2022 Rivian R1T Review // The Cybertruck That Actually Exists
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 21 พ.ค. 2024
- The 2022 Rivian R1T ($90,000 CAD starting, $67,500 USD starting) is an EV pickup truck that’s been designed with adventure in mind. It has a quad motor powertrain - one electric motor per wheel - which helps propel the R1T to its claimed 0-60 mph time of 3 seconds. A number of different outdoorsy options can be selected as well, which make use of the abundant storage space. This includes a 3 person tent and a built-in camping kitchen. But how does it drive on the road? And is it as capable and functional as it appears? Thomas and James find out! We hope you enjoy the episode. SUBSCRIBE!

Loved the episode. My only comment would be, yes EV+luxury works and EV+Utility works. However, EV+affordability is the main problem here with adoption. 90k CAD is wild
Unlike Tesla and Ford and Chevy/GM/Hummer, Rivian's customers can get the $7500 federal tax credit.
Battery vehicles are just starting out, they’ll get much cheaper in the next decade and quicker than we may think.

@@mrpmj00 price tag is too high to qualify for the rebate in my province.
@@rivengle EVs are not new technology, and the prices have generally skyrocketed. People like you were saying the same thing when the Model S came out. Since then, the price has rinse over $10,000 for that car. EVs are getting MORE expensive, not cheaper.

Hey how u doing
Hey jason
eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
What is it with white 34 year old dudes suddenly getting really into rock climbing?
Man imagine this video coming out 2 weeks later after the insane price hikes from rivian
Dear Karston, I can’t say enough how much you smash the cinematography out of the park every single time. Amazing work
This one was actually a joint effort between Karston and our new contract editor D’Nyeal!

@@jamesengelsman9369 seems like some excellent recruitment!
@@jamesengelsman9369 salut to that commitment. get those sand everywhere
The production quality is like a documentary, you guys are the modern top gear!!
Better than the straight pipes that's for sure
Totally agree!
@@singular9 not exactly a high bar.😊
These guys and "The Story Till Now" are two of the best quality car channels on the internet.
Whoaaa bro don't go too far, but yea they are the best thing outside of the 3 gentlemen for England.
I really like that you can hear the motors spool up. It gives you a sense of acceleration and take away that eerie quietness
The best part was from 6:34 to 9:53, a perfect blend of entertainment, information... and best way of investigating a car :) Keep up the good work and keep us updating about EVs.
I am just amazed. Wow.
Top Gear and Grand Tour fanboy and your production quality and humor come pretty damn close.
Warmest greetings from Düsseldorf Germany
Hell yeah!! Thanks for the review. I'll never be able to afford it, but this is one of the few electric vehicles I am excited for.
Never say never!

Not with that attitude!!!
@@taylorgreen4180 look...if anything over 70,000 has been out of reach this long, just when will my time come!?
never could play in this arena til now, sow how do i????
Same! Maybe I can buy a used one in 2040. Haha
Love the catalog of clone music that gives you a glittery Hey Song intro.
One of the best vehicle review channels out there. Love the hilarious beginning jokes and the serious yet funny reviews. Please more extra throttle house!!!!
As a designer by profession I absolutely adore this thing, all the small and well thought out details just add up to something incredible. They really gave it everything with this truck and it shows. 10/10 and up there with the new Volvos in terms of clever design. Id buy one with zero hesitation
I don’t get it. Buy it to do what? Go camping? This wasn’t their best episode, just seemed all rather general about the vehicle.
As a person with eyeballs and hands, I feel completely let down by the interior design. 4/10
The front fascia is an absolute dealbreaker for me, no way I could look at that thing every day
(since Volvo does make class 8 trucks) It does kinda answer the "what if Volvo designed a small pickup" question.
It looks like crap, what are you talking about?
Great intro! Love the twist at the end of Intro after James came out from that chamber
Id say this is the best automotive channel on TH-cam right now
I enjoy your work... it's amazing how many reviews I find myself watching (and enjoying) from Throttle House about vehicles I have zero care about (including this one). Keep up the great work!
I’ve been a preorder holder for this car since Early 2019. To wait 3 years for a car is kinda crazy but I saw the potential early on. I’ve watched every video on the car and this review beats all of them. MKBHD, JerryRiggyEverything, and even Doug DeMuro. You guys absolutely crushed it and I love the beginning intro as always!
Because these guys are real car reviewers.
do you have the car yet? I've seen a couple on the road already.
No way Doug Demuros reviews are the best, I think these 2 are way behind on this one, but I still watched it 👍
You might want to take a look on Carwow, as well:)
@@janck1000 I've recently been watching Carwow, and their reviews are 'fun' much like Throttle House. But, I've been pretty excited for the new Escalade, and after watching Carwow's review, I was quite put off. The numbers they posted seem way off for a lot of the road tests. And, while I understand it's an "english" channel, having to make quips about the size of American SUV's every minute got rather old. I am sure, I was quite critical of that specific video, but as I said I have been watching nearly every review of this particular vehicle since before it released and it was odd. That made me wonder how many of their other videos I was less critical of may fall into that category. 0-60 and 1/4 mile times way higher than should be, brake performance tests done very loosely (60-0 test clearly shows him doing 65 mph before he hits the brakes, immediately followed up by criticism on poor stopping performance for example). Just made me think, maybe there's some bias at play. Which, imo, professional reviews should not include for obvious reasons.
I saw a Rrivian I my neighborhood in my really small town! I can't believe it I was so excited!
YES! I've been waiting and waiting for your guys' review ever since Doug got his hands on it. As usual, you guys knock it out of the park!
The intro looked so genuine initially that i checked to make sure its throttle house and not extra throttle house
Rivian has done such an amazing job with the R1t especially considering it is Rivian's first vehicle.
Exactly, the founder and ceo needs to be proud of himself
@Thor Odin son
That makes two of you
Only issue is the headlights. They should have been horizontal, not vertical.
@Thor Odin son hurr durr am only a REAL MAN with truk. gtfo with that shit
hence the tesla lawsuit exist ,alleging stolen proprietary items from x employees and the updated 4680 battery tech stolen also.
Always a good day when throttle house uploads
I laugh every single time James pings his head on the intro, never change that
Love to see this channel continue to grow. You guys deserve it! Quality content every time.
This is the first EV I've heard that actually sounds good and uniquely like a vehicle of the future. No bullshit pumped in motor sounds 👌
Tesla doesn't use augmented acceleration sounds.
Maybe he means the taycan
As an EV owner, I'm still getting used to the sounds that are forced by law when going at slow speeds that I wouldn't mind a fake engine sound instead as an option, but would want it to go away when above the speeds designated by law.
No. Ford lightning is whats the future. People hate change. So to keep a truck but make it electric will blow up. These kinds of EVs will fade out. That's just my opinion
@@tituslittle - Quality and durability will be the deciding factors on which ones last. I like the Lightning and the Mach-E, hope they pass the tests
I normally don't like blue on a vehicle, but that one looks really nice.
It's almost the first electric UTE.
Nice.
Let me guess, the only colors cars are allowed to be are black… white…. Or grey….
Boring.
@@nates3080 Agreed sir
You could have a whole channel of just the intros and I would smash that like button everytime. ♥️
Its like the perfect one person living space with the kitchen and the tent
Already seen a ton of R1T reviews, but when Throttle House upload, you leave everything and watch! 🔥
If Boulder Colorado had a truck for a mascot this would be the one.
As a coloradoan myself I concur. Young single outdoorsy person who has money (probably from their parents)
@@hofahome it's been 6 years since I have been there but yeah for whatever reason when I seen this review of the truck it just reminded me of Boulder.
James hitting his head on that i8 will never get old 😂
I always appreciate your production value. Great video. Whenever the Cybertruck eventually arrives I can't wait for your video on it! Cheers guys.
Production quality 300/10. Brilliant!
This has the cleanest, nicest dash out of ALL EV's out there right now in my opinion.
im really looking forward for the R1S the suv version of it
It's just like any other EV.. Extremely ugly.
Mercedes EQS with the hyperscreen has the best interior.
@@polardabear best interior but not best ui.
@@polardabear I mean i have no idea what led u to bealive that all EVs are the same considering we have a huge amount of diffrent EVs in todays market but whatever ! freedom of speech right?! lol
@@polardabear Merchdes' interior is the best, and that's all
Damn this car seems seriously impressive! They've really nailed the design imo as well, it looks unique and futuristic, without being ott and in your face. The feedback through the wheel is also a very nice change!
it's so relaxing hear natural sounds and be done away with invasive noise of gas engines. EV change is long overdue .
"And the curb weight of a rhinoceros."
Thomas out here fat-shaming rhinos.
😁😀😅😂🤣
like my 2017 Corvette C7, lighter vehicles could replace the chasis steel with aluminum, body panels with carbon fiber/composite.
solid state batteries are 1/4 the weight and size of lithium , triple the range and charges in 10 min but it's more expensive now...just give it time.
I've seen 6 different ones driving around the SF Bay Area and.... wow, I've never been more jealous of someone rich enough to buy one of these; they look phenomenal in person.
Exactly what my American friend says.
So happy to finally see you guys on the Smoking Tire Podcast. The whole team continues to make incredible content!
That intro is better a better Rivian commercial than any commercial Rivian is likely to ever produce.
Ok... what I like about you guys: you're fun, witty, but most importantly you reviews are about the things I'd both notice about a car, and see it as you see it. The comparisons without fear, apparently, to other vehicles in the same class also help as well. I'd think, more than any other car reviewers, if I wanted an opinion on best car in a specific class, you'd be the go to. I would like a tad more about longevity/reliability for the established car makers, though.
It makes me so happy that they finally reviewed this truck
Another great video by the TH team and what an amazing truck! Good time to be an auto fanatic!
Fun to come back and watch this after your Cybertruck 500 mile review. I've had an R1T for about 6 months now and it's everything you suggested in the video, I love it. I think I would struggle to say the same in a CT.
Been interested in this truck ever since it was announced. The practicality plus tech is awesome. Just wish I could afford it. Great review as usual.
I feel the same. The green truck does it for me.
Yup! I would absolutely adore an EV!
My 300k mile v8 4runner makes vastly more economic sense to keep polluting e even when gas approaches $5-6 in a few years.
@@toddstephens4431 This truck produces more "pollution" in it's manufacturing than your truck over several years. Add in the "pollution" from charging the truck as well. It's not about the environment it's about making money.
Not practicality. There's a great TH-camr who has been testing the towing capacity on this thing. Drops down to 160 miles per charge with a 2k pound trailer.
@@RAZGR1Z Balances out after using it for a while, 3 years or so, which sounds long until you realize vehicles stay in operation for sometimes as much as 20 years
I have been looking at the Rivian since the first news... And I gotta say, I can't wait till we get it in Europe as well, it looks amazing.
Is it confirmed to the EU markets? I'd love one of these as a support vehicle for racing
@@georgeperalta936 Apparently there are plans for Europe "in the near-term". We'll just have to see how that translates to the real world.
At 7k pounds this will destroy all your roads and be banned from most cities
@@oogabooga72 You realise we already have vehicles much heavier than 7k pounds on our roads? And in our cities
@@georgeperalta936 🤣😂 yep you shouldn't have to explain it but I guess some people are just out to lunch.
James, I think I speak for most viewers when I say that your commitment to method acting is very much appreciated.
Love this video! Thanks for the review. And thank you for calling out the lack of CarPlay, it’s just not acceptable. Where was this filmed? Looks gorgeous!
Love the Rivian! I’m a truck guy, grew up in them and have driven them my whole life. I’d definitely be a buyer if it was cheaper
I'm definitely not a truck guy, but this truck looks amazing by the amount of utility it has!
Counterpoint: full size trucks from Ford, Toyota, Chevy/GMC are all starting around 50k for the most basic (before dealer markup) and are skyrocketing to 80k. I think Toyota's hybrid drivetrain is only available at 55-60k. Plus in the US this gets big tax credits. Trucks are expensive right now, giving this a great chance.
" if it was cheaper"
funny.
@@paulpellico3797 yes, cheaper. Some of us can’t afford that kind of price tag.
@@markcoopers1930 I completely agree! Those in the market should absolutely consider this, especially if they’re buying the higher trim levels.
Best car review channel out there. By far! Keep up the good work guys.
Fhe quality of your content is just getting better and better even better than some TV shows
Really enjoyed the video! Keep up the good work👍
Great content guys. Perfect blend of entertainment and education.
Hopefully Rivivan sells enough of these so they can manufacture an affordable vehicle. Can’t wait to see one of these on the road.
Freaking best part of Sundays!!!! I used to be a car guy before TH-cam was a thing. After having found these dudes and the guys over at Donut Media, I’m getting dangerously enamored with all modes of vehicularity.
Wonderful review. Truely the Top Gears of the modern era. Keep shining boys!
I can't say I love the exterior styling, and maybe not even the interior, but the R1T projects a sense of being incredibly thoughtfully designed, with every detail being perfectly integrated and having a genuine purpose. Even the badge font, and the yellow shoulders to the silver badging is just so nicely executed.
The front end is the worst part. The headlight treatment should be horizontal and a bit more truck-like, but instead it looks like a toy drawn up by a designer who has never owned a truck
I would prefer the interior have more physical controls for things like volume and climate control. I don't see why I should have to go into the touch screen to adjust where a vent is blowing.
Buy vehicle. Set vents where desired. Weld them into place.
Yeah that’s idiotic
@@BillyHarvey no
Yeah some things need to be tactile so you can use it while driving and not have to look at the screen. I'll never get a car without physical climate control dials at the bare min.
The dial on the steering wheel controls volume. The buttons on either side move tracks forward or backward.
Cool. Thanks for listening or at least having the same ideas. This is what I was looking for when I commented on the podcast. Really contemplating its brother R1S. Like James, I have been contemplating Ev down the line. R1S is currently top of the list based on features.
Yasss! I've been waiting for this review for what feels like years!
Another great review! Been waiting for this one. Thanks.
Heres hoping Rivian make it to Australia real soon!

Watching you guys is more like watching a funny show then watching a boring car review video on TH-cam . Keep it up guys 😂😂💪
“What a useful gear tunnel “. That opening scene of james popping out and that line is probably one of the funniest clips on TH-cam. Brilliant. The review of the “rt1” was amazing as well.
This is awesome! Me being not a fan of new ev cars you guys changed my mind. Definitely subing for future videos.
I started to laugh when Thomas got out of the car, cuz I knew something hilarious would happen next. You guys never disappoint XD
When I saw that you were in LA, I was hoping that you guys would come on TST with Matt and you actually did it. Love it
Title made me giggle, intro made me haha and the whole video is awesome. This IS the best car review channel.
Lifelong sports car enthusiast here. THIS RIVIAN is my dream vehicle. Wishing them major success
I saw one on the freeway last night, looks good in motion.
Great review guys. It sure looks well sorted for a new design. It’s good to see what can be done. I know electric trucks aren’t that practical yet if you want to tow any distance. It’ll be interesting to see where these types of designs go over the next 5 to 10 years.
th-cam.com/video/UTc4ZyWVFr0/w-d-xo.html 🤣🤣🤣
That's kind of what I like about this truck compared to the F-150 lighting, and the other coming electric trucks is this one doesn't really seem to be marketed towards people that would tow long distances. But you're right though, that is a big Achilles heel of ev trucks
@@spencerlorrigan what do you mean by “long distance”? It’s 100 miles to my camp (and I need to get back)
Thanks
Another great review gentlemen! I must say when looking at new vehicles the R1T appears to be the best engineered buy on the market today in my opinion.
I look forward to the beginning more than the car review 🤣🤣🤣 they are always great well done guys.
Great looking truck, inside and out. Looks like the same road you took the WRX on.
As per the Smoking Tire podcast, it is
The horsepower/torque/acceleration is insane and not needed by most. Hopefully one day they make a dual motor set up and bring the cost way down.
This is exactly the thing I am complaining about most electric cars. Why do they have to have 800+ hp and 800+ ft/lbs of torque, weight 2+ tons and cost an arm and a leg? There is no need for that. What I want from an ev car is 4 little 50-75 hp & 30-50 ft/lbs motors and a battery that will let me do 500+ km that can be bought at a regular price. That's what we all want.
For example, most Tesla owners never owned a car that had above 200hp and all of a sudden, they get themselves into a car that is way above their driving skills if they accidentaly floored it. High hp/torque e-car is NOT the way to go.
The Rivian could do it with half the hp and torque and 2000 lbs less.
@@Traumatree Agree 100%, but they are going for that wow factor. The boring versions are coming. We just have to wait a bit longer.
@@Traumatree Unlike Tesla and Ford and Chevy/GM/Hummer, Rivian's customers can get the $7500 federal tax credit.
@@Traumatree like my 2017 Corvette C7, lighter vehicles could replace the chasis steel with aluminum, body panels with carbon fiber/composite.

Too much is just enough
The curb weight of a rhinoceros…. Gawd this one liners make my day 😭
Amazing review, as always.
Very nice review! I work there and it is a pleasure to be apart of the rivian adventure and to ride in one of these beautiful vehicles. Both Truck and SUV. Cheers and enjoy 😁
Gran Turismo music. Hell yeah.
HELL FUCKING YES
After having driven a tesla model 3 for about a week recently, I'm pretty pretty much sold on EVs and this R1T has been growing on me since it was launched. Would be a massive upgrade from the ol Ridgeline!
“Massive” ’is the right word. Ridgeline is 4500 pounds, and this thing is >7000.
@@FuncleChuck as long as it's got some good breaks we should be good to go! At least it's no 9000lbs like the hummer!
Just know that there will be limitations in the cold or if you plan to tow with it, which I would only do for short distances. EVs are best if they can do everything that you can normally do within 2/3 of it's stated range and then charge at home when not using it.
Perfect opening to an episode
11:00 “there isn’t a slide-out gun rack…”. I personally can’t wait to see this idea come to fruition
Lol ah yes. Our obsession with guns never ends 😆
Never thought i'd be saying this about a pick-up but this is actually a cool car
It’s the perfect size, all the other trucks these days are needlessly huge.
A truck can never be to big
@@deer_man2676 It would be nice if it can fit in a garage.
Trucks are the perfect size for the majority of the buyers who are compensating for something.
I agree. The original Tundra was called 7/8ths and is a perfect sized truck.
My two kids and dogs disagree with this statement
Electrical engineering undergrad here. I’m trying sooo hard to intern at Rivian and I have some skills they look for but MAN is it hard to get some eyes on my resume lol. Love their product!
Best intro by far on any Rivian video.
that opening. lmfao. love you guys!
800hp, holy moly! when was the last time a brand’s first ever model was _this_ good?
Lucid
Not their first model. Maybe first truck but not model
It’s not that good! Stop geting distracted by numbers.
@@MrJoe1627 have you driven it?
But 7000 lbs. Its quick but that's a lot of weight. Maybe with regen braking it won't eat pads too bad, but id be nervous about emergency stops on the highway with that bulk
Love this truck and would buy it now if it was more affordable. Great review as always.
Nice review guys.
I think Rivian has done an excellent job on this truck. They seem embrace the idea the you don't have to reinvent the wheel, you improve the wheel. I certainly wish Rivian all the best and a long future. Currently well out of my price range, but with time these technologies trickle down to new more affordable generations of vehicles.
Spot on. So well said, Making something different is easy, making something better is difficult. They took the best elements of pickup truck design and added thoughtful modern flourishes that only EVs can offer
I would totally own one of these as a daily driver. Awesome!
Throwback to the RVF video, I like it
Still love the shirt you guys made, no complaints so far
Aww, I was really expecting Thomas to pull an unconscious James out of the gear tunnel and bury him.
A version of this car that is rugged and without unnecessary powered lids, caps or panels would be the sweet spot. What a cool video, another home run
Yes, a basic one that you can hose down inside
Be great for lamping rabbits at night, nice and quiet
Needs to be smooth for efficiency
I’m new to your channel. Keep these EV videos coming. I have watched 5 so far, all are very honest and visually easy to watch 👋 🇨🇦
I spend an unreasonable amount of time One-pedal driving in canyons in my EV too, the precision is really really satisfying
I do like RT1 better as a model name, but that would make the upcoming SUV the RS1 which would eventually be a problem with Audi. Maybe better would be TR/SR, especially because they could eventually have a race car with an SR71 designation.
The naming is RIVIAN 1 TRUCK / RIVIAN 1 SUV = R1-T/ R1-S
This has all the makings of a proper usable, EV SUV which in my opinion is just great. Wait for a few years when the battery tech improves and costs are lower and it's gonna be just perfect. Hopefully, just because it's a new entrant in the market, it doesn't get ignored and also they have enough manufacturing plants to make it go. Otherwise, great truck
You know whats funny? That 70s 80s box design works perfectly. its straight, its clear, and that's what makes this so attractive.
I love this truck! They’re showing up around my hometown so getting a good close up look 👀
Great truck, and a nother great video. I would love to own one of these. Thanks 👍♥️
Love your videos.
Thank you very much boys 👍
