So much more info than TFL (theirs is more pretty and entertaining but not what I'm after). Thank you for what you do

[Scott-smnm]

Kyle's personality in interacting with others is always so respectful when asking about what his driving options are. Clearly he knows the details and can communicate at a detailed level (14:08 - Dual-Motor First Drive On-Road).

[tazeat]

YES! Finally, I've been waiting for real drive commentary from someone who can actually feel and tell us what's going on and how the new drive trains stack up!

[KyleConner]

I'll be here in the comments section for the first 2 hours or so after this video goes live answering as many questions as I can because I wasn't able to get to everything in this video. Once you watch the full video, ask away! I suggest creating a brand new comment, rather than replying to this one, so that other viewers with the same questions can easily jump to the ones they're interested in.

I just purchased a dual performance T...and I just found this channel....LIFE IS GOOD!

[tega]

Thanks Kyle! When in doubt always dive deeper in detail IMO. I watch both your channel and Munro because of your dedication to discussing nerdy topics engineers are interested in. I also really enjoyed your exploded renders!

[theredmonkey]

Pretty excited for the dual motor. The quad is amazing but just overkill for me. Really exciting is their in-house motor built making it not that far off from the quad.

[blanemayeaux]

This is the video I've been waiting for. Now get one for a long term test and let's see just how much more real world efficiency you get, and let's see the real size of the battery pack!!

[stevenichols]

I’m excited for the dual motor for the fact that it’s a step in the right direction for Rivian economically. It’s a more sensible car should be either a manufacture and has a better chance of saving Rivian. The four motor is a fantastic tour de force, but it’s too expensive and they lose too much money. This was the car they needed to make to survive.

[michaellafave]

Can't go too much nerd for me. I can always tune out but it's nice to have a resource with deep understanding and extensive details. Keep it up!

[fpartidafpartida]

I wonder if Kyle would like a locking differential? 🤔 It just wasn’t clear in the video if that’s something he would like to see added.

[Teslavangelist]

thank you for mentioning diff lockers multiple times during the off road session! really want a feature like it for the quad

[Willibopper]

I can't wait for some proper CO testing with the dual motor. I'll be putting mine to use when I get it.
As always, super appreciate the nerd level of detail. Love the deep dives.

[TheOGQuantumGamer]

Love it! Been waiting for this to drop!!

Thanks Kyle!!

[barrakuta]

I'd definitely would be interested seeing a range test for the max pack of both r1t and r1s. Admittedly, the $10k increase from the large pack doesn't seem worth it unless you want the most range no matter what.

[adamd]

Fantastic level of info and tech insight. Love learning more about the vehicles and my own quad motor from watching your videos.

[simonthebroken]

From one big fat nerd to another...
Thank you!

[Chris-jtxg]

If max pack is a chemistry difference that’s great- less weight than adding modules and no interior space lost! Cool way to do it, more efficient.

[joney]

Did you by chance talk to them about tire wear? I’ve heard those that drive a lot in conserve with their quad R1s have seen meaningful tire wear. Do you think that will be an issue with the dual motor since it is automatically FWD over 17mph?

[MikeTheBurnerTurner]

brilliant video, thanks for all the work you've been doing
