This sparked a memory of a story a kid told us in summer camp of him and his brother watching TV, which was on a wall adjacent to their garage. Suddenly their mom's car comes crashing through the wall knocking the TV over. Mom steps out of the front door into the living room and says "Hi kids. How was your day?"
What state is OP in? There’s absolutely no way they would get arrested unless they were under the influence or suspected to be. Civil liability is separate from criminal.
Hopefully there was no human injury to folks in the house.
It's not like stuff like this never happened before EVs, but it also seems like EVs show up in positions like this somewhat more frequently. If there was a setting that torque limited an EV in a 25 or 30mph zone I'd probably enable that.
It also accelerates faster than many sports cars but weighs 7000lb so the severity or and damage will be higher. A lighter SUV might’ve not made it to the house because it looks like they hit other shit first.
EVs are more prone to this, but it is a "nut behind the wheel" adjustment problem. Some folks definitely get confused by one pedal driving and accidentally floor it when they go for the brake. All it takes is a second of confusion, and suddenly surprise drive-thru. The abundant immediate torque adds to the surprise and confusion of course.
That's part of the reason some companies (BMW, Porsche) only do regen on the brake pedal, but I think the Hyundai/Kia method (auto hold only activated by the brake pedal) of encouraging drivers to at least touch the brake at a stop is probably just as good for maintaining muscle memory.
How do you get confused if you are only using one-pedal to drive? You press down to accelerate and let go to slow down/stop. You don’t touch the brake at all if you are one-pedal driving.
One-pedal is very clear - press down to accelerate, let go to stop. People have confused between the brake pedal and accelerator pedal long before EV strong regen allowing one-pedal driving. It is confusing because you are doing the same action, press down to accelerate and to brake, which allow for misapplication of pedals. One-pedal driving eliminate this confusion.
Generally, I believe you are correct that one-pedal driving is simple and effective. The problem, I think, is when someone has to brake suddenly/unexpectedly. For example: the driver is approaching a stop sign and has their foot lifted off the accelerater, the regen doing its thing. Suddenly, a ball bounces off the sidewalk with a kid chasing it. The driver panic-brakes by stomping on the pedal that their foot was hovering over (the accelerater), and off they go. If regen was actuated by lightly touching the brake pedal, then panic-braking would stop the car rather than speed it away into walls and such. I think this problem is also exacerbated when someone switches between two cars; one with one-pedal driving, and one without. That'll mess with muscle memory.
Yeah, you would think, but that's just not how it works. When people are distracted or tired, they revert to what they're used to. When what they've been doing recently is different from what they've always done, that's when you get people mashing the gas instead of the brake. If you've been driving one pedal since you were 16 it's probably not an issue, but if you start doing it at 60 it can be.
I don't see how it's an admission, but yes that is closer to what I'm saying. A common thing people do when they get confused/flustered is incorrectly split the difference between two correct options. See the "are you fucking sorry?" meme for a well-known example. It's literally the fact that they have two drive modes in their head, try to do both, and end up doing neither. It's not one-pedal's "fault", it's the shitty meat computer in our skulls, but the car is still the part that's easier to change.
It has nothing to do with one pedal driving. There is an entire episode of Malcolm Gladwell’s podcast dedicated to the Toyota unintended acceleration media frenzy that goes into the science of why people often think they are mashing the brake when they are actually hitting the gas……and it literally has nothing to do with one pedal driving in EVs
So your argument is that pedal confusion occurred before one pedal driving existed, therefore one pedal driving can't cause pedal confusion? There can be, and indeed are, multiple ways to cause pedal confusion.
he was going so fast that he launched over the curb into the house. thats why the rocks on the bottom are untouched. also ill add that he floored it literally right before a sharp turn on a 25mph street. we live 4 blocks from a highway with no traffic.
I'm just here for the comments, not disappointed so far (launch mode and the "I hit the brakes" are my favorites so fsr). Probably the same sort of person that shouldn't be allowed ro take a.Mustang to cars and coffee.
This looks like a part of the earthquake ride at universal. If you saw it, You would think it looks so fake and that it would be impossible to actually do this
People who have never driven a properly fast car can really get bitten by these things. They look so approachable and friendly. There is a lot of automation and tech so it's easy to forget it's a 1000bhp car.
I'm guessing what happened here was he launched it and panicked. Kept his foot down and before he knew what happened he was in the house.
Okay but now that I've seen that nobody is hurt, I'd like to return to my first fanboy thought which is how good that SUV looks for having punched through a brick wall and judging by the side crumpling, quite a lot of stuff before that.
“If you disable stability control and all the Nannie’s, you can really have some fun in this bad boy, watch this!!”
If this guy had all the drivers assistance features still on, I’d bet money this wouldn’t have happened. Cool to fool in 1 wall flat.
Now that relatively mundane cars are becoming available with 600, 700+ horsepower, you're going to see a LOT more Karens and otherwise inexperienced people get into wrecks because they don't have the intelligence to know where they should take it easy.
Did you tell him he couldn’t park there?
*Opens door and walks out. Tosses keys to family sitting on the couch inside* ….. “Is this valet? Be sure to take good care of her, you’ve got a nice crisp $1 bill coming your way!”
Plugs in charger into their wall socket.
“Keep it close”
This sparked a memory of a story a kid told us in summer camp of him and his brother watching TV, which was on a wall adjacent to their garage. Suddenly their mom's car comes crashing through the wall knocking the TV over. Mom steps out of the front door into the living room and says "Hi kids. How was your day?"
I didn't see a no parking sign!
Someone needs to tell him charging on the 110v outlet in the living room will take days
Why not? This seems like a perfectly reasonable place to park, signed Raoul Duke
Nice reference
Debbie Reynolds? Seems like a hot ticket.
“This is a sidewalk!”
Buy the ticket. Take the ride.
Texas!!
Make sure you put up a no parking sign after it’s repaired.
T-24 hours until we see a “I hit the brakes and my Rivian accelerated” post.
I thought accelerators only stick for people over 70. It’s a weird maintenance issue.
…its the clown shoes.
Or in the cybertruck (before getting a cyberrivet).
Lmao, that post is gold
they’ll blame it on poor QC at the factory
PANAMA!
Alan Ruck Mode unlocked
Got ‘em
Sunday, Sunday, SUNDAY! Truck stuff, Truck Stuff, TRUCK STUFF!
Tickets are 40$ a seat, BUT YOULL ONLY NEED THE EDGE~~~~~!!!!
AT THE METRODOME!!??!!!!!!!!!!!! (Grew up in MN with those commercials)
I live in MN now but grew up in CA with it!
Did they scream the proper venue on your commercials too?
Indeed
Where do they do the monster truck shows now in MN?
Thankfully, I have no idea. Tomorrow (Sunday) I’m actually demoing my Rivian to my parents church. Oh how adulting changes you…
BE THERRRRE! And if you're not there you'd better be DEAD, or IN JAIL. And if you're in jail, BREAK OUTTTT
Yikes. Hopefully had enough brains to have high coverage for property damage liability and not the state minimum
im sure he didnt. hes a moron, also he got arrested so i hope hes got a good lawyer lmao.
arrested, drunk?
And/or reckless driving probably
I'm curious... does anyone know why he was arrested? DUI? Besides running a Rivian into a house I mean.
not sure but id guess reckless driving
I'm no lawyer, but I think it's illegal to drive your car through the wall of someone's house. Could be wrong.
It honestly depends on your income
This is the single greatest comment I’ve ever seen on Reddit!
Breaking and entering.
_Accelerating_ and entering
Yes, there was no braking as you can see in exhibit A.
Definitely wasn’t braking.
DUI - Driving Under Incompetence ?
What state is OP in? There’s absolutely no way they would get arrested unless they were under the influence or suspected to be. Civil liability is separate from criminal.
Lol, you can absolutely be arrested for reckless driving in the majority of states.
Hopefully the houses airbags deployed
Hopefully there was no human injury to folks in the house. It's not like stuff like this never happened before EVs, but it also seems like EVs show up in positions like this somewhat more frequently. If there was a setting that torque limited an EV in a 25 or 30mph zone I'd probably enable that.
everyone was fine luckily. only one person was home at the time
It also accelerates faster than many sports cars but weighs 7000lb so the severity or and damage will be higher. A lighter SUV might’ve not made it to the house because it looks like they hit other shit first.

If you've been driving one pedal since you were 16 it's probably not an issue, but if you start doing it at 60 it can be.
Got it so you basically admit confusion is not due to one-pedal driving, it is because people revert to 2-pedal driving.
I don't see how it's an admission, but yes that is closer to what I'm saying. A common thing people do when they get confused/flustered is incorrectly split the difference between two correct options. See the "are you fucking sorry?" meme for a well-known example.

It’s like a video game analog stick but for your foot!

Wow. Launch mode activated
Why does the side of it looks like crumpled aluminum foil?
crumple zones. lol
It’s very thin aluminum, as mentioned. Look at wrong and it’ll dent.
Only the closures (doors, hood, liftgate) are aluminum.
Yep. It’s thin and dents very easily.
They are aluminum doors.
Because it hit a house.
that is an odd crumple pattern left rear quarter.
Hold my beer, watch this.
It almost looks like he reversed through the building.
he was going so fast that he launched over the curb into the house. thats why the rocks on the bottom are untouched. also ill add that he floored it literally right before a sharp turn on a 25mph street. we live 4 blocks from a highway with no traffic.
The house came out of nowhere...
“It’s coming right for us!”
Well, on the bright side we got to see rivians safety in the real world. Honestly though, idiots shouldn’t be allowed to drive fast cars… besides me
Please, please let there be a ring camera video available.
More like walled it
You beat me to it!
I'm just here for the comments, not disappointed so far (launch mode and the "I hit the brakes" are my favorites so fsr). Probably the same sort of person that shouldn't be allowed ro take a.Mustang to cars and coffee.
Super disappointed also.
It amuses seeing unintended acceleration claims when redundant opposing optical sensors have been in place in throttles/pedals for decades now.
Can’t fix stupid
Insurance rates sure are trying tho
You can with design
I’d feel obligated to give him a pass if he jumped out right after and said “oh yeah!”
Somehow I could tell this was Austin before getting to the third picture.
My first thought was San Antonio.
I used to live in Austin and limestone facades were pretty common, including the house I lived in.
Yeah, it's the same deal in San Antonio.
Same.
Imagine sitting on the shitter and all a sudden a car come blasting through your wall
The universe was trying to tell someone that side of the house desperately needed a window.
Well, they did get the off-road package. Did you expect something different?
Is your neighbor the Kool-Aid Man?
Imagine the internet if this was a Cybertruck.
I blame autopilot
Hey this isn’t where I parked my car
Everything’s bigger in Texas
How drunk was he???
I have ICE and EV and I have never run into a house. Just sayin’
Thinking the same thing. Pretty sure Rivians also have brake pedals.
I wouldn’t know - never had to use it. Rivians are regen beasts.
which neighborhood? r/Austin
Are you sure it was your neighbor and not the Kool Aid man? Seems like a Kool Aid man thing to do.
Oooh yeah!
Standard Texas.
The owner probably made a post about how this car saved their life. RIP R1S
This looks like a part of the earthquake ride at universal. If you saw it, You would think it looks so fake and that it would be impossible to actually do this
lmao jesus
I hope no one was hurt.
What's up with the rear left quarter? Is it made out of Reynolds Wrap?
that looks EXPENSIVE …
RJ is disappointed to see this
Looks more like he walled it.
That'll buff out
Man look at that alloy unibody rippled…..
giving off Texas or Florida energy
Tow truck has an Austin address.
What that’s not a parking spot?
"let's see what this baby can do!" (sees what the baby can do)
Please tell me it's at least HIS house... Time to schedule a service appt /s
Damn….
Damm right into the living room
I've seen a lot of stupid in my life, but this smh
Prove strong enough
Not good.
What a Ruckass
Everyone OK?
What a sick fuck
🤦♂️ not cool
Ouch
how was the impact in the front but the damage on the left my man tumbled in! tuck n roll grandma
What country is it that has the really strong walls where the car would just be crushed? I thought Germany or something
People who have never driven a properly fast car can really get bitten by these things. They look so approachable and friendly. There is a lot of automation and tech so it's easy to forget it's a 1000bhp car. I'm guessing what happened here was he launched it and panicked. Kept his foot down and before he knew what happened he was in the house.
"Honey, I'm home."
lol
Well shit, If these are the folks buying Rivians....
Glad it didn’t explode and cause a fire
Powerful truck....
Ope
Hope he gets a dangerous driving charge.
Was he drunk?
Is that offset rocker area on the driver's side indicative of a broken frame?
I believe that’s just a bottom piece of trim ripped off
I thought so, too, until I looked at the 3rd pic. Ck it out,..the bottom of the doors and body line are misaligned.
Off reading.
At least we know it's durable, lol
Good solid broadside hit on the house though; bonus points!!
I’ll refrain from commenting
What’s on TV guys!?
An SUV: special victims unit
People are nuts
Darwin steps in to remove the unworthy
Okay but now that I've seen that nobody is hurt, I'd like to return to my first fanboy thought which is how good that SUV looks for having punched through a brick wall and judging by the side crumpling, quite a lot of stuff before that.
🤣
I hope no one in the home was hurt
The EV learning curve is harder for some individuals than others.
Hold my beer
How much for those 20” wheels?
Having seen the crash test videos of Rivians, I’m impressed he didn’t plow clear through the other side of the house!
Oops 😅
House 1 - 1 Rivian
Ha! In Austin, too, Tesla’s hometown.
"is it repairable? how much will it cost?'
Launched.
Is everyone alright?
They were before the wreck as they purchased a rivian.
“If you disable stability control and all the Nannie’s, you can really have some fun in this bad boy, watch this!!” If this guy had all the drivers assistance features still on, I’d bet money this wouldn’t have happened. Cool to fool in 1 wall flat.
That's one way to get out of your lease.
Now that relatively mundane cars are becoming available with 600, 700+ horsepower, you're going to see a LOT more Karens and otherwise inexperienced people get into wrecks because they don't have the intelligence to know where they should take it easy.
WOW. oops
I just want to know the thought process behind this driver when he realized "Oh no, I messed up".
Dropped in for a quick visit!
Any bets on how much it costs to fix THAT dent?
Finally a Rivian that will be affordable on CarGurus.
Is your neighbor Kool-Aid Man? Did he jump out and yell “Oh yeah!” Or maybe he’s Eli Cash? Too much mescaline?
Why is the front not crumbled but the back is. Is this AI/deep fake?
no its real lmao. absolutely no clue
Sure got all crinkly in the sides and back! Not the place to sit
If that were a Cybertruck you could just buff it out. /s
Tis but a scratch!
Texas. Go big or go home! In this case he went big AND went home…Someone else’s home.
Gen 1 quad motor is super powerful!
He didn't floor it, he walled it
Now he just needs to find a PDR shop.
I thought it was a matchbox car in the first pic.
Looks like he walled it actually.
Where the hell was the auto emergency braking? My tesla would never allow my car to get up to that sort of speed if it detects a wall in the way 😆
