This is a great review and well worth the time to watch! Thanks again Kyle…

Definitely! This preview is just going to make pre order viewers more impatient….

These videos are honestly doing a huge service for Rivian since so many of us are buying without a test drive.

No joke....

The confirmation on the 400v/800v is great to finally get, but it does give me some hesitations with the current charging curve that seems to be out there.

Granted, MN is a charging desert and we're mostly only 50kw chargers around here while EA still figures this state out, so it probably doesn't matter for me for a few years yet.

Yeah, I'm definitely having some hesitation based on what I've seen from the 50%+ charging rate so far...

At least MN has chargers! SD and ND are such a nightmare.

I’m looking forward to his other videos but this video was about 2 minutes of content and 60 minutes of saying what they will cover in the other videos this week. Still enjoyable, but skippable if you don’t have the time.

Over an hour? .

I'll watch it sometime this weekend.

What? Only an hour? ?

I’ll watch it a dozen times this weekend.

Watched the whole thing and I am most excited for when they test the forcefield.

I mean, they went through all of our questions and said they'd try to cover others that they couldn't do on the spot.

Biggest finding was his general impressions, and confirmation of no 800v charging. Couple of other minor things. He really liked Alexa and the audio system.

I had never heard of a vehicle self-leveling for camping but it’d be so simple with Rivian’s suspension. One day…

@OutofSpecKyle FWIW, the 32amp limit on the "portable charger" is because NEMA 14-50 outlets can theoretically be wired on either 40 or 50amp circuits. Because Rivian has no way to know if it's connected to a 40amp circuit, they have to be conservative and cap at 32amps. Tesla's mobile connector is the same, for the same reason -- I believe Gen 1 allowed 40amp, but the current version definitely does not.

If it was capped at 40amps and connected to a 40amp circuit, it would be able to pull its max, but that would violate NEC for a continuous load.

I was really surprised how well Alexa worked. It was really fast, I was not expecting that! It may be worth it to sell your personal information to Amazon just to use that! ?

As far as I know, all vehicles with air suspension self level all the time, I know my Jeep does. I guess I could see a difference if your camp spot itself is on a slope where there could be a difference between the vehicle actually being level or the ride height being even (in other words, raising up the back end to match the front or vice versa) relative to the vehicle itself.

I only watched the beginning of the video, so maybe I"m a bit out of context...

 

[White Shadow]

Anyone else notice how the hood bounced a little "too" much while it was closed when he hand slammed it at the beginning of the video? Makes me wonder if that LE has panel gap concerns or if the frunk isn't closing properly on its own ?

I thought the same thing when the hood wasn't quite lined up as it self closed. Tesla got beaten up pretty badly over panel gaps, but something like a hood is so easy to adjust on most vehicles since they have rubber stops that can be turned in or out quite easily.

Regardless of the amazon incestment, this is why I think it made sense. Every other voice system I've used that is built into cars sucks unless it's produced by Google or Apple. The one in the ID.4 is OK, but absolutely sucks for nav searches.

one of my posts was on the video for like 2 minutes lol. I was like, "Hey that's me!"
