Fun fact for any Twin Peaks fans in the comments: the off-road rally course is where the (now defunct) sawmill and (still there) sheriff’s station was filmed for the series.

I’d like to see Brian Cooley’s take on trendsetting vehicles like these Rivians.

Rivian's R1T and R1S Gen 2 are redefining adventure!

[vaughanpower]

Can it tow ? Are they optional for towbar?

How much cheaper would Rivian car would get if they were to include physical dashboards with basic dials, and replacing the glass roof with a normal solid roof? Also, how hard is it to get AC and volume physical controls in it?

I have a R1T and could only do a 11.5 second 1/4 mile! This is due to the ttop speed limiter kicking in 200 yards before the end of the 1/4.
I see you did 120 plus MPH in the run you did! Did they dis-engage the top speed limiter?

I plan on shopping for a Rivian R1T 5th generation by then they will have solid state batteries.

did they add apple car play & android auto ?

As if anyone in LA will go to offroad their 100, 000$ ev truck. lol

The bouncing with liftoff is really weird.

Still prefer the CT over this. Looks too common
