $86,000, virtue signaling piece of crap that you certainly won't see on construction work sites.....
Show me the distance stats of an EV truck hauling a fifth wheel camper with an average weight of 13,000 lbs.
