I watched the whole thing. The Lightning won. Though this mainly had to do with the availability of the chargers and the ones in the Lightning made a choice that gave them the advantage. In their previous video they found the Lightning was more efficient. In this video they were also able to go faster at 2 specific points and pass Kyle in the Rivian. Some of that had to do with thermal management.

From what I’m seeing from Kyle’s and other out of spec videos on the rivian, it has major issues with thermal management when the truck is pushed hard and the external temps are high.

Yes, Rivian has already improved their charging and needs to improve their thermal management.

Oh and Kyle, I think in the previous video, took off too fast and his load shifted. So at one point he drives more cautiously to ensure it doesn't shift around more.
