What I think is crazy is that being the huge car guy that I am, and that these have been out for nearly 3 years. I have yet to see a single one on the road. But that will be changing soon, as I will be leasing one starting in 5 weeks.

This isn’t just an awesome video. This is an awesome tale
Thank you for sharing!

Hopefully Rivian is a total success.. Great looking vehicle.. The suspension is wicked..

Fairly certain I saw you the other day in NH! I love this color!

[dereks]

Really nice looking truck. Thanks for sharing!

Thank you for the in-depth commentary from a thorough set of use-cases.
This is a far cry (for me) from the non-test-drive-able version that I got to see in Nov 2021 (at Holley High Voltage at Sonoma Raceway)

Very nice overview! Got 6k miles on mine, looking forward to adding miles and memories.

I’d also appreciate a video overview on the driver assistance features like ACC, LDW, lane change assist, around view etc.

Glad you enjoyed it and owned up to the unexpectedly and unreasonably quick delivery. Seven months vs several years for most people.

Nice, well done video. Glad to hear you're still so positive about the R1. And that your friend purchased an S in the same color/wheel combination. Says a lot about how attractive the green/black combo is imo. I recently spotted a T with the same green/20 blacks pairing and was so blown away by how great it looked I changed my glacier white preorder to your config. Still considering how over-green the forest edge interior might pair, but that too seems to get largely positive reviews online. Thanks for the great review.

Thanks for the video, I will be dropping my 1 year 15K review soon. Same for me my mechanical cover works perfectly fine. :) I had a blast with my R1T as well. Been able to go places and take things otherwise I could not have.

You will have Tesla chargers soon. You need snow tires if it’s that bad. How much of the battery did you lose from the cold

[PieterDamsteegt]

That's cool, some challenges here and there but overall seems great.

We’re on our 4th tonneau cover and I probably use the bed once a month.

Rivian is Swiss Army Knife! nicely described! :)

If you haven’t already can you do a video on your CAN monitoring setup?

[TechScottBrown]

I’m interested in knowing how many can busses (and other networks) the vehicle uses and what kind of bus loading you’ve observed.

Ive been thinking about getting a rivian out here in central vermont, and I find a video about one I see on the road all the time! (Looks like im just a couple miles up the road) How does it do in mud season? My biggest worry is having such a heavy vehicle when the roads turn to mush and getting stuck...

Nice honest review! Curious how much mileage loss you see during winter months and anythings you've done to help minimize loss?

If you use it to haul ant loose material the hinge pockets fill with whatever you’re hauling and there’s no way to remove it.
