The smaller size is really evident in the video. It moves different and the proportions are different. You wouldn't mistake it for an R1S. The way it flows over bumps is different. It doesn't have the "majesty" of the R1S, which is the whole point. I want to see more.

Shorter wheelbase and conventional suspension, which means less time [between front and rear axles] for suspension and body to settle. But, it still looks very controlled. But the toll roads near Rivian HQ are not very bumpy. They just have the expansion joints that go all the way across.

Au contraire. Social media has taken over and normalized vertical video. Camera-makers even started making vertical-first cameras. Zuck stole an idea and ruined life forever.

So looking forward to a normal suspension. More smooth, less clunk than early R1.
