It's been fun testing, but found the one for my needs:

Rivian R1T LE Quad
F150 Lightning XLT Large Pack
Hummer EV
Silverado EV WT
Cybertruk Founder's Edition "CyberBeast"
Rivian R1T Large Pack Enduro DM

It is a really good truck.

Thank you Rivian.

I'm waiting for an "actually Max Pack" Max Pack to upgrade from my Quad. I'd also give up a "full back seat" for an "extended cab style" smaller back seat and have a larger bed. Maybe the R2...

Kyle must have been ill the day they filmed this. 22 minutes is a miracle.

I love the Patagonia truck aka Rivian R1T!

Finally, one of his videos I could watch. Love his content, just never have an hour to kill. Appreciated the speediness of this review.

Now seeing the Cybertruck side by side with the Ford and Rivian, surprised it actually looks smaller than both. May be longer, but definitely narrower and lower. Haven't driven one, but seems like the seating position would be lower, losing the "truck" height I like in terms of seating position and height.

Also, now seeing them all together, the Cybertruck is even uglier than I thought. Also not a fan of Tesla's very minimalist interior. Between the interior and exterior, despite Tesla building the best EV's on the planet, would never buy one. I miss the original Model S. Was a perfect mix between a real car and the future. Even I could get over that, the lack of stalks is a deal breaker for me too, as is no screen in front of the driver. Oh, and not being able to see out of the back window.....Really!?!?. Only Elon would think of something like that. He wants to be different just for the sake of being different. Definitely too many deal breakers for me, aside from it being fugly!

Narrower from front and rear. From rear, just looks like a box.

I actually prefer the CT front clip up to the windshield over the R1 (too bulbous) after that the CT it is just too dumpstertruck.
I think they lost a lot of sales with the small pack but who know's there is an incredible amount people that buy into the hype.

I forget if Kyle has Underbody shield or not on his Rivian? I thought he did not and he still prefers his R1T other the others?

Well he said he only has 10 min so haha.

The Lightening is really cool and lots of cool stuff. The power tailgate and the integrated step is rad.

video was too short I didn't even watch

This is one of the more important and obvious videos to make, but this is the one he rushes through?????

Conclusion is kinda obvious though:
F150: Best choice for workers and larger families
Rivian: Best choice for adventures and suburban daily drivers
Cybertruck: Best choice for posers and hipsters.

With the shortest range, CT is a hard sell right now. The tech is very neat but not enough to overlook the small battery. Definitely something for everyone.
