The entire process you go through to produce these range test videos is amazing and I highly recommend anyone that is curious to watch your live streams that show the behind-the-scenes of all the work that goes into producing these very professional final videos. Thank you again for allowing us to join you via live stream to watch that process and then to be able to enjoy they final video that summarizes the test results.
I'm wondering why they just don't use a track and drive in circles at a constant speed until it dies...elimates all the stop and go stuff. I guess that process would be less amazing.
@@countreekidd That would very likely get a good bit longer range. This feels more real world, but there's no one way to summarize it. I like a variety of techniques, maybe there is one thing that it does a poor job on it, but so far rivian looks pretty reliable and easy across different circumstances.
One of the videos I’ve been looking forward to most. So glad the range is solid. 300 miles should be pretty easily attainable with more efficient tires.
Thanks for making this video. I stayed up late last night to watch it. I learned a lot about the R1T. Can someone tell me what drive mode/ride height they used for the EPA test where they got 314 mpge for the R1T?
@@vinestreetimages You've got to remember the 314mi figure is the combined(city/hwy) range. It stands to reason large vehicles like the Rivian will have large city/highway range spread. That said, 290mi out of a truck is very impressive
I'm addicted to your videos Kyle and team. I haven't pulled the trigger on an EV just yet but have learned a ton and think it'll happen this year. Keep up the great work...super helpful.
Yes, that’d be great if you could run it through a power washer to see how waterproof the bed cover is. Also, I’ve heard that the power charge cover will sometimes open during a power wash due to water pressure, so it’d be interesting to see if you can replicate that potential issue.
I’ve wondered about that? My BMW has sensors on the door handles for unlocking/locking the doors. If I have the key fob in my pocket when I wash my car at home and water runs by the sensors, my doors will unlock and lock as the water runs by while I’m washing. Incredibly annoying! Usually I take the key out of my pocket and leave it in the house when I wash the car. The few times I’ve run the car through a car wash, it has not been an issue, probably because either the car is running and in neutral or the sensor identifies that it is inside the car.
@@alonzogonzalez3062 Happens to me also. It's not because of water on the sensors, it's because you are electrically (capacitance) connected to the car by the water flowing through the hose that you are holding with a wet hand. Just as if you had grabbed the door handle. I just put the key fob on my work bench before washing car.
I think a lot of people forget to think that the "total energy" may include energy made with Regen. So it's not all put of the battery pack from your initial charge, you generated some along the way and used it, so that number can vary.
So on the equivalent of less than 4 gallons of gas or around 3 gallons of diesel. This truck managed 288+miles of driving. Damn fine job rivian team! Now let's see you up that charging curve some more, it is 2022 after all.👍🏻😎
That is horrible fuel economy, a model 3 gets the same range with half the power. 70MPGe sounds good till you realize its the worst efficiency for a current EV.

Brilliant review! Superbly thought out vehicle and one off my fav EVs. I'll order one for UK delivery next month (April) so I can put my RC planes in the bed. Dark grey/graphite or that lovely Rivian blue with yellow calipers please lads. You can do it. Grease that production line! ;)
@@mattbrew11 Your YT Handle is spot on. My net worth is $4.5M and the most expensive car I have ever bought was $35K 5 years ago. Have never leased or finance in my life except 2 years in a apartment when I was younger and mortgage.
That is a nice truck, I'm sure owning one would put a smile on anyone's face. People obsess about range, even though most don't drive more than a couple road trips per year. 280+ miles for a 100% charge should satisfy almost all daily drivers. But holy smokes that is a big battery. I'm pretty sure Tesla Model 3s use 73kWh packs. So of course you have weight, ride height, etc., but the Rivian R1T needs twice the battery to go less distance than any long range Tesla. That's not a slam on the Rivian R1T, but a commentary on how you can be supply constrained even though you only built less than 2500 vehicles. Looking at you, too Lucid. And will be saying the same thing about Hummer EVs and F-Lightnings.
Im not sure how practical putting electric in a truck is since effience plays a big role in electric vehicles and a not very areo dynamic vehicle just a brick on wheels is not, also if you load this vehicle up weight wise or tow something i imagine you be getting alot lower range.
Wow, I'm impressed. The EPA rates the R1T at 48 kWh/100mi and you got roughly 43! Apparently it's even more efficient in real world testing than the EPA says. Nice!
You are a very Specific person..you calculate everything in a way i Respect 🙏 🙂🌴 The car itself is a very good. But the way you tested was amazing.. I appreciate all the Efforts you put on... A new Subscriber... Greetings from Kingdom of Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦 🌴🙂
Got 78.5 MPGe at this constant 70 mph. Pretty good, especially on all terrains. The Lightening's EPA rating is 68 MPGe for comparison (although a larger truck).
The EPA equivalent test and window stickers is 68 for the rivian and 69 for the ford lightning. This is info from insideev. If you got 78.5 then you would theoretically get more in the ford if your test conditions were the same.
@@officialyasir Ford hasn’t been anything. Yet another person that thinks the manufacturer sets the EPA rating. This misconception just keeps spreading. FYI- EPA sets EPA range, not Jill from Walmart
@Rob Kahla Get a snack, take a seat because school is in session. EPA provides methodologies for estimating range, the auto manufacturer can choose from these and submit their estimates. EPA then decides whether to double check the manufacturer numbers or not. The auto manufacturers also have the option to choose ANY number less than the results if they want to be conservative. Ford and most other automakers choose the 2-cycle method which results in more conservative range and then sometimes Ford just rounds down the range number. Tesla chooses the 5-cycle method which tends to be overly optimistic. This is why when you look at real-world testing done by Edmunds or Inside EVs, you will see other automakers meeting or exceeding their combined EPA range on the hwy whereas Tesla is usually ~10% short. In conclusion, while the automakers use the EPA’s methodology, they always have the option to reduce it further by any amount. Another example of this is the Porsche Taycan which consistently exceed its EPA’s range by large margin. More info: cleantechnica.com/2020/08/18/how-does-epa-calculate-electric-car-range/amp/
Awesome, thanks so much Kyle! Great testing, as always, and better range than I would have thought at 70mph. Still ouch it took 50% bigger battery to match Tesla :) but it's a big truck after all! So glad to hear how much you liked & enjoyed the truck, hope it is a great sign for Rivian's future and that they can make a ton of these and grow as a company!
That’s impressive range for the all-terrain wheels! The EPA estimated range is based on the aero wheels. Rivian predicted a 10-15% range loss for the all-terrain wheels.

Great video, sir. I loved how you went all the way to zero; that took guts! I can't wait for my R1S to come this fall. Conserve mode is the way to go on road trips, it seems.
They need to hire someone to redesign that obnoxious grille! BTW, I have the funds, but I WONT be dropping $70k for one of these. There are still some nice rides out there for around 30K. That leaves a lot of cash for other things. And this is a new company, will they be here in ten years?
Kyle, thanks for doing the 70mph highway test. I feel like I originated this idea 4-5 years ago and pushed it heavily online in the hopes that someone would pick it up as the defacto EV range test. So happy that you're doing it! Now if we can only get the EPA to adopt it!
Well done exactly what I was looking for 0 to 0 true range. This is what I call my Anxiety counter. Switching to EV exciting although new to me. I live in Georgia traffic and occasionally trips to Alabama roughly 357 miles so this will give me some confidence. Also wondering if price will come once they build the facility here in GA. Newness wears off a bit. Keep it going Im a subscriber for sure. Can't wait for the next video. Thanks much appreciated.
I'm loving my Rivian R1T after driving it for 2000 miles over 6 weeks. I'm finding huge differences with mileage and range when I drive 70-80 mph versus 50-60 mph based on the efficiency meter. I'd bet money that if you could stand to drive 55mph during this test that you could have squeaked about 340 miles out of this truck.
Please consider reruning this test one year later. There have been OTA updates to the vehicle's efficiency and it would be cool to see if it ages well. Thanks, Kever in NoCo
Well done... I have a strong interest in this vehicle and your test placed strong consideration of possibly purchasing one. Though I believe Rivian manufacturing doesn't suffer like ultra large legacy manufactures per Q&A I would wait a couple more years before investing. In addition I want the newer forth coming SS battery technology in an EV.
I agree, the coolest Pick up ever made. I got one, and even in conserve mode, up hill I have enormous power and smooth Excelleration. Unless you have driven one, don't think I am just saying this because of an opinion or brand love, or any such mushy thing. The future has arrived.
Kyle, great stuff! I have yet to see a reviewer actually take an R1T off-road on say a 2-day 100 mile Overlanding trip. I really want to see “real” off-road mileage figures before pulling the trigger on one.
@@jackylsmith8138 More friction off road, but no air resistance. An EV will go twice as far at 30 mph, as 70 on pavement. If it regens, that will help, which I suspect it will if you aren't crawling super slow. I'm very interested in the result.
awesome video, I'm in Florida and drive about 100 miles a day on flat roads (Florida Turnpike) I bet the Rivian would do even better with no head wind.
Honestly impressed with the efficiency and the responsiveness of the screen. Software looks very solid. The car is super heavy but that is close to Model X efficiency which weighs a good 2000lbs less or thereabouts.
[2 comments] First, to the consumer, recharging time matters, especially if you use the truck for business or commercial use. Time is money. Second, any electric vehicle I buy would have to have a charging port on both sides of the vehicle. It just makes sense because sometimes you cannot park close enough to the charger to reach the far side of the truck. Otherwise, you give excellent reviews. THANKS
Thanks for these videos on the Rivian. Before seeing these, I was of a high opinion of Rivian and other E Pickups. I had been considering buying Rivian stock as well. No Sir! Impractical as can be for anything but city driving around. Might be fine for an Amazon delivery van, trips to the golf course or dump. But, taking it out to do pickup stuff in the West, no thanks. You saved me a bunch of money and frustration.
very nice overview! I would love an R1T, but I have such an issue with the charge rates. With all the different styles of testing you performed with this truck, what would you say was the average length of charging between 20-80%? I just don't like the extremely lengthy stops it takes to charge as it adds way too much extra time into a trip (just my personal opinion though)!
Kyle, though I agree that a head wind is better than a cross wind and do a round trip but it’s far from even. Energy is based on velocity squared so the higher relative velocity when going into headwinds has a big penalty.
Love the UI, in some parts it looks very similar to Tesla (which is a good thing) but with a more artistic look. Awesome overall! Might be a nice car if they ever make a non pickup for EU market.
Thanks for the video. There seemed to be a continual roaring noise while on your trip. Is that the “road and wind friction” noise? It was noticeable even on the first part of the trip with a tail wind. Seems like a nice truck and should be at the price. However, the charging time seems long. Looking forward to a review on charging to 80 or 90% after two hours on the road (typical time to take a break when driving, at least for me).
I just got my R1T and love it so much. I have noticed an odd, somewhat off-putting noise when going 60 mph or higher. It is a very subtle whir/hum that is constant when doing interstate driving. It definitely sounds like a noise from the motors. Rivian support asked me to take a video of the noise, but it is too subtle to pick up on video. In general, I absolutely love the sound of the motors, but was curious if anyone else has noticed the same thing at higher speeds. I am not sure if I should be concerned or not.
To further elaborate, it seems to be when I am "coasting" in the vehicle. I understand there is no coasting with 1 pedal driving, but it is the best description I can provide. Like right between when it is using regen and when it is accelerating. Essentially maintaining speed.
Great test! I finally know that you can get at least 280 miles out of Rivian that is all I need to know. I should be getting mine with the Sport tires I wonder how these will affect the range. :)
Im not sure about side winds but what i can say is that even when driving with tail and head wind you are not gonna achieve the same consumption as driving with no wind. This is all because wind speed is squared in the wind force formula.
so take away is 289.3 miles were driven at 2.33 miles / kwh which means that total usable battery capacity is 124 kwh which means that 8% of the battery is capped off to reduce battery degridation.
I’m new to EV. Do you use rivian’s onboard screen to look for the next charging network while you’re testing your range? Or you’re using a separate charge app from your phone? How long does it take to charge the rivian to 75% or to 100% for long trip, assuming charging from below 10%. Thank you
In a road trip you probably don't ever want to charge any EV past the 80% mark. The charging speeds are just too slow since they want to protect the batteries.
I’d recommend watching his road trip once he post on out of spec motoring. You’ll get a really good idea of how to road trip. He’ll post charging curve on this channel hopefully soon.
I have one on order, after my Tesla Model 3 Performance’s “310mi EPA” rating I was extremely skeptical. At 70mph in SoCal I get 220-240mi, no climate. Where I live is hilly and that does contribute, but I was genuinely wondering if Rivian BS’s their numbers like Tesla. Don’t get me wrong I love my Tesla and would buy another one but it’s disappointing I don’t get anywhere near my EPA range. Glad Rivian is being straight forward!
I have been watching your live feeds. So when do you sleep ? Just crazy. You still were able to edit the video and get this up. And j bet you are back on the road today
Car and Driver 75 MPH range test listed the R1T as 220 miles of range. That is a huge difference for only a 5 MPH speed increase. is there any insight on the delta shown in the two tests? The 75 MPH test also showed most tesla vehicles's range decreased about 20-30% below the EPA started range at this speed. Only the Tycan did better when driven faster.
Curious about range in other modes like comfort? You do a great job, and I know this is a lot of work. Also great live stream. I like watching both the live and this summary.
I think I like the instrumentation. Very Tesla-like. And like the Tesla, while it does use color, it's usually very understated, probably more played down than what Tesla does.
All charged up and ready to go... (and the big thing here is "Tail wind"?) How about a Cross Country trip to see how long that takes with 270 miles per charge? Until I can "recharge" my Rivian battery as quickly as I can fill a gas tank, NO THANKS! My time is too valuable.
Kyle, do you recommend the phone window mount you use in this video? I’ve had a hard time finding one that stays on. If so do you have an Amazon link to it? I looked in your Amazon items but didn’t see it. Thanks in advance!
The Kyle dream garage as I envision it. Mercedes camper-Porsche grand turismo electric ⚡️- Rivian R1t - Rivian R1s (for dogs) and quirky city car electric I know not which
you always bring great content and hardworking. But i think this video can be 16 minutes shorter if you just go straight to the point of the range test.
Unbelievably good. I was just listening to it yesterday. (I was checking this video for range before going on a big trip and like your taste in music).
@Out of Spec Reviews any chance a test was done with the bed open fully versus closed? Now that the tonneau is a optional item I would love to see what it might do to the range on those without the cover...
I own a Tesla Model S and have a Pre-order deposit on a Rivian. Have postponed my spec-out of the Rivian as I have begun to lose confidence in Rivian. Hope they get their act together.
What is the difference between Out of Spec Motoring and Out of Spec Review? I found this channel on Out of Spec Motoring where in a video there you told us that the videos would be concentrated on this channel, now you are mentioning that you will upload an analysis on the Out Of Spec Motoring. It is becoming a bit confusing to me, would you mind to clarify? Thank you.

Well done... I have a strong interest in this vehicle and your test placed strong consideration of possibly purchasing one. Though I believe Rivian manufacturing doesn't suffer like ultra large legacy manufactures per Q&A I would wait a couple more years before investing. In addition I want the newer forth coming SS battery technology in an EV.
Well done Kyle!
I agree, the coolest Pick up ever made. I got one, and even in conserve mode, up hill I have enormous power and smooth Excelleration. Unless you have driven one, don't think I am just saying this because of an opinion or brand love, or any such mushy thing. The future has arrived.
The best in depth videos!
Great video @outofspecreviews! Did you charge back to 100%? How many kWh went back to the battery?
This is an awesome video. I got the max pac. I can’t wait
Kyle, great stuff! I have yet to see a reviewer actually take an R1T off-road on say a 2-day 100 mile Overlanding trip. I really want to see “real” off-road mileage figures before pulling the trigger on one.
Doing it now!
They won’t make 100 miles off road. Better bring a gas generator
@@OutofSpecReviews Awesome! You will be the 1st You Tuber to do this. I am looking forward to your results.
@@jackylsmith8138 More friction off road, but no air resistance. An EV will go twice as far at 30 mph, as 70 on pavement. If it regens, that will help, which I suspect it will if you aren't crawling super slow. I'm very interested in the result.
@@fjalics i think it will go farther than 100 miles, highways are the worst.
On the 21" this will exceed 300 at 70mph. That's solid! Way better than Teslas compared to claimed range.
Rivian is great! Wish they can build it faster enough
awesome video, I'm in Florida and drive about 100 miles a day on flat roads (Florida Turnpike) I bet the Rivian would do even better with no head wind.
Honestly impressed with the efficiency and the responsiveness of the screen. Software looks very solid. The car is super heavy but that is close to Model X efficiency which weighs a good 2000lbs less or thereabouts.
I'm loving all this awesome rivian content 👍
[2 comments] First, to the consumer, recharging time matters, especially if you use the truck for business or commercial use. Time is money. Second, any electric vehicle I buy would have to have a charging port on both sides of the vehicle. It just makes sense because sometimes you cannot park close enough to the charger to reach the far side of the truck. Otherwise, you give excellent reviews. THANKS
I liked this video before even watching it 😂
"Put it in REVERSE Ter!" what a pull hahahaha. Great review.
Thanks for these videos on the Rivian. Before seeing these, I was of a high opinion of Rivian and other E Pickups. I had been considering buying Rivian stock as well.
No Sir! Impractical as can be for anything but city driving around. Might be fine for an Amazon delivery van, trips to the golf course or dump. But, taking it out to do pickup stuff in the West, no thanks. You saved me a bunch of money and frustration.
Great content thank you! Love how you really drove it all the way to 0%
The UI looks well done, responsive yet easy to use and hey, you can even access your seat heaters on the main display unlike with Tesla ;)
Indeed. Brilliant UX design. Rivian have thought things through in every aspect of their trucks.
Just wait until some young engineers are in charge of the Xmas update! LOL
@@tstan6827 shhh
I make the drive past Wellington to Cheyenne daily. Would love to get an in person look at the truck, just put a pre-order in.
very nice overview! I would love an R1T, but I have such an issue with the charge rates. With all the different styles of testing you performed with this truck, what would you say was the average length of charging between 20-80%? I just don't like the extremely lengthy stops it takes to charge as it adds way too much extra time into a trip (just my personal opinion though)!
Kyle, though I agree that a head wind is better than a cross wind and do a round trip but it’s far from even. Energy is based on velocity squared so the higher relative velocity when going into headwinds has a big penalty.
I’m curious how much the range will be effected by raising the suspension to the next level above conserve mode. 10% less? 🤔
Pretty sure they plan to do this test with all the different ride heights.
Love the UI, in some parts it looks very similar to Tesla (which is a good thing) but with a more artistic look. Awesome overall! Might be a nice car if they ever make a non pickup for EU market.
26.7 kWh/100km is perfectly ok! Good job Rivian!
Thanks for the video. There seemed to be a continual roaring noise while on your trip. Is that the “road and wind friction” noise? It was noticeable even on the first part of the trip with a tail wind. Seems like a nice truck and should be at the price. However, the charging time seems long. Looking forward to a review on charging to 80 or 90% after two hours on the road (typical time to take a break when driving, at least for me).
The livestream was great fun. I predicted 290 miles, so by The Price Is Right rules I lost because I went over.
At 1:31 you said you set the tire pressure to 38 PSI but I'm pretty sure you meant 48 PSI. Later the truck showed 49/50 PSI on screen :)
I just got my R1T and love it so much. I have noticed an odd, somewhat off-putting noise when going 60 mph or higher. It is a very subtle whir/hum that is constant when doing interstate driving. It definitely sounds like a noise from the motors. Rivian support asked me to take a video of the noise, but it is too subtle to pick up on video. In general, I absolutely love the sound of the motors, but was curious if anyone else has noticed the same thing at higher speeds. I am not sure if I should be concerned or not.
To further elaborate, it seems to be when I am "coasting" in the vehicle. I understand there is no coasting with 1 pedal driving, but it is the best description I can provide. Like right between when it is using regen and when it is accelerating. Essentially maintaining speed.
I have this as well. They stated they couldn’t replicate my concern at Service Center. Probably normal.
Great test! I finally know that you can get at least 280 miles out of Rivian that is all I need to know. I should be getting mine with the Sport tires I wonder how these will affect the range. :)
"Put it in reverse Terry"... haha. I was cracking up.
How long does it take to charge from 0 to 100%? On a roadtrip you'll never do that. You'd ride the charging curve.
He does that for the EV nerds. The 10 to 80 is the more practical time.
Unless you're towing. Then you may have to charge to 100%. - Ask me how I know......
Im not sure about side winds but what i can say is that even when driving with tail and head wind you are not gonna achieve the same consumption as driving with no wind. This is all because wind speed is squared in the wind force formula.
so take away is 289.3 miles were driven at 2.33 miles / kwh which means that total usable battery capacity is 124 kwh which means that 8% of the battery is capped off to reduce battery degridation.
Thank you for this nice test.
Winds aren't canceled out. Aerodynamics don't increase linearly.
That is decent range but that is actually a HUGE battery. Cost per mile is going to be quite high there especially if you are supercharging.
Looks like size does matter, even if it is an EV. Saw a review of the new Hummer EV, conclusion was it is one of the least efficient EV’s out there.
@@Statimtek still a lot more efficient than any gas truck.
@@mattbrew11 well, yeah. Of course, just not as efficient as most EV's
@@Statimtek trucks are the least efficient vehicles. If you dont need a truck dont buy one
did tesla open their superchargers ? wow nice
That is pretty good! Compared to other competitors that's good
I’m new to EV. Do you use rivian’s onboard screen to look for the next charging network while you’re testing your range? Or you’re using a separate charge app from your phone? How long does it take to charge the rivian to 75% or to 100% for long trip, assuming charging from below 10%. Thank you
In a road trip you probably don't ever want to charge any EV past the 80% mark. The charging speeds are just too slow since they want to protect the batteries.
@@manuelias86 thanks for the tip.
I’d recommend watching his road trip once he post on out of spec motoring. You’ll get a really good idea of how to road trip. He’ll post charging curve on this channel hopefully soon.
It's a little thing, but I really like the eficciency being Miles per Kilowatt hr. It makes the range math waay easier.
Great Video again. Thanks Kyle. Superberb EV.
I have one on order, after my Tesla Model 3 Performance’s “310mi EPA” rating I was extremely skeptical. At 70mph in SoCal I get 220-240mi, no climate. Where I live is hilly and that does contribute, but I was genuinely wondering if Rivian BS’s their numbers like Tesla. Don’t get me wrong I love my Tesla and would buy another one but it’s disappointing I don’t get anywhere near my EPA range. Glad Rivian is being straight forward!
tow with a rivian a 1t trailer and you get 120kms
@@sneakdebeef4796 Luckily for me I don't tow, and the several times I needed to tow were all in-town
Fyi, motor trend got 220 miles at 75mph in their testing of this truck.
@@mechmat12345 Good to know thanks!
A high horsepower FWD midsize truck ! How was the torque steer ?
You are very lenient on the auto cruise function. If I couldnt put the car on autopilot on a STRAIGHT road, id be livid. Dealbreaker for sure
I have been watching your live feeds. So when do you sleep ? Just crazy. You still were able to edit the video and get this up. And j bet you are back on the road today
EPA is tested with the 20" aero tires. well, they say about 15% range loss with the all terrains? Way to put decent number Rivian!
Car and Driver 75 MPH range test listed the R1T as 220 miles of range. That is a huge difference for only a 5 MPH speed increase. is there any insight on the delta shown in the two tests? The 75 MPH test also showed most tesla vehicles's range decreased about 20-30% below the EPA started range at this speed. Only the Tycan did better when driven faster.
Which one would you choose between the f150 lighting and the rivian r1t? Thanks
Curious about range in other modes like comfort? You do a great job, and I know this is a lot of work. Also great live stream. I like watching both the live and this summary.
I think I like the instrumentation. Very Tesla-like. And like the Tesla, while it does use color, it's usually very understated, probably more played down than what Tesla does.
All charged up and ready to go... (and the big thing here is "Tail wind"?)
How about a Cross Country trip to see how long that takes with 270 miles per charge?
Until I can "recharge" my Rivian battery as quickly as I can fill a gas tank, NO THANKS!
My time is too valuable.
Great Video. Keep of the good work.
So, What was the cost to charge this vehicle after driving 300 miles and how long did it take to charge it??
Kyle, do you recommend the phone window mount you use in this video? I’ve had a hard time finding one that stays on. If so do you have an Amazon link to it? I looked in your Amazon items but didn’t see it. Thanks in advance!
Kyle, big question: is there a way to purchase these press loaner cars? If they don't offer them used, what do they do with them?
Great test, and pretty close to what I was calculating. If the email stays true, I should have mine by end of summer
The Kyle dream garage as I envision it. Mercedes camper-Porsche grand turismo electric ⚡️- Rivian R1t - Rivian R1s (for dogs) and quirky city car electric I know not which
you always bring great content and hardworking.
But i think this video can be 16 minutes shorter if you just go straight to the point of the range test.
The most important question - how does The Wall sound on the Meridian system?
Unbelievably good. I was just listening to it yesterday. (I was checking this video for range before going on a big trip and like your taste in music).
in nyc that thing would last like a week on a full charge which is great
I would probably do the dual motor with the bug battery and the efficient wheels
Perhaps one day we will have Rivians here in Australia.
Thanks for all your and your teams hard work making these videos, greatly appreciated. Cheers
@Out of Spec Reviews any chance a test was done with the bed open fully versus closed? Now that the tonneau is a optional item I would love to see what it might do to the range on those without the cover...
i hope they will add darkmode :/ for both displays !
I own a Tesla Model S and have a Pre-order deposit on a Rivian. Have postponed my spec-out of the Rivian as I have begun to lose confidence in Rivian. Hope they get their act together.
Hi,
Do you know what material are gear tunnel walls, floors and opening plastic cover made of? PP, PE, etc.?
What is the difference between Out of Spec Motoring and Out of Spec Review? I found this channel on Out of Spec Motoring where in a video there you told us that the videos would be concentrated on this channel, now you are mentioning that you will upload an analysis on the Out Of Spec Motoring. It is becoming a bit confusing to me, would you mind to clarify? Thank you.
Out of Spec Studios is the parent organization. We run multiple channels including OOS Motoring which focuses on Road Trips. OOS Reviews focuses on reviewing all types of cars. We also have OOS Scootz which focuses on MicroMobility as well as the OOS Podcast among other channels. Hope this helps and thanks for watching!
@@dconner9 Thank you David!
@@marcobusch of course!
How long to charge from 0-100%?
