That says a lot for Rivian. Kudos. I like the way that they describe the R1S as the only non-jelly bean SUV with a real third row of seating.

Alex is my favorite reviewer of EVs. A lot of info, concisely told.

thats cool. im sure the R1S is currently right-priced but damn, its expensive. for those of us who got either the R1S or R1T pre-price hike, we got a steal.

I thought the price was crazy low when announced, I was not surprised when they tried to adjust it in 2022. I really was expecting it to be between 100k and 110k. I budgeted a price of 120k when I made my reservation in 2020.

I compare it to my 2016 Model S 75, I paid 75k for it in 2016, with inflation end of 2022 that 75k was worth 91.5k, today it is worth 96k. My R1S is way more vehicle than the Model S.

He is good. Some new people on his team, not so much.

And I thought I was the only one that thought that. Not a big fan of the jelly beans.

Alex on Autos carries a lot of weight for me, unlike some other "reviewers."

His videos are watchable, packed with great insights, and he gives genuinely unbiased reviews.

I am sure that is the consensus here.




Until, Alex gives a Rivian a bad review. LOL
