The most impressive thing about the Rivian is how is excels so well on so many different things. It's like 3 vehicles in 1. F150 Lightning is great for work beating, but the Rivian will out tow it, go farther distance, blow the doors off a supercharged Camaro, has air suspension and will travel 5.5" inches higher clearance than an F150 for offroading and a 43" water fording height. It's certainly amazing the capabilities they can pack into one vehicle. Makes me excited for the future.

@harrymills2770 Жыл бұрын

I like the EV idea for local commutes, but I still think they're trying to copy look and feel of gasoline-powered vehicles. I think a smaller, lighter vehicle is something the public might not embrace. One caution I have against EVs is the EM fields emanating from the motors. Might be bad for you. Won't know for another 20 or 50 years. I worry about reliability and durability. I also worry about the manufacture and disposal of these batteries they need. Are we hurting the planet worse, in another way? For that matter, if our emissions ARE climatically significant, might they help keep us warmer if we're actually heading into another ice age? Maybe we were created by the lower animals to run their smudge pots for them, to stave off the cold! "We gave you one job..." says the squirrel.

Seriously, how can someone like the Munros who are so detail oriented be completely clueless that the truck comes with it's own induction charger exactly where they put the other one. Honestly, the wireless charger was one of the biggest positive surprises when I got my truck. Mainly because so many griped about it in the forums and ended up installing 3rd party options. Mine has worked just about flawlessly. I am pretty certain it is phone dependent though. For my Galaxy Note 8, the wireless charger the truck came with is fantastic.

@fpartidafpartida Жыл бұрын

They didn’t miss it. Did you notice who the sponsor of the video was? They make that aftermarket induction add on. The only difference is the aftermarket has magnets, but only works for iPhone. Also, did you notice Sue mentioned “scratches” on the entrance door? Guess what else TWRAPS makes? You guess it, a PPF strip customers can apply themselves for the entrance.

Easy test would be to get a portable AM radio and drive around with it on. From an engineer's perspective it makes sense. The electronics are continuously changing at varying frequencies. AM radio is very sensitive in that regard. Great review and many good tips for Rivian to improve their great product.

The fact hat they're talking about minutia such as hangers scratching the wood tells you everything you need to know. The truck is great in every other way. I honestly was in the process of ordering one prior to their $20k hike (a year or two ago), but they hiked up the price right as I wanted to reserve the car and so I didn't place the order. This is like a more luxurious/electric version of a Honda Ridgeline. If it weren't so expensive I'd own one. Oh well.
