I ran into Kyle at this event. I watched so many of his videos, I felt like he's one of my buddies. I literally ambushed him and started asking questions about the Cyber truck and some issues that I'm having with mine. I almost didn't introduce myself 😅😅😅. He was gracious enough to answer my questions. . Thank you Kyle!
@@Serrol_ But less weird that paying that much money good money to drive around an absurd billboard to how much you want to service elon's little unit.
Kyle, it was great to meet you at this event at the Denver Space. It was also great to meet Gardner. What a great story about his beginning with the PPIHC. I continue to be so proud of him, and Rivian. Just a little tidbit of trivia if you will. Last year, at the opening of the Denver Space, I got to meet Tony, and I told him about Gardner, and him racing his personal R1T up the mountain. I told him I thought it would be good to have the executives from Rivian out to support him this year. Little did I know that they would take that advice, and surpass everything about it, and create a whole new department within Rivian. I continue to be so proud of everything that Rivian is doing. Congrats again to Gardner on great runs two years in a row. I cant wait to see what you do next year.
Love to see that storm blue/slate sky + walnut interior RS1 in the background!! I just ordered that spec a couple weeks ago with a tri motor and 22" sport dark wheels.
Glad your there and with Alyssa too. Its cool to let the dogo move around it good for people that watch and went something else we are all interested in. Really happy about the interview. I saw the race up and i saw those squarely times.i wonder what he was looking and turning in the top right, it threw his memory it looked like. What a great driver.
It's the right motorsport area for Rivian to be in. Great job. Running a production truck says so much more than an F150 that has no resemblance to what is on the lot. It's GT and Rally all in one.
Congratulations Gardner! That was an exhilarating and terrifying run to watch. You and the entire team of talent from Rivian have SO much to be proud of!
Really love the interior of this thing, happy to see VW invest in rivian, hope rivian grows up and comes in more places like Europe, their upcoming small ev is awesome and would fit perfectly on our roads
Might be time to make a checklist before recording. This is the third I watched in a row that had audio problems because of forgetting to turn on or connect mics. I’m super forgetful myself, so I rely on lists to mitigate that. Kyle seems to like technical solutions, so make an apple shortcut that you can put on your Home Screen that runs through a few on-screen prompts before switching to the recording app, so that you don’t forget to consult the list.
As the previous owner of a new ‘70 VW Combi Van with a 4 cylinder engine that required a running start to get up hills… My dream would be an I.D. Buzz on a Rivian Quad Motor Platform! ✌️
Walter needs to be in every car review to show if he likes the trunk. I got a bernese mountain dog and wonder if the tesla model y has enough hight for him when he sits.
That looks like an oddball build. It's a G2 Quad, which should only be available in the "Ascend" package, but it has the front bumper of the base "Adventure" dual-motor standard battery, it's missing the tow hooks that come standard on every "higher than the absolute base" G2. I can't imagine the tow hooks would have made any meaningful difference in the Pikes run, especially since they put the screw-in tow hook in!
I don't know anything about racing, but I'm curious seeing some photos from the race, the tire pressure was in the 20s, that surprised me, does that give better grip? is the downside just that it's bad for tire longevity?
“New” slate blue colour …………. that’s the exact same colour scheme externally as my new 2024 Mini Countryman S E Sport (read Electric JCW) 65kWh except BMW Mini calls that bluish grey shade “Smokey Green” in the UK
Just watched this guys run up Pikes Peak and it was sketch city! He’s a great driver but that truck never seemed planted when compared to competition cars. Quit whilst you’re ahead.

Gardner's run was beyond impressive and what a cool and humble guy he is. 👍
Crazy. Torque on that thing is nuts.
This guy is so cool. His run was awesome to watch, what a driver.
Dude, your videos are awesome, keep it real

Fantastic interview and a completely bad ass run....
Since they are now together with VW I am very happy and hopeful that they will be in Europe too somewhen! Love Rivian through Kyle's eyes and tests.
Yeah exactly, really hope it comes to Europe, I won’t be able to buy one but I want to see them here 😂

Sorry for photobombing your video Kyle. 🤪
It was good to meet you, Gardner, the Rivian team, and Walter. My wife fell in love with Walter.
They should make these stripes a factory option
I'm having my R1T Quad wrapped tomorrow with the same design... It's so cool!

Thanks for posting Kyle!
Great interview. Thanks Kyle!

I hope it will appear in GT7 soon
When do we get to see these runs?
Rivian is the future in EV. Cant wait to buy R2
Massive understeer but that made it kinda fun to watch.
I love your dog!
wrap on that R1T looks kinda Porschie. like it
Fun fact - they are a company now since VW is investing big time into Rivian, Porsche is part of the VW group - voila
@@bavariancarenthusiast2722 LOL...they were a company WAYYY before VW.
The Bosch motors breakdown randomly, well at least one of mine did.
Man, so cool.
I was interested until i found out the new interior is only available on the tri and quad motor.
Remember when that little Newfie was just a ball of fur? 140lbs later....

Electric so called green vehicle uses oil to help it run better and more reliably.
It’s Olive oil! 😉

Walter needs more screen time

I hope they bring out clothes with that color scheme

How are they enjoying the German cash 💵😅
