The Rivian can be appreciated by the consumer and an engineer... Nice to see some cutting edge suspension parts on an American automobile... American consumers seem to care more about cup holders and heated seats than the parts that move or stop the automobiles. Thank you Tesla and Rivian for excellent engineering..... American Cars may once again hold the title of best innovation and engineering of an automobile...
Why can't Rivian make its own aluminium suspension arms? The freight cost alone from China with shit marine diesel is worth another arm. How much of Rivian is Chinese? Dont they get it?
17:42 Toyota Land Cruiser has been using that type of suspension for over two decades already it’s called KDSS (kinetic dynamic suspension) super reliable.
Love the videos. Been watching since your first videos! I always cringe though at the jack-stands with the steel bars sticking out at eye level and everyone walking around them. You might consider a tennis ball or some other safety cover at the ends while filming. Thanks for all the great knowledge you impart!
Nice machine! The rear multilink arms in the dropped position (as it would be offroading) seem like they are a-beggin-for-a-breaking, and even more so with the hydraulic lines/motors. Still want one!
I think they are confusing casting lines for forging lines. Sand casting is often used for low production quantity especially for aluminum parts where various material states set in place by specific heating and processing tend to be more of a temporary state for forming/welding/shaping of the aluminum. Steel is drop forged to gain specific hardness and durability properties, which is preferable for wear surfaces. Aluminum is great for structure due to weight and ability to absorb and relax from vibration and impact (though it has limits and can microfracture). The crux is this, you can cast huge parts. Forging requires significant machinery usually 10+ times the size of the forged item to create so there are limitations to forging.
I think on the check on welds the blue dots are bad welds. Good examples can be seen @10:09 and @10:25. If you see some of the blue dots they are anomalies on the welds so they may be counting those as they do the QC.
Could you do some more coverage on the underbody protection for off-roading? What do you think of the standard package versus the reinforced underbody upgrade? Thanks!
Please bring the Rivian R1S to Europe, it's short enough to fit into Europe and has massive space and it looks awesome and seems to be a great alternative (wait there is none - haha) Maybe consider rear axle steering (but the packaging won't let it happen I think) And keep GVWR under 3500kg (i looked up and it should comply with that number) so we can drive it with standard driving license B in Europe And bring normal towing at least up to 2500kg and 150kg tongue weight without using weight distribution hitches!

Great job guys as usual! , talking about damaging the suspension, have you watched the long way up with Ewan McGregor when the rivian smashed a big rock and hit the lower suspension arm , at that time they had a hydraulic accumulator and that got damaged by the rock 😬🤷🏼♂️
@8:20 Good choice of sponsor. I own a lot of *_Anker_* products. They're my _go to_ brand when I need to actually _go_ somewhere. If only they made chargers (and maybe batteries) for mobility scooters. (Lead-acid chargers are so *_S-L-O-W._* )
Tilt of the wheel depends on the length difference of upper and lower control arms, not their length. Trailing arm geometry is very interesting - you would want these arms to be as long as possible for an off-roader, and as horizontal as possible. Now, every bump tries to move the wheel down, thus increasing perceived bump. And suspension compression moves front wheel to front - that restricts tire size, and tire rubbing when off-roading.
The R1 series has widespread unresolved issues with quickly worsening noise coming from the CV shafts during accel/decel cycling. Would be interested to hear Monroe's input on why, similar to the power tonneau.
5:30 Tesla Model X definitely suffers from suspension travel with the air suspension in that if you set it to very low to get better efficiency, you will have extreme uneven wear on the inner tread of your tires
Its because the change in ride height changes the geometry of the camber and toe. Pretty much all cars with long adjustable travel will have this problem. If you drive around mostly in a lowered ride height, you’re better off getting a realignment done at the height if tire wear is getting too uneven or replacing them prematurely
First time noticing the jack stand supports underneath hoist instead of vehicle which the latter would imply that if the hoist failed then the stands would "catch" the vehicle but the hoist/arms could still fall causing potential injury or death
I noticed that too. I used Greenshot and took pictures. The jack stands offer double protection. We have a lift in our detached workshop so I like the idea of extra safety.
The nice thing about big brake calipers, is that you only need brakes every 50,000 miles. Instead of the 25,000 the so many high dollar and market brands now get, from cutting corners.
The fact that it is electric means folks will hardly use their brakes. Some Tesla owners were reporteing their pads sticking to the caliper since they wouldn't use their brakes at all. You would see the pad and rotor rusting away and maybe even seized up.
@@thebros2866 lol…. This is a performance vehicle and when properly used the physical brakes are also very much in action unlike teslas rovers that drives like grandmas…
@Alan May Regardless for $100k, I don't think everyone will be taking it off-road. Not to mention Sandy Munro's team commented that air suspension reliability is questionable in this application. The vehicle got you into whatever situation off-road that only air suspension can only get you out of and if one corner gives out you might end up with an expensive tow. For all that said, I don't believe many will take them on as extreme adventures as advertised.
Does this car have any problems? It's their first year of production if I'm not mistaken, I really love the idea and want one. I'm only concerned about the reliability, resale value, etc ... Fisker a couple years ago went bust but it looks like they are in it recently to try again
Great informative video.. I read rivian has 2% vampire drain each day. Do you guys can make a video about that why it is happening and how to avoid vampire drain ?
Wouldn't surprise me. Our Tesla has a new function that show's standby "parked" drain and its gone through 4% in three days just sitting there. The other day it dropped 5% in three hours after a long drive...maybe battery cooling...though it was almost freezing temps out...
This is an amazing suspension but it has one major (IMHO) flaw: there are no bump stops. If you bottom the suspension even at a very low speed it can break the damper. (I have the pictures. 😂). And it is a very expensive repair. On the plus side, I drove 20 miles on a moderate trail with no dampers and it was just fine (aside from the software limiting it to 30 mph).
@@navithefairy aluminum does corrode otherwise the aluminum tanks and wheels on commercial trucks would always be shiny. That stuff underneath should be painted even though they moved away from the sides going to the back. Even clear paint like to trucks tanks and wheels on trucks.
Good point toward the end of the segment regarding the off-road vulnerability of the lines near the suspension components. Perhaps it's not really the off-road monster we thought...
@@alanmay7929 I think that the Land Cruiser is way more tucked though. If you scraped this over a rock, you would likely tear that component off. In the documentary "Long Way Up" this actually happened to a prototype vehicle.
The overdone brakes just seem to be a waste of money. Most of the braking effort should come from the regenerative braking. More integration in the castings would save them money, give more consistent results and simplify the assembly of the final vehicle. I would really like to see Rivian making money. These are great vehicles!
Lol….. this is not a crappy tesla with Camry brakes with fades after two performance applications… this car is made for people that actually enjoy driving.
Tesla stupidly cheaped on their flagship 1100hp car with Camry brakes, crappy brake fluid, lines….. even the wheels are cast instead of forged and they say it’s a cheap car!? Cheap for grandma!!!
8” travel is about average wheel travel for stock. Not cool. He said it tho , “prerunner truck” high travel numbers. I wonder who the first champ will be to add custom long travel suspension to their rivian. Longer Arms, remove air suspension in favor of some big king/fox/bilstein/ads coil overs + bypass shocks. Would have to remove or saw through the fenders and would have to clear the rear gear tunnel when you go that wide. But some crazy person is gonna be the first to do a pre-runner Rivian 😂.
I don't believe we are getting that much vehicle for the cost, when Rivian is over engineering their vehicles, when they don't need to be. Prices could be brought down for the consumer, without reducing quality. Like most new auto manufacturers, they over built when it just wasn't needed.
EV's are heavy, and from what I have seen, the front brakes on EV's are much larger (rotor & caliper) than ICE counterpart. Regen doesn't factor into sizing cuz it shuts off at high G loads.
The suspension arm and brake lines are too low and exposed: specially the brake lines, it must remain behind the suspension element, not in front of it.
At 9:54 That part IS MADE IN CHINA Is Rivian using Robotic Welders? I wonder if they are over engineering the suspension? Nice Weld's What could that Green Rubber Cap be? Those are Big Brakes. I'd take The Rivian over a Range Rover ANY DAY OF THE WEEK
It looks like a critical amount of structures made China. Maybe most all of it? How does this affect manufacturability profitability I wonder. You point it out the forgings and the suspension using a craftsman wrench does an example with a forging lines. I'm curious as to what metal this is. The wrench was made of steel but I don't think this is. Is it significant as to the type of materials the forgings are made of? And how it pertains to performance in profitability.
Ha, ha, stop it. It's worth the money. If Rivian is going to sell vehicles to the masses they are going to have cut some of the items that you have stated in this video, plus other things. I'm pretty sure the only reason that Rivian is still around is due to Amazon delivery vans.
Also, you'd think Rivian would build a safe vehicle that can be driven in the mid-west all year long, in other words in snowy and icy conditions. I'm pretty sure the Rivian's are being built in the mid-west🙂 . Good luck to them though, just my two cents for Rivian. And just to add, I have been considered a car/suv/truck type of guy.

I was thinking the same thing. First thing I said was “wait those are casting marks”
The control arms, links & knuckles are forged aluminum, reportedly made by Pankl in China. To see them better, look in E-Bay for replacement parts.

Isn't having hydraulic lines near the control arms exposed like that bad in case they get ripped off while offroading?
Please bring the Rivian R1S to Europe, it's short enough to fit into Europe and has massive space and it looks awesome and seems to be a great alternative (wait there is none - haha)

And keep GVWR under 3500kg (i looked up and it should comply with that number) so we can drive it with standard driving license B in Europe
And bring normal towing at least up to 2500kg and 150kg tongue weight without using weight distribution hitches! (use case Boats like we have)
