Those 2 vertical headlights should be dollar signs.😂😂

I bought a two bedroom townhouse, 2 car garage in gated community with pool and tennis court in Florida in 2016 for $130k 🙂🙃

[annierocks]

We absolutely love our R1S worth every dollar.

0:10 Ten seconds in and I can’t tell if Zack is gagging or gasping for air! 😂😂😂 Andrea has no compassion whatsoever! 😂 Great review guys! Thanks for the laughs!

[davidcarroll]

8:17 there is a release button for the gear tunnel right above on the top of the sidewall on each side, but totally blends in, so not obvious. 😀

[InstantLuc]

As a young Canadian, it's really inspiring see you how well you two work together. Marriage is tough but worth it!

The Rivian R1T is worth more than the selling price. It is an awesome vehicle that is basically 3 vehicles in one (off roader, sports car, and truck). This should not be compared to the Ford Lightning or any other pickup truck for that matter. This is an offroad adventure vehicle with a truck bed. I own one, I love it, and I have some reviews on my channel.

[frankkoos]

I enjoy watching your reviews from USA. Since Canadian drivers are more Winter driving concerned; it's interesting to see which vehicles you recommend. I also like the way Andrea dresses to match her test drive vehicle. I'm surprised one of the vehicle manufacturers haven't placed her in one of their commercials yet. It is also great to see how a couple agrees or disagrees on driving the same vehicle and whether they like the options or accessories the same or not. Thanks!

For those searching for any positive comment by Zack about EVs, he drops the first one at 6:15. I think there might be three in the video. Or two. He's right about the prices on this of course but geez.

[CMCNestT]

Rivan doesn't claim the R1T is a work truck. They say it is an adventure vehicle. Porsche that cost up to$300k is the plaything of the rich.

[mattabell]

I've been driving my R1T for 2 months now and absolutely adore it. Its the first truck I've owned and the versitility has come in handy so far in the short time of owning it. I like it more than my Tesla so far. Mine was a bargain at $76, 600 with destination and the $7, 500 tax refund.

[rogerthat]

It's pricey because they can sell at that price. No one NEEDS Lambos and 911s, but rich people have money to buy those and other practical cars.

[WesxxHAVOCxx]

I bought this truck for the speed and capability, so I appreciate that it is a toy. That is the use case for my personal use. The gear tunnel does work without going inside the cabin. It unlocks with the proximity and there is a button above it to release it.

[dgmcdnld]

I agree its expensive but they all are!. Look at the Plaid, Mercedes EQS Taycan, Lighting, Hummer. Most well over

[doziershaw]

0 to 60 in 3 seconds will have older drivers passing out from lack of blood flow to brain

[frumpd]

As a pre-price-hike preorder holder, I can buy the quad motor for $64K USD after tax credits. Nothing really competes at that price, though the Model Y price dropping is making it harder to justify.

[benwoodhouse]

I have this car too. No problems with gear tunnel. The brake regen took about 2 days to become an expert in, but I have to admit it was jarring at first. My complaints are with the lack of buttons and knobs, but that said it’s the best car I’ve ever owned. Also… I priced out the Tacoma, Bolt, and Miata GT and that came out to $130, 000 USD! Much more than the $95, 000 USD as tested price.

FWIW, when compared to a Tesla Model X it’s my opinion you get a whole lot more and a better looking vehicle (outside AND interior) for a lot less with the Rivian

[abhardwaj]

Your video drops right after work! Great timing

[gregp.]

Loved the comparison at the end on what 3 fully-loaded vehicles you can buy for one Rivian’s CAD 134k price!

[neiljoseph]

Giving us a breakdown of the three cars you can buy for the same money as the Rivian was an eye opener! Great review as always - thank you 🙏🏽
