Dear Rivian, These are my 18 Biggest Gripes One Year Later. The Rivian R1T is a great electric truck, but there are a few things that are keeping it from being the greatest. I hope this feedback can find its way into future updates and versions of this amazing truck.

"Let me show you this hack"

Proceeds to steal electricity from a private campground. 😂😂❤

[Truth_Spoken]

Hack - steal electricity from RV parks, because they don’t have to pay for it 🙄

[kennethjoseph]

A lot of good points, thank you!! If you're not paying for a spot in that campground, you literally stealing power from them on camera. It isn't free to them so it shouldn't be free to you!

This is an EXCELLENT review that takes the time to explain the little issues that you only learn about after having a car for a while. We all know the Amazon reviews where someone literally just got it and there review is something like, "Fast shipping. I love it!" Good job.

Nice review but stop stealing electricity. I own an R1T. If you can afford the truck you can afford to pay for electricity.

The reason the world has become noisy and difficult to live in these days is because of shameless people who shout “free” and steal from others.
There's one more right here. Shame on you.
The magic of making a cool car look like trash in an instant.

[buzzkillgrc]

kinda funny you say that charging your car at an RV campsite is free, considering you typically have make and pay for reservations there. in short it's not free.. your just taking advantage.

Some thoughts -- a lot of nit picks / non-issues like tire wear from aggressive driving and wife not easily able to enter vehicle at high height setting (where the height issue is obviously solved by the adjustable height) -- like others have said, it's probably not okay to use the RV park electricity -- a lot of commenters here buying into FUD sold by fossil fuel industry; EVs are good for environment, but require moving to cleaner energy for maximum effect, and each will take decades to complete so starting now a good thing; both are already happening -- EV trucks lose like 50% range when towing, but so do gas trucks; this is an EV shortcoming because generally total range of an EV truck is only 300, where a towing gas truck will have a crazy range like 600+; this is a real issue that will remain unless battery production gets cheaper, but long distance towing is a niche use case so impact is low.

I also really don't appreciate you calling stealing power from an r.v. park free charging, alot of comments here about that already, but don't think it can be overstated how crappy it is stealing power for your 100k truck

[anthonysuarez]

Good review video. Unfortunately, now RV parks will probably start restricting EV charging.

[albundy]

"Thieves welcome" is my biggest grip with my R1T and is keeping me from getting an R1S for my wife/kids (because I know they will always leave it unlocked).

[taylorjohnson]

Charging at a RV park isn't a hack...thats theft!

[RobK-xx]

Great overview - thanks. "6000 some lbs, this is a huge vehicle" - It's actually 7, 068 lbs

[ettorenamias]

I learned absolutely nothing that isn't been reported on constantly. And two things, orange jeebus wears lifts so that's not his height. Second, pay for your own power. WTF for stealing electricity for your expensive truck. JFC

[dandial]

Love the channel. That said, let me test my understanding if what you said about your secret charging location. You sneak into an RV spot and charge for free? Seriously? You think that's OK? Someone has to pay for that. Nothing is free. That's stealing from whoever pays for that electricity. Thumbs down from me.

[keithjames]

I love my 2023 R1T. I’m not a complainer so I don’t have many gripes. My truck is not perfect but almost. Apple car play would be nice but I suspect money was the main reason why Rivian did there own thing

[texasbryan]

First time viewer of your channel and within 10 minutes realize that you steal electricity from an RV park! 😳

[MarineGrunt]

The cruise control doesn't work at 90mph ? Be sure to have someone mention that in your eulogy . That and your wonderful thoughts on stealing electricity .

[davidholubetz]

Hard to imagine anyone would stay a subscriber to this guy after watching him stealing electricity.

Turn off the auto lock feature and it won't lock on you "randomly" (as you put it). There's a default 2 minute time out. As for the software, do you really want your truck susceptible to over the air hacks? That if how you get over the air hacks. (when you allow known, vulnerable OS's access)
