      TH-cams new Algorithm flags every video which uses "words like this" and rates them 18+ (which means you have to log in to see it and the creator doesn't get any money). So you can't say words like Cockpit, Cockroach, Montenegro... even the word Cucumber (cuCUMber) has been flagged before. It's madness lol

      People are so short sighted when it comes to huge companies like Amazon. It’s like how people act like Jeff Bezos is making all the decisions for the company. There are a lot of people involved in these decisions. Diversity in delivery vehicles is not only smart, it has to happen in case there are major problems with one of the brands.

    So awesome to see this video from my favorite channel after driving the Rivian for work today. The only thing I have to say is, unless the larger manufacturers do more than just electrify their existing models, I hope that Amazon prioritizes Rivian going forward. These vans are built precisely for what we do and it is miles beyond the standard vans in every way, especially when it comes to ergonomics. No aches after a couple long shifts is new to me!

    • @murraymadness4674

    As a fleet mechanic that services some of the delivery vans for an Amazon facility, I'm really excited to see the electric versions come out. It's also just going to give the drivers another thing to complain about, and those guys really already don't get paid enough. (Remember guys, be kind to your delivery drivers. They're third party so amazon doesn't take care of them as well as they should.)

      @@Squab27 ram/chrysler quality is down the shitter. While the GM does have a touchscreen the actual quality of the screen is garbage. Compare that to the Ford which has a much higher quality nicer looking display. This means that the rearview camera on the Ford is much clearer and better looking. The rearview camera by contrast is garbage on the Ram compared to the ford.
      The ford also has more conveniently located cupholders, A much nicer stereo, and a higher quality interior. Both interiors are made of plastic but the Ford does a better job at making it feel less cheap and more durable.
      The Ford engine is also really good I actually like the way the Ram shifts at lower speeds but the actual quality and durability of a Ram is trash. The Ford will last a lot longer. the display on the speedometer on the ford also looks really nice and is easy and intuitive to use.
      I drove one of our prime Ram vans yesterday and it he buttons missing from the center console (hazard light buttons and more!), and the rear latch to open up the left door on the back was gone so I couldn’t open up the left side door. The side door on the ram also takes and obscene amount of force to slam it shut. It’s just a pain in the ass.

    • @matthewjswider
      @matthewjswider 2 ปีที่แล้ว +47

      The transit seats don’t even adjust up and down. The metal is thinner on the body, which is going to rust through quicker than all other vans. (I build camper vans in all platforms and cut holes in them constantly. I know this for a fact) The handling is atrocious, and the body roll in 20 mph wind feels like you’re going around a racetrack. The field of view is terrible over the front end. The dash is too tall, and since you can’t raise the seat, if you’re anywhere near 6’0 or over you’re going to have your knees hovering all day.
      If you’re in the market for a van go drive all of them. Don’t take anyone’s advice. It’s plain and simple going to fall down to your budget in the first place and what you deem worth your money but, at least do yourself a favor and drive all of them.

      the turnover on those gas vans is pretty quick, there's a reason people generally don't buy them used. They're completely wrecked after like 3-5 years, constant top-start is really hard on the drivetrains. That being said, used EV delivery vans in 5-10 years could be a really good option because they don't suffer the same way from start-stop driving

    • @TySchmidt
      @TySchmidt 2 ปีที่แล้ว +15

      Most companies have a whole bunch of venture capitalists who've invested since day one, long before the IPO. Once the shares hit the market and everyone is buying, the price skyrockets. Once the price skyrockets people start feeling fear of missing out, so they throw aside all of their research and buy overvalue because their shares aren't filling at market price. Once it gets crazy high the venture capitalists unload their shares and make an insane profit. With the price dump off many retail traders get scared that they overpaid and end up selling theirs too out of fear, further driving down the price. Then the VCs turn around and invest in 10 more pre-IPO companies with their profits and repeat the process again.

Rivian won't be anywhere near profitable for years, and we're about to experience a mild recession as the FED raises rates and people realize we vastly over anticipated inflation in both the housing and new/used vehicle market. When people have to start treating money like money again instead of blowing a ton of it, and then getting more for free from the government, like they have been for the past 22 months, we're going to see an overabundance of supply and little to no demand at anywhere near these prices - and that goes for stocks too.

    Replacing delivery cars (Amazon, USPS…) is pretty much overdue at this point.
    It just hurts to see how they start the engine, drive 100 feet, stop the engine, and do it again. Huge stress on ICE engines, very inefficient, and the most polluting way to drive a car.
    EV is just better for this purpose in every way.

    • @redbaron6805
      @redbaron6805 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      The math on this is relatively simple. We know that refining oil into gasoline per gallon (petrol) requires around 6kWh. That is enough energy to drive an electric car around 25 miles (40Km).
      So, a lot of the energy required for EV's is already being spent (wasted) on fossil fuel production.
      Also, talking about how much "land mass" wind turbines would cover would be minimal as offshore turbines are where the biggest growth is and where the largest turbines are being installed.
      The same applies to solar. When you put solar on a rooftop, no land mass is lost, the roof is already there. There are millions of square miles of rooftop space around the worlds that are basically wasted today, which could hold a solar array with zero additional space needed.
      Just take a look at the airport terminals and parking garages at a decent sized airport and the massive amount of rooftop space which could power the entire airport and send the surplus to the neighboring towns and cities.
