This is an exciting story to follow! Defender -> R1S seems like a natural progression

@AaronStarkLinux 5 месяцев назад

I know you want that Defender, don't lie to me Kyle :P

@petehelme7714 5 месяцев назад

interesting that they are Land Rover people and are getting a Rivian. I have a LR and just overall couldn't get psyched about the R1S after demoing it. Seems more like a sideways EV move from a premium 4Runner (don't hate me. :)). Glad they like it though, and the R1S will have more room than the Defender 110.

@AaronStarkLinux 5 месяцев назад

@@petehelme7714 Hopefully this will motivate Land Rover to make some good EVs soon.

@petehelme7714 5 месяцев назад

@@AaronStarkLinux JLR has several in the pipeline. the big Range Rover will be the first out the door, likely we will see it by the end of the year. I'm happy that they are going with 800v architecture from the get go.

@papadave9061 5 месяцев назад

Mom seems pretty chill. Will there be a followup once her R1S arrives?

@dianewallace6064 5 месяцев назад

Congratulations, Max's Mom.

@TH3mrBROWN 5 месяцев назад

The R1S is amazing! She won’t be disappointed!

@patrickgardner484 5 месяцев назад

If the standard battery is a software locked standard plus, and I can upgrade later, then I am ordering a standard range R1S this year. It would be a great deal

@stevevansak7324 5 месяцев назад

I just leased an IONIQ 5, but I do plan on pre-ordering an R2. I figure that will come out about the time my lease runs out. I'm a big Rivian fan, but the R1S was beyond my budget, plus it's quite large.

@mikeintampa250 5 месяцев назад

Smart mom! I had my 240v outlet installed outside and I use a level 2 portable charging cable to charge it, probably similar to what rivian included. When I am done, I just unplug and bring the charging cable inside. That way I don't have to deal with any potential garage door issues. But I see she's getting the Rivian wall charger so that's obviously going to be used. Great video!

@RSherm25 5 месяцев назад

Great video Max!

@dianewallace6064 5 месяцев назад

Great interview with Mom and Mom's neighbor, Ollie. So interesting. It's so awesome folks can use their NEMA or 120V outlets to charge their vehicles.

Thank You for All that you are doing for our Planet Earth.... Peace.. Shalom.. Salam.. Namaste 🙏🏻 😊 🌈 ✌ ☮ ❤

@James-wz5qo 5 месяцев назад

Good luck to your mom! I hope she loves it. I love my R1T. I think her choice of Limestone with the Ocean Coast she will really love. The Charging cable is 25 feet long so should easily be able to reach the 240 even if she drives face first into the garage on the left.

@JK4507 5 месяцев назад

Nice to meet your mom. And your neighbor.

@mitchellbarnow1709 5 месяцев назад

Your mom is so nice and so smart! Has she considered backing into the garage so that she would be closer to the NEMA 14-50 or would that not work because she wouldn’t be able to get to the outlet or she’d have to drive over the cord? It’s hard for me to see cars left out in the weather when there are nice two car garages, but it’s not my cars or my business either.

@pearldiver7 5 месяцев назад

Good decision, the R1S is a fantastic vehicle. I'm betting (based on my experience with mine) she'll love it.

@bleep86 5 месяцев назад

Yea, more Virginia Rivians! Welcome

@BensEcoAdvntr 5 месяцев назад

The cord should be long enough to reach the front of the vehicle from there

@whatcouldgowrong2231 5 месяцев назад

Your neighbor needs Undor. Under garbage door cable management. I’ve got the same color R1T. Good times.

Kewl to have input from your mom. Acorn doesn't fall far from the tree theory reinforced!

@dianewallace6064 5 месяцев назад

Your Mom will learn a lot and stay up on the new tech.

@Kailaniandkiara7165 5 месяцев назад

Max, It's great that your mom is moving to an EV. From watching the video, it appears as if the current 14-50 outlet has been there for quite a while, it may even be original from the house. THIS IS NOT SAFE. Residential "dryer" outlets are not appropriate for charging EV's. Please watch Tom's (Moloughney) new video on electrical issues. She will want to have a certified (and of course licensed electrician) EV-experenced installer change out that box for a commercial one before charging the Rivian, epecially given how slow it is and how long it potentially will charge (10hrs.+). Better safe than sorry. If it's a new outlet, ignore everything I just said. :) I hope she enjoys the new vehicle!

Can’t wait for this r2. Can’t afford the r1s but the r2 might be perfect. Dying for a Rivian

@dervonwilder9695 5 месяцев назад

See them more and more in DMV area

@Ed-jg3ud 5 месяцев назад

This video is exactly why I pulled my R1S reservation!! I live in a metro area of 1 million plus people but Rivian still doesn’t have a service center or dealer closer than 3 hours away. Not gonna buy new tech that will need service and have to ship it 3 hours away. Rivian- get with the program and expand your service center footprint already!!! #OmahaNE

@davidgiles9751 5 месяцев назад

I trust your Mom's electrician used a commercial grade NEMA 14-50r vs. a residential grade (e.g., Home Depot) receptacle... DON'T trust using a residential grade product!!!
