POV: First Week Delivering In Amazon's Electric Van; Rivian EDV 

I enjoyed this video but when you ate the enchilada or whatever it’s called u smacked ur lips together eat with your mouth shut it’s polite and quieter when u slap ur lips it’s triggering and loud

​@@NoteR6 can't believe ur triggered by his eating 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

​@@NoteR6 bro is getting triggered about someone eating imagine bro😂

@@NoteR6 i mean in person stuff like that annoys me but through a video where no one is around him? Calm your ass down. It isn't that deep. 😂

@@jmortiz477 it annoys me bc of the sound so I’ll mention it it doesn’t matter if it video or irl I’ll say what is going on my mind why hold it back

Theres videogames about this, from Star citizen to deathstranding

me when the truck is chill

@@Water_23_ kid named chill:

people be playing farm simulator. are monke brains find anything entertaining if it looks nice enough

​@@freshair9133bro calls people monke brains and can't fucking write💀💀💀

Sometimes I just stare at it making sure I'm still under. I feel like my grandma when I drive in Amazon vehicles.

@DJ Ness I have this same problem

I’m looking at geting a job at Amazon I’m 20 almost 21 are they strict about breaks and lunch and how fast do you have to go

@@maxo7919 yesterday was my second day let’s just say i finished after almost a 12 hour day. With only 1 break. No lunch. Gonna be a good check tho but yeah don’t expect a break and stuff until you get use to it

@@maxo7919 Depends on your DSP. some care some won't

The company is in deep financial trouble but I hope they make it out, they’re vehicles are indeed stellar

There’s a good chance they will be going bankrupt

​@@acquitz2208 doubt. They have a contract with Amazon to make these vans

@@IntensePeppers The van business side is very likely to survive; if all fails, Amazon will probably take them over. But the truck business IS in real trouble. Like all new car companies but one, they cannot get to a point where they produce and sell enough vehicles to cover the cost of running a car company fast enough.

@@IntensePeppers its more than a contract, Amazon is part owner of Rivian.

Its cheap and very good for everyday commute. I love evs

Delicious Brian 🧠

Such an amazon bot comment

@@madrx2 How

Charge them inside a building? Try that in the Netherlands, you’ll lose your fire insurance as a company

This

If it's like Tesla you can just push up on the shift lever to disengage the cruise control as well.

Does this vehicle have adaptive cruise control?

@@joppekim Yes.

It would be better if it had a limiter that stops it from accelerating over the limit unless you push the pedal down an extra inch. Or just gives you a bigger dead zone ("keep speed" zone) at 5 mph intervals.

appreciate it Chris! Sometimes the sign turns bright red and I get scared. noted

I keep it to 9 over and I’m always good

Hi, 👋 I have bad news and good news to share with you. The good news will however cover up the bad news and the bad news wouldn't matter after u hear the good news. The bad news is that we all are sinners and the punishment for all of our sins we must face after we die is unfortunately spending eternity in hell. BUT here's the good news: God still loves us soo much he sent Christ, his only Son, to take the punishment for all of our sins instead, by dying on the cross to save us from going to hell and so we can have eternal life with Christ and God in his kingdom that is full of happiness :) On the third day after Christ died, he rose back from the dead which proves he's God. So all we have to do to go to heaven is just accept Christ as our Savior and Lord because Christ died so we can go to heaven :) Our father God really loves us so much further than we can ever imagine and wants a relationship with us all as his friends and children :) God bless you and have a good day😁

That's false I would go above the speed limit by one mile and would get marked every time

@@josephahn1024 I have even better news . God does not exist , so no need to worry about going over the speed limit .

So was that in peak covid?

In my area it's exactly as you describe. Amazon has the worst reputation of them all. Their drivers are speeding all the time, running to doors just to throw the parcel into the backyard because there is no time for ringing the bell. Always in a rush, always stressed and bad payment. It seems like the guy in the video is a setup by Amazon to give the impression this would be a nice job. It is not. It's one of the worst actually.

​@@GrandTheftChris you fail to understand that amazon doesn't employ drivers, they are all contractors. Another company deals with them, so the experience varies a lot.

@@dxzts6614 I know that they use subcontractors. And that's part of the problem because that way they outsource responsibility. It's still a job at Amazon after all. They can easily work closely together with a contractor and do this.

@@GrandTheftChris tbh it’s really the DSP the one I work for is laid back and chill

es gibt rivian in deutschland???

@@chibaku9162 Schön wärs: Ich rede von den alten Iveco Kastenwägen. Hier und da gabs auch mal die neueren E-Ford's, aber dann auch nur für die Kollegen, die schon länger dabei sind.

@@zeerux9887 Die alten dinger gibts ja auch in amiland, aber die rivians werden halt stück für stpck die alten amazon laster ersetzen

@@zeerux9887 was ist mit den e autos der deutschen post?

@@Rasakson wow, da hast du halt ne seitentür, die auf knopfdruck aufgeht.. ist nicht ansatzweise so cool wie der rivian

you know something it's not as bad as people say i do it in the uk

hope all is good my guy

Where do you think those batteries come from that have to be changed out every 5-10 years? Where do you think the power to charge them comes from? How do you think they recycle those toxic batteries?

@@Unknown_Ooh the about the batteries you use in remotes for tv’s, your car, cell phone, iPad, or laptop there is no difference and they will keep being used. Don’t try to make an point because I don’t care batteries are the least of the issue.

@@pattycarljackson unlike those devices, car batteries cant be replaced as easily

@@YukariAkiyama And? Most maintenance on cars is not “easy” but it has to get done that’s simple. People get axels, transmissions and engines replaced it is what it is. Just because it isn’t easy don’t mean we shouldn’t do it.

@@pattycarljackson But my cellphone has a 3080mAh battery, meanwhile that van has 300 times the battery size of that. You cannot recycle a battery that big and we ain't prepared (not also the cobalt mines in Africa) to support the massive batteries that electric cars hold. This isn't possible nor good for the environment. Metal can be recycled, and for the most part, the entire car can be recycled. An electric car can be recycled too, but not the battery. That's the concern. Electric vehicles are a failure.

noted. I felt like you could go faster but now I know for sure

Master chef crusrs 95 moh too 155 moh faries kamghni v12

är det roligt då och vilket företag levererar du för? Har funderat ett tag på att försöka skaffa mig ett sånt här jobb, men har hört att det är väldigt stressigt.

​@@Challee😅😅

lol. Time to chill for a bit after watching JCS.

it's not

how can one be able to afford a tesla when being delivery driver

@@feuerherz007 You can drive whatever you want if you have decent credit and are willing to sign a contract promising to pay for it eventually. Most of these mfers driving "fancy" vehicles are going to be paying them off for the next 12 years.

LOL THAT RU-vid MONEY THATS HOW

its not often you find someone on youtube with the same icon. Cheers.

@@MattLong90 Cheers mate! nice!

Only actual use for these vans in the us would be for air drivers or in the uk. There’s been days I covered an airport run in the sprinter van and covered 400 miles in 1 trip, don’t know what the battery life is like on these vans but would be surprised if it’s 400+miles

​@@Mikker90 why did you leave if you don't mind me asking?

@@afranks8566 Sure you can ask 🙂I stopped driving for UPS, because our route planner guy increased our number of stops by an unrealistic amount. Some of us were driving for 14-16 hours. That schedule won't work when you have kids and a family that also want to see you from time to time. They fired the guy 3 months after i left.

If its all res then, Lightwork

depends on the route (others have 150-170) but this route usually sits around 130

I get between 60-190 stops 😂😂 the less stops the more driving you do

Actually Delivery Drivers have it pretty stressful most of the time. I dont know if its just for him, but some have a lot more stops and are super short on time, understaffed etc. Maybe its different cuz its in the US but where i live its not really a favourable job

@@nexus1999 Yea true, The video made it look very chill tho

@@sdfghsdg it definitely did, i wouldnt mind working there either if it always was like that, pay also not cool here tho. Maybe it also depends if u delivery for amazon directly or a company hired by them

@@nexus1999 In my area it's exactly as you describe. Amazon has the worst reputation of them all.

corporate propaganda

@@cooltwittertagthis lmao Amazon is super protective there’s no way this isn’t hq approved media

Only counts as one stop tho, so if you have 30 deliveries at a hub , that’s just 1 stop 😅 so it kinda ain’t worth having them on your route

@@j4mesgz true, but at least all i had to do was drag the bag in and dump a bunch of packages into the lockers, made things much quicker as i didnt have to figure out where to drop stuff off or find it in the bags

i'm surprised you managed to fit 400 packages into one van, I barely fit 250 in there. I'm surprised I didn't have to do some acrobatics to reach some packages.

@@TwinkieCakey haha it was pretty interesting. It normally took me 40 stops to actually have a walk way. I also would get some routes where 50-70 packages are going to like a college apartment. So sometimes hitting those first helped a lot.

@@pivotchocolate BRUH don't remind me of college apartments holy fucking shit hahaha my man that was the worst for me. Especially here in Frankfurt. I went once in there, I had atleast like 15 packages to deliver to a literal plethora of college buildings where they had like Building A Building B etc. I lost my shit trying to deliver those packages because for some dumbass reason their map shows Building A on one side but it's actually on completely other side or it's there but the door that let's you in the building is in a different place or near Building B door. Hated it hahaha

@@TwinkieCakey I learned for apartments and dorms and such the GPS is a suggested area XD

damn bro what are you on. we start the same time and I finish 7pm the earliest

I used to work at Amazon started delivering at 11am and I’d be back at the station by 6 with 200 stops sometimes a little earlier, one day I managed to hit 52 hr

it's a game changer. It's so nice in there

This is actually incorrect. "Regenerative braking" don't apply the disk brakes at all. Instead, the motor will act as a generator. When you start to let go of the accelerator, the BMS (battery monitoring system) will start charging the battery. For a generator, charging a battery is a load - the work needed to overcome this load is what slows the vehicle down. If you brake really hard, or you have turned regenerative braking off, *then* the disc brakes are applied like normal. In fact, it is a problem with electric vehicles that the disc brakes are used so seldomly that they tend to rust up much faster than with traditional vehicles. Therefore an advice with EVs is to occasionally turn off regen and brake hard a few times to wear off the rust and keep the brake pads clean.

Bruh, every package already assigned numbers to it

cause in this country we actually like freedom. not surprised hearing the EU wants to control your package delivery.

@@SphereOfStreaming imagine defending poor delivery standards with the lame excuse of freedom... Idk what impresses me the most from northamericans, the ignorance or the proudness of it lol. You can keep your freedom to yourselves, and while you are at it, keep an eye on your ridiculous package theft numbers or your Maine freedom situations lol

@@fns58 so having less restrictions = poor standards? Damn EU kids are brainwashed to the MAX 😭😭

From other videos like this, range is all accounted for the driver’s trip. They only need to charge end of day and should be ready for the next day drive.

@@niknokseyer well yea I would bet it would. Still would like to know numbers. Just interesting to know for future reference of any kind.

@@coreyverisario6570 it goes 150 miles. Not plenty

@@zaidmahbub9128 how is that bad if they don't drive more than 50 miles each day? Your just still thinking like an old guy.

@@zaidmahbub9128 more than enough for the average van route. these are last mile vehicles, not hub-to-hub ones.

Same

As of 2026 all vehicles will have this built in. Freedom will be over.

​@@LemonySnicket-EUCno lmao

should've stayed at Amazon 😂jkjk

Trust me a video won't show everything lmao Amazon sucks they find ways for us work harder than we should grouped stops are by far the worst thing ever only think I hate tbh

"Amazing company" lol.

@@toffeelatte6042 changed the way we all live and get supplies. That by definition is amazing.
