Great of you to give up the 350kw chargers to the EV6's. Wish other drivers were as intuitive as you. But they're not. Which is why I wish Electrify America would place notices on their 350kw chargers to let drivers of EV's that cannot charge past 150kw to leave those for the EV's that can.
Wait USA has ALDI :o
I see some "feedback" from people about the length of the content. I just wanted to say I actually look forward to your videos because they are longer and provide a more rich story behind the product. I like the learning about EV's and also seeing other people's journey. My Tesla currently is in the shop after hitting a deer, so I live through this videos till it returns haha.
I like his longer videos but he has a tendency to waffle at times instead of just getting on with the trip.
ouch yeah i hate deer
The longer the video the better!
To me I see it as the difference between a live stream vs the edited video. If I want to watch the live stream, cool. But if not...
I prefer the longer videos. I play them his videos in the background while i work from home.
This is why I recommend Tesla brand cars when people ask about electric vehicles. Most people don't want to try over and over with charging stations when they fail to charge for whatever reason. Tesla superchargers just work. And they only have a single step: plug it in. No touch screens, apps, cards, anything. It cannot get any more easy to use. We need all the 3rd party chargers to catch up with Plug and Charge so they will work the same way with a single step of just plug in and walk away.
But...If you're looking for a capable off-road EV, Teslas are not going to cut it. Tesla would also most likely void your warranty if they find any mud underneath your vehicle.
Not sure what part of the country you live in... I have never had to wait at a charger, I have never had to unplug and replug (although i considered it today when i was only drawing 30 kWh at my first plug in, and on my way thru before I had 100+ at another stall in the same charger... but I was literally just adding 50 miles to get to the next charger, so i just made a 5 minute phone call) AT ANY TESLA CHARGING STATION... BUT! The one near my house (which i used one time only) had a plug with a bent pin (unusable) the one time i was there. There is one stall with a missing pin on my only 300 mile trip i do more than once a year... for 8 months. So... Tesla isn't perfect, but the problems are VISABLY obvious, no plug, wait, unplug, move.
Best line of the video at 55:20 by Alyssa, Kyle comments on the combustion engine sound and Alyssa quickly responds “The sound of freedom” 🤣
She’s kind of miserable in all the videos
@@Andrew-pw2sy feel bad for Kyle
Kyle, loved your pro-EV road tripper tip 52:00 To order food delivery at the charging station prior to arrival.
I have ordered prior to arrival at a Mexican place across the street from a charger for pick up Prior to arrival as they were getting close to closing time. I thought that was convenient enough.
That is a great idea!
“The sound of freedom” I about died lol. Epic
20:40 :Kyle : “big loud thing going by”.. gets in ,closes door ...Cone of silence ! Nice sound proofing Rivian
13 minutes in and I'm glad I went with Tesla. Love the videos though!
Alyssa is ever the voice of sanity and quite the trooper, soldiering on as she so often does. That said, I wouldn’t have let a loved one pull off solo to the side of the road late at night. Stay safe!
I think Alyssa needs more time narrating BY HERSELF..
The soft acoustic really fits the calming segments of the drive. It’s more apt to see america roll by with soft music.
I like the content on the vehicles, but this guy is a tool. She's a saint for putting up with him.
Comment of the year right there
Hey Kyle, read the room. Alyssa was clearly not liking your rebuttal to her “The sound of freedom” comment. Just because you’re smiling and laughing with your “mobility creates pollution , Blues bored” and Alyssa’s is annoyed
Kyle is always ready to correct Alyssa for the smallest things. It’s super cringe city. Plus she can hardly look him in the eyes. Lots of pain there. I hope they can find a common ground soon.
You could tell she was extremely tired in that section of the video. I don't know how Kyle survives on just 5-6 hours of sleep. He has like way too much energy, lol.
Me personally, I feel toasted with anything less than 7 hours sleep.
@@ArtiePenguin1 yeah little sleep and constant correction from Kyle. Not a healthy environment. Most situations are super cringe.
Poor Alyssa looks tired and bored……
That was pretty cool how when your wife said she was too tired to drive, you were able to pressure her drive for three more hours.
8:00 "This doesn't charge at a super charger", followed by the look that said a phrase I shouldn't type here. LOL. Good luck man.
Karma can be a bitch. Can you confirm if you paid pay or pre 1st March pricing when you jumped the line. Others have said you reluctance to answer this implies you got the $15k cheaper price - definitely a conflict of interest if true.
instrumental music throughout is jammin 💣💣💣
Welcome to Davenport, IA for your first charge! We live just a couple minutes away from that spot. We have a Supercharger just down the street as well.
I saw a Rivian up close for the first time yesterday in Chicago. Very impressive. I’m getting used to the “Cars” cartoon character face. It’s growing on me.
Click the hamburger menu bars on the top left of the front page of the app and you can see state of charge while you charge.
For so much complaining about charging, you could drive 75 instead of 85 and get 25% more range.
800hp truck Max speed 55mph lol
I agree. He is so focused on speed and saving time that he seems to forget that air resistance driving faster is significant. Especially in a vehicle with a larger drag coefficient like a truck.
Nice t-shirt. 😂 “i kissed a dog and I liked it” 😂
That’s no way to talk about Kyle though.
On the series Long Way Up they used a truck to tow the Rivian and charge it. Perhaps the Sprinter could do the same in case of zero power.
This is a great sales pitch for the Tesla supercharging network.
I agree with Alyssa, the dogs take priority..lol
"you can have two(waters)" well if thats not the purest form of love i've ever seen
It seems, in these early days of EVs, that charging outside the Tesla network is dicey. That will change over time. Lots of growing pains coming.
If gas hits $10/ gallon then electric will blow up really quickly. Wouldn't be too hard to add a fast charger to most buildings such as workplaces, gas stations, and restaurants.
Glad life is treating you well. I enjoy your content. It’s real
I enjoyed this video a lot. I saw one of these trucks last night, with the unique headlights I thought it was a Jeep 😊
Crazy to watch a video from a year ago and this same trim is now almost $100,000
Great video Kyle got a question why do u always drive around with a dirty windscreen
Great videos about the Rivian trucks, love it when you test them off-road and in beautiful surroundings.
Any ideas if they will fix problems on charge speeds (kW above 40% charge that drop) and flacky air conditioning? Keep up the great posts! My R1S is ordered and I’m a bit scared about these issues…
I think the option to choose the max charge rate would be good on all EVs.
they do, just not for fast chargers. I understand why you want the option and also why it could become a mass problem
Good news. I remembered the names of your other channels and now I can sub to all 3
Hope you enjoyed the new bridge over the Mississippi, been waiting years for the upgrade.
I feel like I’m in the Marvel Universe, going back in the timeline! Lol thanks for all your videos!
I hope you wrap it in one of those cool Rivian prototype wraps. Those looked really good.
I had that same issue with the AC, and did the full reset and fixed it as well. My wife drives a Mach-e and I have not been able to figure out her reset but have had a need a couple times now.
‘Why is charging hard?’
Because CCS is a list of ingredients and it’s up to each company to decide on how to implement it.
Tesla have the luxury of controlling both sides of the cable.
CCS is an embarrassment to the automotive industry. From the giant wonky plug, unnecessary pins basically unused during DC, slow communication and negotiation. They could do so much better and now we're stuck with it for the foreseeable future.
@@tazeat CCS is the standard and Elon bent the knee in Europe years ago and ditched his goofy plug there. It’s the Tesla plug which which will end up in the dustbin of history. We will never see bi directional charging or 800-1000 volt production cars on the Tesla plug whereas multiple companies will sell you such an EV using the CCS standard today. But good luck with your choice, enjoy your user experience.
@@skyemalcolm Promoting shortcomings of CCS's competitors, does not make CCS any better of a standard. I am far far far from a Tesla fanboy if that's what you're suggesting.
@@tazeat sorry but we live in a binary world, assuming ChaDeMo is dead. Or you’re not promoting CCS or Tesla and you’ve got your own special plug that for some reason the world has ignored. Congratulations on your undiscovered genius and I’m sorry for your frustration. In the real world with real cars, real apps logged into real accounts CCS works just fine in my experience. Good luck with your endeavors, whatever the heck those are.
@@skyemalcolm I'm not a salesman promoting anything? I was merely commenting on the industry's shortcomings in their creation and adoption of the CCS standard. Is it not fair to me to comment on the standard which is currently a not insignificant detractor to public EV adoption?
If you think all the videos of everyone getting errors and having to switch chargers all the time trying to use EA chargers, watching slow negotiations, the slow and inconsistent plug to charge experiences (where even supported), and long waits with the giant plugs, etc to people used to swiping and filling gas in seconds is great for EV's you're kidding yourself. It's not just EA either.
I love your road trip vids! Looking forward to some Plaid action!
One of Tesla's advantages is their charging networks. I see too much suffering using EA and these other crappy networks.
Never as easy as Tesla, these companies really need to figure this stuff out...
38:50 - I would have laughed my ass off if you had pulled up next to a white R1T and it *NOT* be Alyssa!
I had a 350KW charger doing the low rate 33KW, I just changed to the plug 2 and it went up to 77KW, the other 3 chargers were not working at Electrified Canada
Love the truck, apart from the front. Still haven't got used to the weird light configuration. Can probably do what most people need out of a truck.
Divorce anyone? Someone does not like being on camera.
They'd have to get married first.
So many issues, no charging network, tons of bugs, 78k to help them do R&D makes me think look again in a couple years if they are still around.
You always start the EA chargers by typing in the number, does it work by just touching your phone to the charger using NFC so you don't have to type anything in? Seems like it could be faster.
Yes, I believe you can just tap your phone with NFC on the charger. No fumbling with the app, typing in the charger number. I really wish EA would allow you to request an RFID card sent to you in the mail but I guess the app's NFC is the next best thing.
Alyssa looks annoyed af lol
Rightly so. Who would want to drive through the entire night? lol
I seen a lot of videos of the Rivian with charging issues. From different charging station’s. I wonder if it’s the Rivian or the CCS network.
It's EA most likely.
@@laloajuria4678 The truck is limiting due to battery temperature. EA is sending as much energy as the truck is requesting, but the truck is failing to maintain its temperature.
If it’s occurring at multiple stations. That is more likely a truck issue, not a charger issue.
@@laloajuria4678 makes sense /s. Other cars can charge on ea - we’ve even seen that in previous videos on this channel, but this particular car has issues, so logically it must be ea?
@@mustangecoboosthpp3869 I agree. Until the CyberTruck comes out. I don’t think an electric truck can replace a gas truck for hauling or pulling. Everyday use. I would never buy a gas vehicle. They cost too much. But as a former Trucker. Diesel is still the way to go for long haul.
Great of you to give up the 350kw chargers to the EV6's. Wish other drivers were as intuitive as you. But they're not. Which is why I wish Electrify America would place notices on their 350kw chargers to let drivers of EV's that cannot charge past 150kw to leave those for the EV's that can.
At least right now, I'd be chicken to give up a charger that I know works for a charger I haven't tested that may or may not work. If the 150 you switch to doesn't work, and the EV6 is thermal-throttled on the 350, you could be stuck waiting a long time. If I were in that position, I would not take the chance.
31:05 I think that sprinter van is following you, be careful it can be secret police. And some time they have even K9 unit(s) with them...
I really liked that you stopped in East Galesburg. My mom went to Knox College which is closer to East Galesburg than I am right now.
Thanks for the honest video. Very much turned off of purchasing a Rivian after seeing the charging problems. Too many bugs to work out.
I highly recommend that place. No idea what it’s called but it was great. 😂
I'm keeping an eye on all your videos. Specially since my R1T is also a white with green interior and a VIN really close to yours (486X) it's going to be interesting to see what you find about the AC. Mine works fine most of the time, but sometimes it acts weird. I've noticed that I need to depress and then press again the auto button.
Turning off the vents can also help.
Amazing car. I’m working and saving harder now to get one in the future
9:02-9:08 you drove through my hometown
Nice truck. I just don't see myself ever willing to spend that much on a vehicle though.
Couldn’t agree more. I could get a Rivian but don’t want that payment! 😮
It's "your fault" that the truck took you to a station that was broken or incompatible? Charging should be a non-issue in 2022. That's intolerable. Should be as easy as gasoline.
Just found your channel and am enjoying the content so far. I hope to get my hands on a Rivian within the next year so interested in the long term reviews. Also, as someone who grew up in foco and now lives in San Francisco, it’s cool to see home!
Having so much sunshine, solar panels should be installed, going further green
Like the way Alyssa doesn't give a crap about the video :D
How do toy pick it up at the factory and my 2021 preorder has no estimate because of “dealership laws in my state”?
Nice video. Good to see Electrified American chargers are holding up.
The car looks like a Mac, but the software looks like Windows. I was half-expecting paper clip guy to pop up "I see your driving!" and not go away even when you try to swipe it away.
Damn, if only I was in the right job to make this happen Clippy would now be scheduled to pop up on everyone's dashboard on 1 April.
It's actually Bezo's Amazon FireOS powered by Alexa. It seems kinda of trash atm.
Seems that AC issues are becoming a regular thing based on the forums! Hopefully a fix is in the works
Maybe Porsche’s Viper Green? Would probably make the interior look more green too. And would look good with the yellow accents.
This video just makes me glad I have a Tesla and the supercharging network. I road trip with my family and often drive through the night…. Cannot risk getting stuck due to unreliable charging
What was the total cost to travel your 1,000 miles?
Mid American is the local electric company in the Quad Cities.
Breaking-in the stereo? LOL. That's a first
The only ones that make good, decent cars are the Japanese and the Germans - be it gas, diesel, and electric, etc. I have never driven electric cars before, but I think the first and favorite one that I would love to get my hands on would be the Audi e-tron.
What's up with the "tap" stop charging rather than just physically unplugging the fast charging cable? I guess you don't want the extra charge.
What did you decide about the wrap? It's still white!
I love my Model 3 Long Range but damn....that Rivian is sweet...I just don't need a truck. Maybe they'll come up with a off-road, subaru-esque, crossover.....
Do your various boxes on the back of your van block the tail lights?
That's my EV6 around 26:20. Nice meeting you guys!
How much do you pay at the station per complete charge from like 5 volts left? We are looking into buying a Kia ev6 but I would like real life experience from a owner that tells the truth instead of a salesman telling you a lie just to get the sale
@@geezus1201 The EV6 comes with the first 1000kWh free if you use Electrify America stations, so I haven't actually paid for any of the charges yet, but the app does tell you what they would have cost without the promo. It looks like going from ~20% to ~80% at most chargers is about $20, though a few were cheaper (price per kWh is slightly different at each location). Now that I'm home and charging in my garage with a L2 charger it's much cheaper (just depends on your local electric rate).
@@munch9000 So the only time you use fast charging is the drive home from the dealer?
So just caught at 3:40 that this was bought for the pre March price even though you ordered after 1st March. Wow. Talk about special treatment - this is not family and friends.
44:46 I love a good deez nutz joke
An hour to update the software… Trying to decide if it’s worth waiting during the trip vs the amount of time you might save by having a new update…
What? Having the car on while stationary uses range. and you can't fast charge and update at the same time so... it doesn't SAVE time.
@@uhjyuff2095 If it saved 20 mins per charge and you did enough charging stop then it would be worth the time to do the update.
it does charge on a supercharger in Europe :P
Leave the 22's!
Awesome video as always! Did you notice any charging improvements from the software update?
How long does it take your Rivian R1 to charge at home using a NEMA 14-50. 80% of my charging is at home. My Tesla Y can charge over night without any problems. How many miles can you add to your Rivian R1 in 12 hours using a NEMA 14-50. Thanks, safe travels. Guy
the charger that comes with the Rivian is 32 amp or 7.6kwh. So 12 hours is 91kwh which is not a full charge maybe 60 or 70 percent?
@@uhjyuff2095 Thanks, so if you want to charge at home need a higher amp charger on your NEMA 14-50 because of the larger battery. And there is the challenge of larger batteries and heavier EVs.
@@guyg2005 Right! Rivian sells a wall charger that also works on a 14-50 that puts out 11kw. Just note you have to purchase separately.
Is there a tow haul regin option on towing any EV vehicles?
illegal to flat tow EV and is unsafe
How does the R1T have more range than your M3P?
Massive 135kwh battery to compensate for the mediocre efficiency
@@TeddyBearGaming999 Mediocre efficiency... meaning 60 plus mpge?
Did the lawn get mowed?
Is the aircon being used to cool the battery, I know a design engineer on one particular car brand and they will use the AC on the battery pack, he's furious about it because he says the AC drops off to luke warm.
I think it can, but only if the normal radiator fans can't keep up. The ford lightning has very loud big fans with extra cooling for the towing package option. I am not sure if the Ford uses the A/C in that model.
Love these videos. I wish you would bring a reusable container for your Starbucks instead of single use plastic!
I love these longer length videos. Sadly this charging situation does not look great for Rivian. If diesel was affordable and not subject to global market fluctuations i'd be sold on that.
The EA station in Normal, IL is absolutely trash, wondering why Rivian hasn't helped install more?
😏 charging this thing just seems like its taking the fun out of the whole idea.....sorry can't type anymore must charge phone.....😂
This is exactly why most people will NOT switch to electric anytime soon. Public infrastructure (excluding Tesla) SUCKS at best. We are many years away from being where we need to be for electric vehicle adoption IMO.
The reality is that people would have an alternative energy car for a daily driver and a fuel car for long hauls. It’s why Chevy just announced an electric blazer and equinox. Cars for daily life vs fancy luxury vehicles. These folks on YT get paid to lead the pack and push boundaries. The infrastructure will get there soon to allow everyone to travel with electric vehicles.
You drive 90 mph you're likely to lose your license. What in the hell is your hurry? Don't speed, it kills.
I never understood why speed limits are so low in the States...
@@wojciechmuras553 specially on Interstate the Autobahn clone. No limits unless coming through big cities.
Not to mention you burn so much energy with the truck's high drag coefficient. Kyle always seems to be in such a hurry. I'd personally be uncomfortable with less than a 5% SoC on arrival. You always need to have enough room for unexpected traffic, detours, or changes in weather.
Really digging the “Beach, Soft Porn” music vibes…! Great truck congrats; can’t wait for our delayed R1S
Wow that curve of charging really sucks! 8% state of charge? I’d be pulling 250 kWh in my Tesla.
So how do these expensive ass EV get into majority market?
80% of people can’t afford it but just lease?
No Magna sponsorship for this video?
