OP has the Large pack, which is NMC. Only the Standard battery pack is LFP.

I have a 2024 Sequoia. It’s the same V35 v6 twin-turbo in the GX, with the hybrid added on. It’s a very smooth and strong powertrain. I wanted to get a Gen 2 R1T but I need the max pack to tow our boat. I didn’t feel all that great about spending $73k for Sequoia, let alone $94k for the Rivian...

Only the Standard battery is LFP, the Large and Max are NMC chemistry.

Interesting. Most of the anecdotal information I've seen indicates 2.4(ish)mi/kWh is pretty much the all around consumption for the R1S with 22's.

2.38 mi/kWh Isn't that pretty much par for the course in the R1S?

I am pretty disappointed in the quality of product research prior to production of this video. The vehicle access complaints are completely valid. The fob, card, and PAAK should all operate just like any other keyless entry, Rivian has over complicated this. The rest of the video is garbage.

People like to say the R2 is make or break for Rivian, which it is, but I still maintain they need a cheaper R1 trim. I think the R2 looks incredible, but it’s too small for me.

Looks to be really close to the Jeep Wrangler or Bronco.

Does anyone else miss simple vehicles? No texting, no beeping, no steering wheel vibrations because you drifted too close to a line, no phantom breaking.

I am still hopeful for an R1 trim to be released with standard suspension at a reduced cost (revamped Explore trim?). If I could get the Large Pack with coil suspension for the upper $60-low $70K range I would be happy.

If it were me, I would get the quad motor for the sole reason of the extra 26kWh battery capacity.

There's a fighting chance the entry level Scout will be able to reach that price point if battery prices continue to fall. We shall see if Rivian can hit the $45K R2 price as well, they don't have the best track record with holding announcement prices. While you're right, if a person can...

Assuming Rivian can get the service situation under control the R2 is going to sell very very well. It has the right shape and gives off Bronco/Jeep/4Runner vibes while being its own thing. BUT, the Scout is going to threaten any and all Rivian sales. The Scout Traveler is not as large as...

oh you mistake my argument. I don’t necessarily “want” a solid rear axle, I just don’t care that it has one in the slightest. I do like the physical controls, 80% serviceable by end user, locking diffs, exposed door handles, and what appears to be a relatively simple vehicle. Don’t get me...

You do pay for it with handling, but these are also trucks. I want comfort, power, and the ability to tow my boat. I don't need to be able to go around the "ring" in under 6 minutes.

The same people that hate on solid rear axle trucks/SUV"s have probably either never driven one, or haven't in a long time.

This is very true. There's a reason the F150 and Bronco Raptors are regarded as having the best rides in the industry.

R2 and R3 are too small. I, and others, want a vehicle that can tow and meet a variety of needs. The customers job isn’t to figure out how to make the product cheaper. In the US the best selling vehicles are trucks. They can easily make the R1 cheaper by removing the air suspension, hydraulic...

you’re right of course. The problem is the Rivian price point is flooded out of reach for the majority of buyers. The reason the last gen Tacoma was the best selling midsize truck was value. If Rivian can release the old Explore package, at $10-15k less than current offerings, they will make...

I wish they had stuck with the classic Jeep round headlights. Otherwise, great looking vehicle.
