[Out of Spec Reviews] The Rivian R1T Has Arrived And We Answer All Of Your Questions!

[SeaGeo]

Our most common road trip is Minneapolis to Tacoma. It will require some serious planning for awhile! ? If it's even possible right now.

One of mine is to visit the in-laws in Austin. Not having chargers through MN and the dakota's is a great excuse not to visit.

Seems possible.

lol. that's only an increase in 6 hours of driving.

At least a fun vehicle to drive. ?

That is wise. Alexa is kinda like GOD, all knowing, all powerful and even if you don’t believe in her, she knows what you did and sooner or later, she will make you pay. So you may as well get along

Dear Kyle,

Thank you for answering my questions. I only asked about your inseam because it helps with determining proportions for a certain height. For example, I have a 36 inseam and am 6'5. My inseam makes me proportionally have longer legs and a shorter torso and so I would need more legroom than someone who has shorter legs and a longer torso at the same height.

Also, you mentioned you are 6'1 which is 4 inches (well above) the average height of a man in the US which the CDC lists as 5'9. Don't sell yourself short (that also makes you unofficially part of the mini-Sasquatch club).

When you buy a pair of pants, the inseam is usually printed on the label along with the waist size. You should probably know your inseam if you ever shop for pants again.

You mentioned your dad is 6'5. Any chance he's driving the R1T during your week with it? I'd love to hear whether he is comfortable driving it.

somehow I understood this (36 inseam as well granted I’m 6’3). You’ll be fine but you’ll have to move the seat back slightly more than usual

I have one and I can’t even say I’ve ever tried because everything is so easy otherwise.

Polestar is amazing. So thoughtfully built, and Android Automotive is amazing. I wish it were in more cars. Really makes the Tesla I test drove feel like an econobox. Unfortunately I don't think I can justify an optioned out Polestar and a Rivian. Maybe some day.

You just be further ahead in line than I am. I bought it when they announced 25k production this year, figured as a June 21 I’d be somewhere behind that and the polestar makes sense for now.

As someone who uses Google Assistant daily, I'm a bit sad that I'll have to give my data to Amazon too. At least Alexa is about as good as Google Assistant. If we had to rely on Siri we'd never get anywhere.

Brutal, since the trans-canada highway is nowhere near as nice as the major interstates(surface is worse, speed limit much slower).

We will be seeing some amazing content soon.

EA has stuff getting installed along i90 right now. I believe the station in Wall is online and they’re scouting the remaining to close the gap between there and the two they have going in MN.

The two under construction in MN is Worthington and Albert Lea. So after this summer (I hope) it would just be the South Dakota side and probably the bits in Wyoming? I’m a little unfamiliar that far out. That much of a road trip with my kids sounds not great currently so I haven’t looked that far.

Oh, I know

For some reason Sioux falls is a gap. And then they haven't shown a "coming soon" between Gillette and Butte. Hopefully that gets filled out soon.

Surprisingly Wyoming seems to be making decent progress!

Cmon you know he didn’t that out. That’s not cool.

Having watched all Out of Spec videos and being a subscriber to his (multiple) channels, I’m sure he’s devastated.

Looks like Conserve helps a little, but since the weight and aerodynamics are not changed it has limited benefit.
