Video: Tesla Cybertruck takes on the Rivian R1T in an off-road drag race
845 horsepower Tesla takes on 835 horsepower Rivian in a battle of the EV pickups. Which will come out on top?
The Tesla Cybertruck doesn’t generate apathy – you either love it or loathe it.
But let’s put subjectivity aside, for an objective test: which is quickest in a drag race, the Cybertruck, or its nearest rival, the Rivian R1T?
