This is why rivian is known for best suvs and features! Truck is also amazing atleast top 2 in that category

Rivian with 10% of Tesla’s employees manages to overhaul their flagship models in two years, while Tesla hasn’t touched S or X for several years now. Kudos to Rivian.

Rivian makes the best looking vehicles in the truck and SUV space. To me they have a Volvo look to them.

I still don’t understand why all the electric cars are trying to go stupid fast instead of focusing on get a better range, plus it’s a family car and safety is the priority.

Owning an R1S it feels like they fixed most of the issues I had; tighter suspension with less noise, 12v issues, camera resolution, and offroad torque control - which is a little rough. Although its a bummer they shrunk the frunk, and made the large battery smaller - which is less of a deal now, but justifies the max pack size.

So sincere I love Tesla but the Design of the R1S makes me desire to buy one instead of a Model Y

Brian working for KBB? For a second, I thought this is Alex on Auto’s channel.

[spdcrzy]

Still waiting on the R3 and R3x! THAT'S what I need.

[guyman]

Now if my damn state would allow me to lease one.

[bikebudha]

The only "refresh" needed was A LOWER PRICE....

[NeedSpeedRC]

Go Seahawks! Love Rivian. I kinda like the nee aero wheel. Looks like an reto old school steel wheel.

[nopzzz]

Would have wanted one IF they had made it NACS already. Truck not being compatible with v2 superchargers means I have no fast charger in my area at all...

[urbanstrencan]

Best EV pickup just got better, R1T perfection

[victorvandyke]

Your drag run in the quad motor showed a speed of 120mph before you cut it off. My R1T Launch did a 11.5 but the top speed limiter kicked in 200 yards before the end! So my top speed was just 110 mph, even though my 21" Perelli's were rated higher, they just set the limiter on all 2022 trucks at 110 mph based on 20" off road tires!

[fredmeyer]

I just really love the look and feel of Rivian... definitely interested in the R2, maybe R2S.

[jonathonhibbard]

They look epic, just out of my price range.

[denault]

Did I see that correctly, a 410 mile range...how long to recharge?

[AdarshS]

That creepy background music reminds me of Dark on Netflix…strange choice for a car video

[johngorham]

Why would they keep the old port for these “refreshes”

[NBWDOUGHBOY]

If Rivian Added Massage Seats in the front, It would be damn near close to the perfect all around EV for me. They should make a dedicated "Luxury" Version that ditches the included Off Road accessories and adds more Comfort features. That is all I could ask for. Other than that its as close to perfect as I would want.
