RJ is a refreshing CEO, seems to have a head on his shoulders. I respect him and the company for trying to focus on active lifestyle, to give the car personality and practical usability (an alternative to the computer on wheels that is Tesla). But having something that is both practical and also small. Not enough small cars on the market
This year will be the year for Rivian! Great design, great CEO, hopefully they can pull off the production scale up! I wish Rivian the best luck and market will benefit from competition as well!
hope they get the charge port on the correct side when it actually comes out. It will make everyones lives much more enjoyable tesla and rivian alike at super chargers.
Such great coverage you two! Jenna I wanted to say hi on the floor and we had a hot mic so I kept rolling and missed you! Im still jazzed from all the excitement!
I love that RJ genuinely wants more people to drive Rivians. He’s not out to make a new Land Rover or maintain some like luxury exclusivity; he wants everyone to be able to find a Rivian for them.
Ahhhhhh, I'm so excited for R3!!!!!! Was hoping for a truck version of R2, but this is a much more pleasant surprise!⚡💛 I was struggling between the new Mini cars, Volvo EX30 and R2. Loved the awesome new interior of Mini, but didn't like the exterior stylings of Countryman and the Cooper looks better but is too small/dangerous to drive in the States. EX30 is at a great price point and styling isn't too bad, but not as unique as I would like. R2 is still a little too big for me, but still love the smaller SUV. R3 is the perfect combo about the cars I love on the market and so much more! Cannot wait for a release date and pricing! Very excited!!⚡💛💯
I spot my favorite Patrick and Liv from MachE Vlog @1:14!! NGL I'll soon be in the market for a new car and the Mach E was my top choice, UNTIL R2 came, and I'm gonna reserve it in a few days!
Charger on the passenger size just is not safe and makes no sense for the overall ownership. Not that many back in and there are no street chargers. I really hope they move it the Tesla spot. Glad I found this channel!!
Itonically, I have a huge feeling Apple will purchase this company! Rivian is everything I with Tesla was from a vehicle standpoint. They need the financial backing and I wish at some point, they will make a sedan!
Reserved a R2 but never got any answers regarding towing capabilities on the R2? YES this VIDEO he addressed towing - My guess is 3500lbs equivalent to the Model Y :) YAY!
I’m confused by the options. I’ve seen him tell people there’s 3 models and then I’ve heard him tell people there is a small battery pack base version and then a larger pack RWD AWD and Tri
WHY not put the charger on the driver rear, that way when you go to a Tesla supper charger (will be the most used supper charger) you are not blocking two charging spots!!!!
I’ve spent time in seminary, working in churches, and studying the Bible and Christian thought. The idea that Christianity is individual and not communal, nor does it prioritize the lifting up of the poor, the orphan, the widow, the marginalized, is mind breakingly absurd. I could write much much more, but to say that Peterson is coming to the Bible looking to project his own paradigms is undeniable. If he continues exploring Christianity, I pray his ego can be softened and he can be open to what it has to say and offer.
This interview with RJ is so much like fans talking with their rockstar hero. Rivian needs all the business they can get from buyers of their products but they are bleeding money right now. They still need to grow a lot more to be safe, and I hope they can scale up to a higher level but they are running out of time. I suspect they have to find a big ticket investor really soon or they are stuck.
He should have just said that they are pruoritizing the Rivian charging network over the Tesla supercharger network. That home charging excuse for the port on the right rear is a joke. Home charging cords are very long. Supercharger cords are not that long
Prototype is easy, mass production is hard. Rivian is almost banckrupt. They need a lot of money to put R2 and R3 in the market at a decent price. I gave them max 10% to succeed this Great design though
Here is a review for you both. Please stop interviewing CEOS. Who cares about these ppl. This is YT, U2 used to film your lives, Vlog style. That’s why I started watching. These corp type videos are such a snore fest. I want to know what’s going on in your personal life like the old days. Not this crap
My 2 cents is they are very thoughtful interviewers - I like how they give the interviewee space to talk, while still being engaged. Doesn't have to be your cup of tea though!
RJ is so down to earth. He never bashed anyone, not even his competitors. Reserved the R2 and will trade in my 2023 Model Y Performance.
Welcome!
Same here. Will be trading my 2023 Model Y Performance
Same here. Trading my M3 and cancelling my CT order
Same trading in my MY.... Elon is off putting.
RJ us logically minded. No need to bash

Great meeting you both today, loved watching this!
❤love that about the tech community, always making friends!!
CEO is down to earth. I like RJ. More important, I reserved a R2 yesterday, can't wait 2026
I think I am going for the R3!
R2 is exactly what I’ve wanted. I wanted an R1S but didn’t need 3 rows and it’s too expensive. This is basically exactly what I want now
This year will be the year for Rivian! Great design, great CEO, hopefully they can pull off the production scale up! I wish Rivian the best luck and market will benefit from competition as well!
hope they get the charge port on the correct side when it actually comes out. It will make everyones lives much more enjoyable tesla and rivian alike at super chargers.
Awesome interview with RJ! Super detailed and engaging! Great job you two!
Finally!! Someone ask him about Europe! Thank you!
Reserved mine after watching this episode with y’all interviewing RJ
Hope they these in Australia. I'm down for one in heartbeat
Such great coverage you two! Jenna I wanted to say hi on the floor and we had a hot mic so I kept rolling and missed you! Im still jazzed from all the excitement!
I ran into my 2 favorite TH-camrs/Podcasters today and had the opportunity to let them know how much I enjoy their work. Happy Easter, my friends.
great interview, great company!
The R3's design is awesome, especially those rear lights!
I love that RJ genuinely wants more people to drive Rivians. He’s not out to make a new Land Rover or maintain some like luxury exclusivity; he wants everyone to be able to find a Rivian for them.
i'm so excited, i just did my preorder today!!! This was a great interview!!
I hope Rivian can scale. Really luv the vehicles.
Glad to see this podcast back!
It's not coming back.
can't wait for r3 to come although i would wait a year or two after it releases before getting one.
Would like to see heads up display on driver side.
I’m glad you asked about towing but I saw no trailer hitch.

RJ, I am your biggest fan❤ and I wish you and Rivian the whole success❤
Charger on the passenger size just is not safe and makes no sense for the overall ownership. Not that many back in and there are no street chargers. I really hope they move it the Tesla spot. Glad I found this channel!!
Same Brain! ❤😊
Great interview.

Great interview with RJ! Continued success🖖
Reserved a R2 but never got any answers regarding towing capabilities on the R2? YES this VIDEO he addressed towing - My guess is 3500lbs equivalent to the Model Y :) YAY!
I’ve always driven a mini but the r3x will finally make me switch! Gotta have that Pet Comfort mode
I want that r3 so bad. Havent wanted a car like this since first seeing a BMW when I was a kid. Lol
Rivian is way cooler than Tesla.
I’m confused by the options. I’ve seen him tell people there’s 3 models and then I’ve heard him tell people there is a small battery pack base version and then a larger pack RWD AWD and Tri
I reserved the R2! It’s the perfect Dog Dad car.
Excellent interview.
"We had a lot of debate whether R3 should come first…" _YES_ *R3 SHOULD COME FIRST!*
(Also, nice Mach-E Vlog cameo at 1:15.)
Welcoming to my girls, 💗Justine and 💜Jenna.
WHY not put the charger on the driver rear, that way when you go to a Tesla supper charger (will be the most used supper charger) you are not blocking two charging spots!!!!
You're really good at interviewing Jenna, love the sitting posture ,and the line of questioning, so pro .🙏
I’ve spent time in seminary, working in churches, and studying the Bible and Christian thought. The idea that Christianity is individual and not communal, nor does it prioritize the lifting up of the poor, the orphan, the widow, the marginalized, is mind breakingly absurd.

I'm hoping they can get some traction in Europe with the R3.
How much is R3 ...no mention ?>
The R3 is the EV I’ve been wanting to see. If it does come in at the mid $30s price point I think they’ll sell as many as they can produce.

Can Rivian change the charge port to rear side of the driver side??
probably not. did you hear his justification?
Dude’s going to make a lot of people money.
Interesting podcast.
He should have just said that they are pruoritizing the Rivian charging network over the Tesla supercharger network. That home charging excuse for the port on the right rear is a joke. Home charging cords are very long. Supercharger cords are not that long
RJ says all the right things.
Luv RJ. 🎉
cool 🎉
I want Steve-O to say the line.
Jenna trumps Justine....R1S trumps R1T
Steeeve-Oh!, Steeeve-Oh!, Steeeve-Oh!
been a while since this was on.
🥦
👪🌷
iiibre 🌷🌷💃🖒🍷🚘👬
Justine bragging about her R1T when she really drives her Model S Plaid everyday
Much prefer him to Elon. Can’t wait till my Model Y lease is up. R2 is my next…
And the response to this amazing news is another big decline in their stock price😂😂😂😂
Rivian R3 is a copy of Lada Niva.
glad they took inspiration lol. I think it will sell really well.
She spent all this money to buy equipment for this, or got it for free. But does not use it.
Did she quit youtube?
The problem is this vehicle is competing against the Toyota RAV4 hybrid. Its base model Awd is 35k. Toyota wins!
This trend of tech heads, reviewing automobiles is stupid.
Prototype is easy, mass production is hard.
Rivian is almost banckrupt. They need a lot of money to put R2 and R3 in the market at a decent price. I gave them max 10% to succeed this
Great design though
SO they record a new show, only for paid PR?
That's what it seem.
You guys couldn't wear something better than jeans?
why would they need anything more than jeans? they both own his products; he is answering to them.
A good pair of jeans shits on whatever outfit you’re expecting
Here is a review for you both. Please stop interviewing CEOS. Who cares about these ppl. This is YT, U2 used to film your lives, Vlog style. That’s why I started watching. These corp type videos are such a snore fest.
I want to know what’s going on in your personal life like the old days. Not this crap
They still do what you want see. Just don't watch these videos if you don't like them. Really simple
My 2 cents is they are very thoughtful interviewers - I like how they give the interviewee space to talk, while still being engaged. Doesn't have to be your cup of tea though!
Useless opinion.
They're married 😂
ceos literally run the biz
wish R3X first but its ok and i really hope they get apple carplay integrated
