Alyssa is a nice calm complement to Kyle's hyper talking.

I visited Huntington Beach, CA, yesterday - I saw an R1S making a U-turn, and let me tell you, it took off. All the windows were down, and 2 small kids were strapped in their seats. It was awesome to watch when the tires made the asphalt burn!

FYI, just got kneel mode updated. Only works in all purpose and Conserve. As soon as you set it to park, the vehicle lowers. You can disable the vehicle lowering from the steering wheel if necessary. You can enable or disable kneel mode in settings.
It's really seamless since you can barely feel the vehicle lowering or rising because it doesn't rise until you reach a certain mph.

Just want to say how much I've enjoyed the videos with you and Alyssa both....your concerns balance each other well.

Could you guys test to see if a piece of 4x8 plywood fits easily into the back between the wheel wells, similar to how the R1T

[briankrische]

Thank you for pointing out the situation with car seats. So many reviewers don't seem to notice or mention that, and it's kind of a dealbreaker when having young kids.

Kneel mode is great from the little that I used it. Shift to park and it drops from standard to low which is great for those of us who are vertically challenged.

[Eventurefamily]

You have a great point on the tilt of the second row for car seats. Our Enclave does the lift and tilt which means we don’t have to remove the seat which is critical with 3 kids.

Always fun to see how long Kyle is willing to let Alyssa talk before immediately interrupting her, sometimes he can't even take a breath first like at 9:30

[Bengy]

Only a week? Man Rivian needs to let you guys have it for at last a month so we can get all that good content

[mattbrew]

The R1S is the best EV on sale today IMO and thats the option of someone whos owned a model Y, driven multiple S& X and owns a Mach E and 10 Lightning Pros as part of my work fleet

[Lightsoutx]

Totally agree with Alyssa, the red looks super nice. Great video!

[RobStevens]

I really wanted an R1S (and the Fisker Ocean). The Mach-E we ordered is barely in our price range, the R1S is quite a way out of it now after the price hike and interest rate increases. Will be living vicariously through you this week!

Definitely would say as a reviewer you should get more on car seats. We change cars every 3-4years as I love SUVs. Our family consists of 6 people
but with in-laws and kids friends always joining us on adventurs it’s very important for me to know car seat conversions.

[dereks]

I like that you can close the lift gate with the tailgate down so you can stand on the tailgate to load items on top of the vehicle. If you just had a one piece lift gate it wouldn’t be possible.

[jeffreyneumann]

Can you try to get a highway range impact from a hitch-mounted bike rack (with bikes on it, preferably ;-)? That would be incredibly useful and something I've never seen anyone do (but really want to know).

[AllElectricFamily]

Bring it out to Nebraska so we can see it. :) Because I'm with Alyssa, I want it!

[hilbe]

Car seats in 2nd row AND 3rd row - achors are there on all 5 spots. I would love to see a video with car seats in various spots - rear facing tandem in 2nd/3rd row, 2 side-by-side in 60/40, etc. Can you get into the 3rd row if using 2 seats in the 2nd row in the 60 side? Lots of questions.

[pkerpaya]

That's quite an ambitious amount of content production for only one week. 😊. Can't wait for all those videos to watch! I've noticed that since I got my first EV in late 2020...I've become sort of a YouTube EV video junkie. 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣

I have, too, always said that the Rivian is the electric Range Rover. They may fall short in certain luxury amenities (but not by much), but the off-road capabilities and the luxury it does have seems to rival that of RR.
