It's clear the product is great. It's just a matter of if they can make the business work.

@jon4lakers Год назад

They gotta get costs way down.

@rampagepb Год назад

Yes I hope they stick around. One thought I had is why not drop the attempt at a charging network and just save the money. The RAN seems like a waste of time when so many other companies are way ahead of the game. I Would think it would make them focus on manufacturing.

@@jml9550 Lucid has a better chance to go the way of the DoDo. If anything Rivian now has a good product, and would get bought out. If not a US company, a Chinese company. That is if WW3 does not break out before that.

I get stopped a few times a day in my R1T. People LOVE it. Oh yeah, me too. It's awesome. AWESOME. I had a Tesla S and this is just next level. I mean, the S was incredible and this is that same leap. BUY A RIVIAN, you won't regret it.

For the second row at 1:50 try pushing the bottom part of the seat far back to the position you want BEFORE locking the backrest back in place. This is usually how most SUVs work

John - I think that noise is the louvre that varies the amount of air coming in to cool the batteries. A service guy who was fixing a software issue in my truck noticed it and he lubricated it. That made is a lot quieter.

@ThomasTheTankEngine22 Год назад

I don't normally like plugs/sponsors in videos but man those mics are really good. Also, it's crazy to me how there are plenty of electric vehicles that are way better than Teslas (outside of the charging network), but Tesla still gets all the recognition. Rivian, Lucid, etc.

@PumpUptheJam81 Год назад

Tesla took charging infrastructure seriously while other automakers refused. This is why they are still leaders in the game. Same with being very proactive with software updates. Talk to any rivian owner who also has a Tesla and they will admit Tesla is still light years better in many aspects. I’m just glad we have more options than Tesla only!

@TroyMeekhof Год назад

Tesla seems to get the clout because they do everything damn near perfect. Sentry, DCFC pre-conditioning, display performance, regular updates, driving performance, keyless entry, mobile app features, efficiency, delivery experience, autopilot, phantom drain, charging network, route planning. Rivian, Lucid, etc can do *many* of these things extremely well, but not all. It's a pick and choose for most EVs (and new cars in general)

@1AdamDaily Год назад

That noise in the front is the active air shutter actuator. If you look though the grill on right hand side you will see it move as you approach vehicle. It just needs a simple spray lubricant like super lubricant or something safe on plastic. Easy fix.

@SergPVS Год назад

Great vlog. It's interesting how most eclectic SUVs don't have default captain chairs. I'd say that most parents prefer captain chairs.

@lexwaldez 5 месяцев назад

Back when it was introduced I thought the front of the Rivian looked a little goofy, but seeing them drive around town now... it's grown on me. It looks kind of high tech/retro now. I can't believe I'm actually considering one, but I am. The wait for the R2 is going to seem like forever. Can't wait to see that. The 360 on the Lucid Air will spoil you.

@cleopatrajones2024 Год назад

I own some shares in this company and I really want this SUV but I have to wait for a used one in about two or three years. Right now I have an Audi e-tron and love it. The only problem with the Audi is it is very low on technology. It's just a luxury car that you plug up but it is solidly built.

@markcluff7104 7 месяцев назад

Great review. Ty

@raphymartinez Год назад

For the back seat, if you push the bottom section back first it should go to the previous position, then raise the backrest and it should also go back to where you had it set before. Most manual secos rows operate that way. And they all get messed up if you pull the backrest up first.

@jon4lakers Год назад

I’ll try that.

@ericfhernandez Год назад

Unfortunately that didn't work. It always defaults to the original position.

@Campwise05 Год назад

@kristian1457 Год назад

@jdpst20 6 месяцев назад

I used to have a 2017 Land Rover Discovery and this is almost a direct comparison size wise. I LOVED the Disco but after 90k miles I had an engine failure. I'm considering a 2016-18 Toyota Land Cruiser but will also have same issue with fuel consumption. I drive about 1500 miles a month about 18,000 miles a year and in a mouth I was dropping about 400$ in fuel. After an 8 year run it's about a $36,000 in fuel cost at only $3 a gallon. I really want one of these I think it will really fit the bill. My disco had air suspension and it made similar sounds when I first get going in the morning.

My wife and I own a tesla. She was running into issues quite often when she would walk up and her phone was not unlocking the car. I ran some experiments, and I found that if your wife, like mine, keeps her phone in a back pocket, then that causes issues with the walk up unlock feature. If you keep your phone in a front pocket, it should work most of the time

@ted.yang. Год назад

the creaking maybe coming from the louvers that are behind the grill and open and close to control air flow to a radiator behind it. my r1t started making a similar noise but i just sprayed some dry lube at the joint and it stopped the noise.

hows the ride and driving dynamics difference between the R1S and the R1T? a lot of YT and auto reviewers have said the R1S is more stiff and uncomfortable and doesnt feel as stable while driving. wondering what you think.

@clarkcolledge1148 Год назад

The driving dynamics of the R1S are not great. I had my R1S for a couple of weeks before getting rid of it due to the way it handled. As long as you are ok with it driving like a truck, you will be satisfied. If you are looking for an SUV with sporty handling (like an X5), you will not be happy.

Would you recommend a Rivian when I do not live near a Rivian dealer (SE USA)? That’s my concern for any major repairs in 1-5 years of ownership.

@b22chris Год назад

My advice, give them a few more years to build out. And actually see if they’ll make it long term. $80k+ is a lot to spend on something that you can’t get serviced and reliability is completely unknown because it’s so new. Unless you’re loaded and don’t care.

Spend another 20 grand for that no thank s. These are just for rich people.
