I can always rely on this duo to call out things no one else sees and give an honest review. thanks guys.
Yea. Funny enough… I bought a few rivian shares before this video. I like their trucks, and so I think they will do well. Maybe not Tesla well, but yea.
I don't any Patagonia clothes. I guess I'll be driving gasoline vehicles until the planet croaks.
I’m Just a young mexican stoner tryna make it out the hood👀it’s all negativity & sliding on opps..
@@jasonblack2760 I mean at least Rivian is shipping trucks.
@@jasonblack2760 Wish I would have waited; I have a stinging loss on that stock right now.
“Is like that dude at the campsite, who pulls out a guitar and everybody leaves” - Stevon .. interesting
“We maybe wearing the same Patagonia, but they don’t understand” - Stevon .. hilarious
Obviously not Estas Tonne.
These are the only videos I can watch for 30+ minutes on TH-cam and be thoroughly entertained. Seriously even the sponsor bits crack me up! I’m sure I’ll see one of Rich’s gnarly trucks on the road someday. You guys are the best.
I second that, 75% of the content I watch I end up doing something else and its just playing in the background, not so here, great job yall
what about employment?
okay. I CAN'T ignore a Lancer Evolution AND a R-33 Skyline!!!!
Yeah I noticed to, hope they are up coming builds
Looks like an Evo IX.
He did say he bought two japanese cars so hell yea!
Rich and Stevon really need a podcast and tv show
They have such good chemistry 👍
they do be in love tho
It would be Joe Rogan
@@vanderumd11 When Rich was on JRE, Joe Rogan told him that he should host a podcast because he could tell he had the skills for it.
Disagree, TH-cam was made for these guys.
1:45 Holy crap
STEVEN :
STereotypical
EV
ENthusiast
When Rich was describing the avg rivian owner, he literally described my Environmental Science Professor who just got one 😂
Totally disagree about the Rivian storage between bed and cab. It's an awesome feature. You can put large things you don't want stolen in there and lock them up. Unlike being in the cab- no one can see them through the windows.
Store tools there?
True I think rich qas joking cause Stephen was like you ever play sports and you can store golf clubs to bats and stuff. And like you said tools as well.
This is America, it is a great place for guns
@@LHSlash hey im in the UK and would use it to transport my guns for hunting (not that i will ever be able to afford one if they even brought riven to the UK ) tho i would need to be able to shut off all the lights for driving off road to hunting spots not sure thats possible any more and why i havea Pre 2014 L200 so no day running lights (legal requiremet )
He was joking
There's no other review on the Rivian this honest. Prove me wrong!
The definition of honesty is not "people telling me things that let me believe what I want to be real".
Taking a Rivian to the drag strip is almost certainly a complete violation of their review contract, lol, it's awesome!
@@DonOblivious what do you mean with review contract?
this Rivian was bought and paid for by Zac and Jesse from the "Now You Know" channel.
I suppose they can do with it whatever they like?
@@RufftaMan he is most likely talking about the guarantee. Nissan Skyline had guarantee about taking to the race tracks with the built in GPS.
you go ahead and prove yourself wrong
Now this is a balanced auto review: they caress it when they find something they like, but when they don't...it's a slap Will Smith would be proud of. And the segues into the advertisements are perfection. Never a dull moment on this channel👍😁
That storage cubby tunnel is incredible. I would love to have a tunnel there on my truck for either a full pullout tool kit for a work truck or a camp kitchen for a camper rig.
The first thing I thought of was there is no need for a tool box stretched across the bed. The only thing it needs is a pull out tray incorporated and there would be no question for its usefulness.
Rivian actually sells a pull out kitchen for their truck, with induction stovetop from the battery and everything.
@@mitlanderson for 5 grand lmao
@@larrybe2900 its called thr gear shuttle and its a rivian option.
You guys are unlike any other car review format, and yet much more informative. Funny how just taking a casual look around can be way more enlightening than merely regurgitating car stats from the dealership pamphlet with a dash cam facing you while you drive somewhere. Most excellent and eye opening home video about the Rivian, thus far. Thank you.
I always thought the GM "ball warmer" was a "cooter cooler". Today I learned something new.
gooch chiller
hands down the most creative, enjoyable and talented channel on the internet.
lol I love Jack Johnson (and DCFC), but I never brought the guitar out at parties...well, I never went to parties......
I wish they would make a stripped down 4x4 work truck version. Get rid of all the extra pointless stuff and bring the cost down.
Don't know many ppl buying new work trucks for the price
You want the pro lightning or base Silverado trim then. This is an "adventure vehicle" even when they do in house motors in a couple year's and switch to cheaper lfp pack's. It's still gonna cost 70-85k depending on options. Assuming they survive that long anyway. 😀
What's up with that Evo 8 on the lift!?!? @29:33 Thumbs up for that as a video!
Liked the video strictly for the hilarious commentary on how much an electric truck costs 😂
Have you priced a regular truck lately ?
@@mbsnyderc I have but that’s not the point bozo
@@mbsnyderc have you used a truck for work before?
@@wheeln24-79 if only people using them for work would buy trucks, they would sell one tenth of them. And rivian has never tried to sell it as such. A well specced trx costs 90k+. Indeed, for the performance both on and off road, it is kind of a bargain. Relatively speaking
@@wheeln24-79 everyday.
Rich, WE NEED THIS FLUTE MUSIC ON SPOTIFY!! I would listen to it on repeat.
Oh right! Didn’t even notice until Rich mentioned it. If you scrape the front wrong in some way, you might not be able to charge your truck. Jeepers.
Rich was one of the pioneers making content about BEVs in TH-cam. He could start a new trend, exploring Ethanol, Methanol and Hydrogen powered cars. Especially using ICE powertrains.
Ooh, ethanol power is already in use, but it would be amazing if all cars ran on it
@@captainawesome7092 it wouldn’t be difficult to do at all, just extremely inefficient.
@@captainawesome7092 they could do some conversion in a ICE car to compare efficiency, performance and emissions.
Don't forget about ammonia.
Why the hell would he do it? Bad idea!
Yo, Title and Registration is the best.
Imagine a Tesla owner be owned by a heavy Rivian truck.
"Straight line speed isn't everything (now)".
Right, it’s already happened. The only Teslas that can beat the Rivian are Plaid, and they’ve got 200hp more and like you said, a lot less weight.
Awkward packaging is the real thing you want. Model 3, tiny letterbox trunk, no wagon.
Kia EV6 GT runs 266 kph.
@@Cloxxki what do you mean by awkward packaging?
@@Campos2011 model 3 performance and old p100d tesla’s can beat it easily
@@Cloxxki still gets gapped by a model y performance lmao
Not a fan of the front end of that truck, but the rest is damn sweet. Great work guys. Shout out to your sponsors, I usually skip those, but you guys make it interesting to hear the pitch, so..... well played. Gotta go ship some things now and make a website.
I can't seem to grasp how people look at this thing and say it's a good looking "truck." The front end is just .... down right awful.
@@elesjuan I think it's just polarizing lol. Personally I like it a lot, but I can see why others don't
It looks a lot better in person to be honest. I thought they looked really dumb too, until I saw one... There's a lot more detail in the headlights than there appears to be.. Kind of distracts you from the googly eye look that stands out in photos.
@@elesjuan Dude you drive a molested Miata with a black hood. I don't think you are one to talk about aesthetics.
@@TheBowerbird I drive an 11 second miata with a carbon fiber hood, and it looks a fuck of a lot better than this electric turd. Also don't seem to recall asking for your opinion of my car, so..
The gear tunnel is amazing. Extra lockable storage is never a bad thing. And you can pull a whole working kitchen out of it for an additional $5,000.
Yeah. 5k to go camping in an 85k truck sounds reasonable. Sounds like the way things are going.
@@BuildTheSandbox people have been paying a lot more than that to go camping for years. And have to pay for gas too. Last time I went camping we were sleeping in our Subaru and everyone else had $200,000 RVs that cost who knows how much to fill up. My friend’s Ford pickup was even more than $85,000 and it eats gas and definitely doesn’t have a pullout kitchen.
@@craigcampbell1843 you're not wrong Craig
@@BuildTheSandbox 😂 this truck with the tent and the kitchen would be luxury camping to me. That would be my dream setup right now but to a lot of campers that would be considered a small investment and would still be roughing it. I guess it’s all about perspective.
Electric Trucks are cool, charging hassles not so cool. As the first one out, sort of, this bodes well. Setting a pretty high standard.
The majority of people who drive pickup trucks in America don’t use it as work utility vehicle. So the lack of charging infrastructure doesn’t really matter to most people who use electric pickup trucks as domestic vehicles.
Thank you for showing a Rivian in a "real-world" scenario. . . And congratulations on creating a new subgenre: *Rivianians*
Its pronounced: Rivawnian good sir
Thanks for mentioning the BW vent. No one ever talks about it! But it was there. _It was there._
I remember when I first saw images of the SUV Rivian, my impression was "4Runner". Seeing the pickup in consumer hands has only cemented that. Maybe I'll be able to afford one with all the kinks sorted out by the time my 08' 4Runner starts giving up, assuming it ever will, which is debatable.
I for one feel personally attacked and stereotyped...
@@v8thunder694 🧔♀️
I think you should hug it out with a 🌲 tree. 😁
such chemistry, these two could make videos about different brands or no.2 pencil and make it entertaining
that's me @24:20 in all my pandemic poundage Glory. Great meeting you guys, super down to earth dudes. Sorry I didn't get to get smoked on the strip.
Need a random funny guy on the staff? 😁
This is one of the fun ones. But does Rich know about the slide out rack option for the tunnel + power source inside? People are going to do some stupid stuff with that and I'm looking forward to it.
A spare Battery or a foldable PV System
🤣 The fucking kind bars and loose straps under the rear bench. You guys got me good with that joke
so we just gonna ignore the fact Rich apparently has a R33 and CT9A now?
stevon looks at home in that truck
Wait Stevon is the stereotypical EV person? I like granola too.
lmao same and DMB too
My grandmother's GMC Spring (El Camino thing) had speakers where the headrests should have been on the bench seat.
I only temporarily owned an Chevy El Camino. Hope they make an electric version sometime. Companies keep building trucks into the air. Bring 'em back down low.
Nobody wants a low truck. And definitely don't want a car that has a bed. Well Camino, ranchero, Subaru Baja, and every other car truck has failed. They may steal some of the market from the Subaru outback from the group of rugged lesbians that buy them, but that's a tiny market pool to try to steal from.
That Evo 7 in the background doe
Your visit to Aptera was Kool, I was there on 4/8/22 they had just a new shell, on a pallet, this company is so open and friendly, was in carlsbad and emailed Brookie, got me into meet the team and what a team. Worked for Hewlett-Packard 26 years, sub assembly is the way to go can't wait for delivery of my Aptera. Also an investor 😎
19:04 That missing bolt is pretty concerning, not to mention all the others which are only finger tight. Hopefully Rivian improves their QC on later versions.
probably sold out on threadlocker
Tesla 2.0
Making 1 is not so difficult. Producing it on a production line is another story entirely.
You can see the issue at... 18:30 LOL
Made in China. Trash.
@@littlejackalo5326 Your phone also is made in China, that isn't the issue.
Stevon was quick on the draw with that DeathCab reference!
That was a deep reference for sure.
Stevenson put it in Cougar mode?
I really hope the Rivian can use the Tesla network soon. That will makes the cross country trips so much nicer. The new Tesla chargers are having the pull through charging stations installed too. Getting ready for the campers
I've seen them at Evgo stations.
Can stevoon put an exercise bike in the back hook to Generator?
Stevon with the deep cut from outta nowhere 🤯
The “Website Tabs” in the Squarespace ad are hilarious.
I love the understated New Hampshire logic of, "how big ah Fischer plow can you put on thayuh?". Live Free Or Die, woot! Oh yeah, what track is that?
Its always fun seeing the stuff on Rich's channel a couple days after now you know and how good friends they all are
Rich I want to know more about the Evo on the lift above the covered car...
Rich lookin’ a lot like Han right now.
R33 GTR and Evo 8/9 casually on a stacker in the background.
“What you think, I’m gonna let you roll in a Tesla?”
Every cuban watching this was cracking up, Elian Gonzales’s door🤣🤣🤣
What's the first thing Rich does, pull it in and put it up on the BENDPAK. My kind of people.
I just knew you guys picked Lena up out from the ghetto. That old clip of her as a taco truck server was real telling.
The storage options Rivian has are pretty fantastic, ngl..
I can't believe they didn't recognize the golf bag storage compartment.
It's horrible compared to the EV Silverado
@@dh66 riiiiiight. LOL
@@littlejackalo5326 right. You have the internet look it up
My only issue with the spare tire compartment is what do you do when you get a flight with a load in the bed. Otherwise a pretty neat truck though
The cargo tunnel becomes very useful if you install the kitchen. I can definitely see the benefit there when truck camping.
Just got this thought now looking at the tunnel doors. What happens if you forget to close it or it pops open whilst driving? Could cause serious damage or hurt someone.
That is an interesting point. I wonder if they will eventually have to solve that with a sensor.
I can see that's an Evo on the lift but is that a GTR above it?
Dat flute is hilarious as a mug!😂🤣
BEVs make perfect sense for compact cars, not so much for heavy SUVs, Trucks. In those categories, Hybrids make more sense in efficiency. Even more now, that BEV are getting even more expensive, with supply chain shortages for battery production.
I agree hydrogen would be better for heavier vehicles
I think an LS V8 or Cummins 4BT would be better, lol
@@ImNotHere4750 or be used as a range extender. Many Manufactures are now experiencing with ICE Hydrogen, because these type of engines are more reliable, roughed, easier to scale up in production, and can take Hydrogen with some type of contaminants, than with a Fuel Cell system.
@@captainawesome7092 while towing, not a surprise if both were more efficient than most of these BEV trucks.
@@ImNotHere4750 Hydrogen technology will never be good enough, it was killed off early in development. I wish ICE cars would keep improving, and Porsche would hurry up and mass produce e-fuel so ICE cars could run completely cleanly, and therefore could be legal in countries (and states such as California which are trying to outlaw the sale of new ICE cars) that are trying to save the planet by removing one of the greatest achievements of human history. If ICE cars ran clean, then auto manufacturers could continue increasing power output in ICE vehicles to meet and surpass that of BEVs.
Richard, I live near the Rivian manufacturing plant here in Normal, Illinois.
The R1T (truck)is all I see coming out of the plant. Not one R1S (suv) has come out.
So beat the hell out of it and push it past its limitations!
Great video!
Those keys will get recalled now for sure...
Elian Gonzalez's front door reference and the Bono episode of South Park in one episode? Wow.
Ball bags, guns, fishing poles, I can see a few uses for the hole in the side but it is extra ASF!! I honestly thought the speaker was a battery bank for camping 🤣
Imagine. Detachable solar battery generator. Like a 10mile gas can
Looks like you could get a dead body or 2 in there
The entire truck is the battery bank.
@@littlejackalo5326 u going to park right next to your head and then drag a cord from the rear end of the truck to the tent. Little inconvenient but I guess it works. I’m thinking a portable 10-15lbs battery bank.
Ritch the side storage door, is a throwback, golf club door. 1929 Dusie for example.
Cheers
Interesting the gfi tripped. I have had my Leaf plugged into a gfi for years with no problem. My brother borrowed the Leaf for a month and his gfi tripped 3 times. That would get really annoying waking up to a partially charged car.
Depends on the rating of the receptacle.
What rating are you referring to that affects when the gfi triggers?
@@ecospider5
There are 15 amp and 20 amp receptacles.
That rating has nothing to do with the gfi tripping on a 12 amp load. GFI trips when the amperage going down the hot wire doesn’t match the amperage coming back on the neutral wire. This protects from electricity going through a person to ground. Which is what kills people. But other things can cause a gfi to trip, which is referred to as nuisance tripping.
Are we not going to talk about the Evo on the middle rack of the triple stacker??
(Or the R33 Skyline?)
Clearly the time improved in later runs as the battery drained and saved weight
/s
Slightly true, due to E=mc-squared. It's a matter of grams, though.
@@Digital-Dan Grams?! It's much closer to micrograms or about one grain of sand. Spitting out the window would lose more weight.
Crotch vent was the best feature ive ever had on any of my cars. Every car on the planet should have them. 50C day in Australia, man you need that vent.
darth vader exhaling for an uncomfortable amount of time 💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀
The jokes have me dying hahahahaha
“Made from Elian Gonzalez’s door”
Awesome content. Keep em coming Uncle Rich!
Rich played tennis ? So you have wheels in more ways than one huh. That is in fact a fun fact . Lmao !!!!!! I want to audition for that band though ! Lets go !!!
The rivian tale gate is going to be a pain in the ass to clean out if you haul rocks or dirt🤣🤣🤣
I actually imagine it's easier than a normal truck
@@mikebolton2388 then your imagination needs some more knowledge.
it'll work fine for a few bags of groceries though
@@chrisstearns10 well if you look at the bed of this truck, it has those curved beams that leave a large gap between the bed and tailgate. When you need to clean it, just life up the middle section between the tailgate and bed. In a normal truck, you have to kinda fight the bigger rocks back into the bed.
Lol, the Applebee's waitress line 🤣
Hope next week is offroading this thing!
I keep forgetting that people outside of Florida heard about Elián González.
You know I love this channel and think it’s the best thing since sliced white bread (don’t hate on me that’s an actual saying.. I think?) but that pass through is one of the coolest uses of otherwise dead space so, why you hating on it Rich😂
its sliced bread. lolol

He’s already done gas and diesel. I say waste oil powered steam engine.
@@WarmongerSmurfOnXbox How about wind power with sails
Gotta love the other tabs during the SquareSpace promo
That carbon skid plate is going to crack in no time
That's honestly crazy to me that you can't jack the truck up without removing parts of the skid plate! I guess the buyers of these things aren't the type to care about that though. Titanium would be much better.
Patagonias got me! Keep it up yall, shits gold!
you gotta love the quality control
LOVE all the tabs you have open in Chrome during your sponsor message! ;-)
I wish the Mario sounds to be standard for drags tho...
so glad you all got one to get on a lift, compare to its "competition" and then really go after it on a track... for something as big as that to get up and go that fast is pretty impressive. anyway keep up the fun vids with it.. will be interesting to see what comes next with the other trucks coming. cheers.
The Glove compartment isn’t accurately named…. And everybody (other than Rich) knows it.
That hinge is decibel going to fail on the tailgate haha.. Great video, lots of laughs as always
Talk to me, Richie. Talk to me about that Mitsubishi Evo!
lol dudes that shipstation commercial was the best ever i actually sat thru it lol...
The tunnel is perfect for golf clubs, hockey bags, luggage etc., etc., etc., etc.
Put a cooler in there and grab your drinks through the back seat.
As someone who lives in Minnesota ... the GM ball warmer vent is something I seriously miss. There's nothing pleasant about the ol' pipes freezing up on the way to work every morning!
Can count on you guys for a laugh and some education at the same time. 👍👍
I loved the Elian Gonzalez reference! Oh classic!
PLEASE do a video on the EVO 😁
Patagonia makes a great off-road tire

Climbed Hell's Pass in Moab, Utah, by itself, completely stock. Hmmm... maybe not so mild.
The mariokart flute interlude was beautiful
Hey Rich, will you guys be looking into the Lightning once it's available?
As an engineer, I NEVER buy first generation products. I know how product owners want to push their ideas off to the production line without proper tests and quality verifications.
