The R1T Launch Version is situated in Grand Rapids, Michigan and whereas the itemizing doesn’t present specifics about what sort of crash it was concerned in, photographs present that it needs to be repairable. In actual fact, evidently all the injury sustained to the truck is centered across the entrance fascia the place the bumper has been torn off. We are able to additionally see that the black entrance fender guards are additionally not current.

It seems that quite a lot of items of plastic trim from the underside of the Rivian have additionally been eliminated. Topic to this being the one injury, we see no cause why the truck can’t be repaired and put again onto the highway.

Nevertheless, there’s one caveat to that. IAAI says that the digital instrument cluster of the truck is inoperable so it’s unclear what number of miles it has underneath its belt. What’s extra, it isn’t identified if the cluster is inoperable as a result of the truck’s battery pack has been utterly drained or if it has sustained some sort of injury to the battery or different electrical methods. If it’s the latter, repairing it may show to be rather more difficult (and dear).
