Rivian R1T Survives Hurricane Flood - Drives After 100 Yards Washout

The owner expected a total loss but was surprised when the door handles popped out, indicating the battery was still active. After starting the truck, it ran without any issues and has since been fast-charged and driven around town.

Rivian says its battery packs are designed with seals to prevent water intrusion. The company also monitors for water ingress through electrical isolation features. This allows the vehicle to cut power automatically if water is detected.

While the Rivian R1T survived this event, experts recommend getting any flooded vehicle checked by a mechanic due to potential hidden damage.
