@@kuriakosejim8696 Awesome of course! Cant wait to have it in my driveway. Got an email about a week after saying they were pushing deluvery times out... so mpre waiting. Im pretty sure the one I drove did have a glovebox. I didnt realize that wasnt a feature???
It's an interesting EV SUV, why because it's a usable 3-row EV SUV, yes, I know the Tesla Model X and Y offer 3-rows, but really they aren't for adults, more for kids, its specs are similar to the likes of a Mercedes GLS, BMW X7, Jeep Grand Cherokee L, Audi Q7, and other large midsize 3-row SUVs, one would say it going to cause problems for the upcoming Mercedes EQS SUV (forgot, it offers more storage/cargo than the competition, the front frunk and under floor space in the rear), I will say this Rivian (and Tesla) will eventually have to open up their infotainment system to run something other then it’s OS (just saying, the Chinese customer love to install what they want), ok, they have 3 models, when will they add a RS2 midsize 2-row version of the RS1 and a RS3 compact version or maybe a Maverick compact pickup RT3
I'm sure after how fast the Ford F-150 Lighting was sold out for the first MY, they're planning the Explorer EV. This is for the rich that want something fancy that isn't a Tesla.
I'm not rich and I drive an Ev I don't understand why people keep saying that,you could get a used Ev with 30,000 miles on the Odometer for Only $18,000 dls
@@magallon643 after flooring a tesla plaid that instant torque is what I want, also will be expanding the solar system to 13kw. Considering here in DR we get loads of sun year round (just summer and inferno) then I'll save way more.
I am interested in this, but it is unaffordable for me. How can I be environmentally responsible when they sell SUV that is out of reach for the most people? I guess will have to stick with my 2011 Acura MDX for now.
Ford or some other automaker should have bought Rivian before they got to big to buy. If they let them grow into another Tesla it's really over. They have the most compelling products and ones Tesla doesn't make.
Luxury SUV market, I think they'll give Range Rover a run for their money and rightfully so, traditional auto makers just aren't putting out appealing enough products for young consumers who aren't as opposed to EV as the previous generation of car owners.
Same people who could afford a $500k Ferrari but find it too extravagant and gregarious. They live under the radar, own a multi million dollar home but drive a Prius. This would be their most extravagant purchase. They would not finance but pay all at once.
Did you mean to comment on a Hummer EV video? Even the highest-spec version of this is under $100k. But yes, it is a luxury performance SUV. It isn't meant to appeal to RAV4 buyers, it's meant to appeal to Tesla owners who want a greener alternative to a G-Wagen.
Doing my R1S test drive this Tuesday! So psyched!
How was it
Also is the missing front glove box as much of a big deal as people are making it out to be

@@YoMamasCasa you end up taking delivery yet?
Another awesome review Tim! Thanks
3:02 - You say it has room for 8, isn't the rear row only 2 seats wide to make it a 7 seater?
Eight if someone sits on your lap? Oh yeah! Hubba, Hubba, Hubba!
To be honest, EVs aren't my favorite....but this one really looks nice and also seems quite cool, like it's the only EV I would consider getting
I wish you wouldn’t have been honest….just don’t say that part, it makes you sound less intelligent using meaningless filler language.
@@architecturehappy Just like your meaningless comment... got it👍
This car is so cool!
This Rivian is like the Land Rover of Ev's.

RIVIAN is so neat!

By the way Gas savings alone is making it worth the investment,not paying $7dls a Gallon

@@magallon643 what kind of EV you drive?
Keep trying dear electric, keep trying. Someday you will get there!
$100,000+ those panels better be aligned correctly.
They're not.
What about the trunk?
Where is Brian Cooley?
How to charge the eV off road?
Rivian will be putting charge stations at popular trails and camp areas.

Where’s Cooley? I’d seriously pay a subscription fee for this channel to only use him.
Love the Rivian though!
Os carros da Rivian são elétricos, são mais voltados para caminhonetes e SUV's.
No talk of tank-turn yet huhh🤔
Talk about this car. Way better than Tesla

how about a stripped one for us common folk
PICK EM UP TRUCK 🤔
Well us not so rich guys aren’t buying one any tune soon. If ever. Spend $100k to save some gas? Whatever
7000 lbs???!!!
First comment woo-hoo lol but this truck is great
Here before the poors complain about the price tag like they can buy one.
Who is this 7,000 pound $100,000+ behemoth supposed to appeal to? I really want to meet that person.
Probably the same people who buy the $150k, 6000lb Mercedes G-Wagen which sells like hot cakes.
Same people who could afford a $500k Ferrari but find it too extravagant and gregarious. They live under the radar, own a multi million dollar home but drive a Prius. This would be their most extravagant purchase. They would not finance but pay all at once.
Nice to meet you.
Who is this poor complaining about cars he can't afford like he has a right to an opinion?

But yes, it is a luxury performance SUV. It isn't meant to appeal to RAV4 buyers, it's meant to appeal to Tesla owners who want a greener alternative to a G-Wagen.
No thanks !!!
"Pesky environmental concerns" smh.
The Rivian infotainment is horrible, give up Rivian and fully support car play 2.
