@@GA-wq8xq Yes. I know. Note that I had two pre orders and have also been waiting a very long time, but I do feel very fortunate. This is one reason that I have decided to produce as much content as we can to share our information and experiences with others and hopefully encourage others to consider EVs.
Jimmy Chang! What a nice surprise to see you here and not on your EUC. I’m really looking forward to test-driving a Rivian when they’re out. Yes, I wish there were a handle on the A-pillar, too, but there’re still the grab handles above the doors. Much better than the handle-free Tesla.
Can't wait for my 2024 delivery now. I have been waiting for this kind of review from actual owners. Especially when you mentioned about you coming from Tesla which I currently have two of them now, your opinion was spot on to my assumption that R1S will be far more superior than the comparably priced Model Y(performance) for instance in terms of power, space, functionality, etc. Of course, model X Plaid might be faster and more luxurious. However, with prices taken into consideration between the two, R1S will be the best bang for your buck if you are one of those early days reservation holders. 4x Motors with 800+ HP for $75K? That's just insanely cheap! Thanks for your video. Just a reminder, I am also keeping an eye on upcoming SUV EVs from Kia and Hyundai. Should they arrive in the US market sooner than my RIVIAN order and priced cheaper with all the things compared, I will change. Until then, RIVIAN is King of the Hill for now.
Thanks Jimmy for getting us psyched for new electric cars! (that we can't afford, lol) What's the price range of the R1S ? Do they lease them or only finance? how much would a monthly payment be around?
Man Rivian really knocked it out the park with this one! Sadly, Tesla isn't interested in making functional changes anymore since people keep buying them despite the poor quality and horrible service experiences. I'm speaking from experience lol
@riviandad made a comment about the bouncy suspension compared to the R1T. Is this very noticable to the point of discomfort for the rear seat passengers?
I can’t wait for my R1S due this summer in Limestone just like this one. I have watched countless videos on the truck and in every video the carpet on the back of the second row always looked bunched up and isn’t lying flat. Can you comment on this? Is this something Rivian has acknowledged? Is it an issue when you try to slide in long items?
I'm concerned about the 3rd row leg room. You didn't really show it before you moved the 2nd row seat up so far that it couldn't be used. Could a 6 foot tall person have sufficient leg room to go 10-20 miles comfortably? Thanks
Until the Tesla Cybertruck comes out though these are all amazing products from *EVERYONE* at the moment that has the potential to truly dominate the entire US Auto industry. Right now ironically enough that wholesale domination is coming from Toyota which is hardly a surprise from anyone who has had to try and survive The Big 3 Years 1985-present of Ford, GM and Chrysler so I definitely understand and respect those embracing clean sheet work! Great coverage on the OneWheel disaster here and here only... something Doug Demuro simply is wholly clueless about as he is so many other matters not least *STILL* being Tesla. Investors in Rivian and Lucid have been absolutely annihilated since their respective IPOs whereas Tesla has made people absolutely gobsmacking rich despite the massive 2022 sell off indeed crash in point of fact. Long $ibm International Business Machines Strong buy. The future of pure BEV I think excepting Tesla still remains stand up scooters which have profoundly changed the US economy and for the better with still a lot of innovation and improvement going on there would be an understatement. In the meantime the Revenge of the ICE Platform now clearly well underway.
i mean its not as big or roomy as a tahoe cause its smaller than one. i agree, there are some things that i would prefer for the climate control to be manual and have buttons. some things where you have to go through 4 menus to control just shouldnt have to
Sounds and looks wonderful... then I looked up the price. Turns out you have to be a DR or lawyer or TH-cam personality to own one... Considering the complexity of an IC motor, my opinion is that electric vehicles are way over priced. One hopes they at least come with a decent warranty of 15 to 20 years.
Why would they? The us per capita is about 4.5% of the world's population yet our auto market consumes 22-25% of all vehicle sales annually. Plus the average selling price can support something like rivians existing price points. With the average middle class income will allow them to sell the r2 series vehicle's from 2025 easily. To get into India? They'd need a under 25k vehicle if not even cheaper. They will likely never make anything in that far down of a price bracket.
When are these non-Tesla EV manufacturers going to make a sedan? As someone with no intensions of having a family, I don't need something that can carry 7 people; just me, my SO, and the dogs. I'm waiting for further innovations in the low-profile EV space before I consider getting a car.
Great video! Thanks again for taking a drive and for the shout outs. Next step: 4x4 adventures together!! :)
100%
So you have two Rivians?
@@GA-wq8xq Yes. Testing them both to see how they fit into our family.
@@RivianDad very fortunate to have two while a lot of pre order holders have t even got one.

I would buy one but need to check if that will fit garage as I hate to park outside.
Once the price is more in my lane, I’ll be getting one!
Rivian best truck period.

What's the price range of the R1S ?
Do they lease them or only finance? how much would a monthly payment be around?
@Fred Flintstone 🤣🤣👍
I'm waiting for the Canoo EVs to come out, but I have a feeling I'll be waiting another year or two minimum, if they reach production at all :(
They look pretty sweet!
You going to be waiting foe years 😆 🤣 😂
@@itisim Oh I know lol
@@RDuude 😆

It's only shorter because the example of the R1S you have has street tires. If it had the all terrains, it would be the same size.

How do you like the Limestone after all these months?

Looks great, I actually have 1 in order, but I do not know how much it will cost me, How much was this one?
So nice damnit! ...Cant afford it. Lol Awesome videos man.
How do you like the ride of the 22” wheels? Any plans for a snow wheel package?

What color do you have on your R1T? Looks nice
El Cap Granite with a stealth wrap.
Nothing about this video but just put my down payment on the veteran Sherman S…first wheel…who’s with me😂
Congrats!
Isn’t the glovebox under the seat?
There is a small storage space under both front seats. Not quite a glove box though.
@@freshlycharged Ahhh, thanks! Then yeah a glove box is need
What color is the R1S?
Can't wait to get my reservation delivery in 2024 or 2025 or whatever they decide...
i mean its not as big or roomy as a tahoe cause its smaller than one. i agree, there are some things that i would prefer for the climate control to be manual and have buttons. some things where you have to go through 4 menus to control just shouldnt have to
No digital rear view camera? Smh

deal breaker!
When is this company coming to India 🇮🇳 ? One of the largest vehicle market in the World 🌎
I wish they would come to Mumbai

What’s keeping you from buying a Tesla?
@@dillonnoller Their propriety business model and some questionable cases of inflated pricing on maintenance, upgrades, and repair.
Meh. Good mileage. But too many wheels.
Hi
I heard they were junk trucks
