Tesla charging network is what makes them better than all other EVs. I bought the Hummer but can’t do long trips because charging is slow and not accessible everywhere. 😢
Rivian can use Tesla's Supercharging network with nothing required beyond plugging it in. So, yeah, Rivian using Tesla's charging network makes them even better.
Rivian is very close to bankruptcy so if you really want one you might want to wait and buy it at firesale prices like that Fiskee Ocean Extreme. 65k msrp for 30k.
What good is it when the masses can't afford it. I'm in san diego and Rivian has a facility in the building where I used to work...Cabot Dr...in Miramar. It probably won't be long before the building is out of business. Make them 40k and 300plus range and many will buy.
@@awash7156, I have a reservation in place but my final decision will be made after seeing the feature set and confirming the range is over that magic 300 number. Appreciate the comment.
Most people are not outdoor enthusiasts, so I don't care about that. I do like a nice ride for the city tho. How risky is that glass roof during a vehicle collision?
Do a lot of people buy RWD SUVs? I guess if you live somewhere like FL it’s fine, but I don’t know why anyone who lives somewhere with winter would want a RWD SUV
Wasn't it not too long ago where the CEO said they're going to scale back on the quality of the R2 for cost effectiveness? I'll choose this over a Tesla Model Y all day, but depends how much they scale it down
Can’t charge at work. Can’t charge at home. Sitting in a random chipotle parking lot smelling peppers and regret while charging isn’t appealing to me. Time is money! That takes a lot of time.
If you can’t charge at home, or at work then an EV probably isn’t right for you. It’s an individual assessment and the infrastructure still needs to develop. In the mean time, it’s nobody else’s fault if some people make bad decisions or don’t research before they buy
Likely 5 grand if you went to a dealer. My 2018 Charger Scat Pack screen broke (under warranty thankgod) and it was 3k invoice at the dealer. Obviously most expensive you could pay foe it tho. The charger also had the computer and screen as one part where this may not be so maybe cheaper. Then again it's a Vivian so probably 50k to fix
A face a Mother could barely love The public has spoken, the manufacturers have noticed and adjusted, the infrastructure isn't there....EVs will not replace ICE for a looooong time.
If by chance it has a simple start button that beats Tesla in my opinion. I rented a Tesla and it was a battle just figuring out how to start it. Not to mention locking the door.
Looks good, but they several years away from the reliability of Tesla. Software is everything with an EV. Watch all the channels that test drive them cross country and you will see. Also the Rivian charging stations are horrible compared to Tesla Supercharging network.
Might look good but it doesn’t make money and they lose tens of thousands on it . I rather get a tesla that I know will exist a few years down the line if I need parts .
I feel like there are little confused they have some luxury items and then they have some cheap plastic. Pick a way and just do that. A combination of a nice seat but cheap center console and plastic will confuse the buyers
Interior is great. Everything looks modern, yet calm. Great job Rivian
Joe a real one. He traveled to the future in order to show us this banger, this fine Sunday morning
Speakers in the headliner. Love that feature. My Ram has big ass speakers in the headliner. Sounds amazing on surround sound
Can't wait to see the full review Joe❤
I'm seeing more evs than ever. Seen an R2. Looks solid. Seeing alot of the nissans and toyotas too.
What fo you expect the govt is both mandating gas powered cars be extinct and bribing people to buy evs with our tax dollars.
Don’t think the R2 is out yet.
Only will see more and more as time goes on
I love your work. You bring nice cars and make excellent videos 🇧🇷👊
Thank you so much for this video!
Can't wait to get mine! I've got my reservation!
I think there was 2 glove boxes if I recall correctly
Rivian and Tesla on top in the EV game.
Beautiful!
Awesome vehicle. My reservation is in.
Quality is definitely better

Can’t wait to trade in my Tesla for this.
Just beautiful 😍
That’s A nice Car
More modern vehicles on here! Way to go, Joe!
Can you get your hands on the 2030 model and review it next week? 😊😊
Have a reservation for one. Will see what else comes up by then, but this is looking good. Hope my 2021 Santa Fe can last that long...lol!

@@VanquishedAgainaged like spoiled milk
Wow... like toyota.. Great success..
I think you are so right!
I'm thinking about getting one when it launches.
Love it! I ha e ny reservation. Wish we were closer to that 400 mile range for road trips though.
Looks way better than the the cyberjunk ..

Give me a 2-door version of this!
That’s a nice design!
Looks nice
I like it.
This looks amazing. No way it’s selling for “around $45k”
As someone that has a 100k Tesla, yah I'm trading it in for this.
Better than a Tesla isn't exactly a high bar 🤣
👀🥶🤣😂 No lies detected!
The Chinese are murdering the EV industry.
Rivian? Looks like Pac man met a dog!
@@rodsloane706 But yet it's cool, right?
The problem is, this comapny will not last though.
Better than a Tesla that’s for sure on the looks department
curios if when you were checking it out and sitting in it…what are the chances it is over 6k lbs?
Appreciate the info!
Definitely better than any Tesla
Looks nice, Hope they are still in business.
Wish they had the expected pricing structure
Thank you for this.
Any idea if it has ventilated seats and self driving?
PS: did you say max range is 300? 👎
Yes it has ventilated heated and cool seats. I just watched the reveal in RUclips. 👍🏽
@@ScottParisiand that's in the slow mode lol
@@ScottParisithey don’t know…it’s not in production yet. Most estimates (for most EVs) seem to indicate a sweet spot for 300-400.
@@awash7156, I have a reservation in place but my final decision will be made after seeing the feature set and confirming the range is over that magic 300 number. Appreciate the comment.
Oh I love this car 😅
How bad did it hurt when you smashed your finger ? 😂
I got the quadmotor baby. A motor on each wheel 😂 Just waiting for the septa motor layout
Don't forget this car will come with a native NACS port!!
In 2027 😅
The last time I saw a wood trim on steering wheel is an italian made luisi
Most people are not outdoor enthusiasts, so I don't care about that. I do like a nice ride for the city tho. How risky is that glass roof during a vehicle collision?
How does the single get you the most range at 300 miles per charge when they have one advertised for 410 miles per charge?
Love how everything has to be compared to Tesla.
I was under the impression from other videos that 300+ range will be in all 3 motor variants
Did they get rid of the 4 motor ?
Was definitely hoping for more than 300 miles...
As long as you aren’t flooring it, you can get more range than advertised in my experience driving the R1T for a bit 🤷🏾♂️
Yeah but does it drive itself?
Do a lot of people buy RWD SUVs? I guess if you live somewhere like FL it’s fine, but I don’t know why anyone who lives somewhere with winter would want a RWD SUV
That is a great question pete!
Wasn't it not too long ago where the CEO said they're going to scale back on the quality of the R2 for cost effectiveness? I'll choose this over a Tesla Model Y all day, but depends how much they scale it down
I’m waiting on this one. Just hope it’s not 60k- 70k
The Scout suv looks better. If they had a gas hybrid version, I'd probably consider one... full electric is at least 5 years away for me.
Forget speed, how far can u travel in a full charge
Tesla fir life
Ty
Cooled seats?

@@awash7156 Yep, EV’s only represent about 8 percent of cars sold in the U.S.
92 percent of people have made their choice not to use them.
@@drumflip1253you should have been in that 92 percent
I don’t own one or use them. I’m in that 92 percent who does not have one🤟
Is there a sunroof that opens up?
No there is not.
Super nice but man give me a stationary cup holder.
Omg that finger !
Same size as a Forester?
Don’t like that one screen to control everything…I would love to know how much that would cost to replace out of warranty? No thanks
You are not the first to say that.
Likely 5 grand if you went to a dealer. My 2018 Charger Scat Pack screen broke (under warranty thankgod) and it was 3k invoice at the dealer. Obviously most expensive you could pay foe it tho. The charger also had the computer and screen as one part where this may not be so maybe cheaper. Then again it's a Vivian so probably 50k to fix
After watching Elons antics of late I’m ready to sell my Tesla and buy an R2…. Yes please !! 😎
🔥🔥 🔥think it’s time to buy and invest in Rivian now. The stock explosion is coming.
way nicer than Tesla. only thing they need to improve is their wheel designs
A face a Mother could barely love
The public has spoken, the manufacturers have noticed and adjusted, the infrastructure isn't there....EVs will not replace ICE for a looooong time.
Guy’s head was designed for vertical video 👌
HUD available?
0-60 in 3 seconds? That’s the fastest way to meet your maker if you’re not paying attention and firmly gripping that steering wheel.😂
but does Rivian have fsd?
That is a very food question.
Why are people concerned first with the screens, lights, and cupholders. I'm concerned if I have to repair it. Anyone else?
Joe hates tesla more than anyone ever can 😂😂
I wasn't sure about that 'till I saw him driving that Cayman RS, then I knew.
Imagine a Comprehensive claim in a hail storm in this bad boy.. sheesh.
Don’t get one if you live on the front range in Colorado.
If by chance it has a simple start button that beats Tesla in my opinion. I rented a Tesla and it was a battle just figuring out how to start it. Not to mention locking the door.
Well I hope people like it. I do own a few shares of Rivian.
it is absolutely beautiful, but not trying to reach people like me, this is out of my budget. A model 3 I can afford this not so much
Is 2026 actually going to happen, and WHEN in 2026???
RIVIAN is great! Our 2003 R2 is still running flawlessly with 493,000 miles!
There is no “2003” Rivian “R2”!

Did he say 2026?
Idc about the range… I’m just gonna slap a deal generator charging system on it anyways 😂🤣🤣🤣😂 should be an option from the factory.
Interior is meeh
Still the stock democrats that the market doesn’t have confidence in this brand… hope it gets better, I lost a lot for buying its stocks.
Is that a 2026 ???
Might look good but it doesn’t make money and they lose tens of thousands on it . I rather get a tesla that I know will exist a few years down the line if I need parts .
Still boggles my mind people think Tesla is a premium car.
One of the most uncomfortable driver seats ever in the Model 3.
They drive great. But the ipad controls all is the laziest manufacturing decisions ever. It’s all to pump out volumes to keep shareholders happy.
No talk about the software…..
The only electric cars I ever liked were those tiny jeeps for toddlers back in the 90s.
Sooo Cute!
They about to bankrupt bro.
I feel like there are little confused they have some luxury items and then they have some cheap plastic. Pick a way and just do that. A combination of a nice seat but cheap center console and plastic will confuse the buyers
Looks Tupperware chic.👌
...that'll be $60,000 sir.
With all the sever weather happening how strong is the sunroof to with stand hail
There’s no way on earth this car debuts at $45k. Such a bait and switch
We will see what they do!
2 to bro
But they are bleeding money left snd right. I don't know how long they can sustain this company...
2026 model in 2024 wow
