Super Typhoon Helene Makes Landfall in North Carolina, Sweeping Away a Rivian R1T Pickup Truck Parked Near the Swannanoa River in Asheville.
As the storm subsided and the waters receded, the Rivian R1T was found over 160 km from its original location, caked in mud.
The owner, Mr. Joshua Vincent Sauer, prepared to contact his insurance company, but surprisingly, the doors of the vehicle could still be opened, indicating that the electric car’s battery was undamaged.
Mr. Sauer attempted to start the vehicle, and to his relief, it functioned normally. The R1T was then charged, and both man and machine returned to town safely.
The Rivian R1T’s resilience can be attributed to the company’s investment in special protective measures to safeguard their vehicles against natural disasters, including floods. Their battery packs are meticulously sealed and tested before installation.
Additionally, the vehicle is equipped with an insulation monitoring system and electronics that detect water intrusion and automatically cut off power if necessary.
While the Rivian R1T survived the ordeal, experts advise that it is prudent to have the vehicle inspected by professionals to mitigate any potential risks.
