Enormous amount of grab handles, to make it easier to get in and out

glares at his R1T

Oh come on. God dammit, Rivian.

Just giving a good look at that thing and I'm hoping Rivian will one day offer it to the public. I'd love to make it into a camper.

Look at (Canoo) even better

A commenter on Doug's video claims to be getting one, but is a Rivian employee.

I would live in one.

I’m interested in the van, but not 30 minutes of video interested.

At 2x playback it is only 15 minutes…?

The takeaway for me is that the same thoughtful choice process that I like about my truck got applied to the EDV, which seems unsurprising I guess. Would be amazing to see these kitted out with bigger batteries and a little living area. A certain segment of the vanlife folks would go apeshit for that kinda thing. Heck, a little "ERV" would be pretty sick for most folks.

I'm not sure I have 15 minutes of attention span either, at least not until I go back to work in a couple weeks and have 12 hours to kill on night shift.

That is short for a Doug Demuro video

I want that custom climate menu where it looks to be directly controlling heat vs. cooling.

Did anyone else, in seeing the ease with which that rear cargo door opens and closes, have pangs of envy for their tonneau cover?

Don't get me wrong here, I like Canoo, but you can't stand up and walk inside of it. Heck you can almost run laps inside the big EDV.

Would be really interesting to see a passenger variant of this for things like airport/corporate shuttles etc. It would probably have to be a new body design, but given the platform flexibility I wonder if it's a market worth looking at.
