Sounds like part of the problem is the fact that it's the only EV SUV included and the judges are unfamiliar with driving an EV with one-pedal.https://www.motortrend.com/news/2022-rivian-r1s-electric-suv-pros-cons-review/

Rivian also has a much higher price than when the trucks were compared.https://www.motortrend.com/news/2022-rivian-r1s-electric-suv-pros-cons-review/

There are several other EV SUVs in the running, including BMW iX, Hyundai Ioniq 5, Kia EV6, and they also tested MB EQS SUV. Even though I love one pedal driving, I can see why some people might not be crazy about it, and it would be pretty simple for Rivian to offer a coasting option.Sounds like part of the problem is the fact that it's the only EV SUV included and the judges are unfamiliar with driving an EV with one-pedal.
The other issue is that Driver+ isn't hands free yet and they seem to think it is? I'm guessing they probably also didn't take the time to turn on the 'all-the-time' lane centering, as that actually works quite well if you're using it places where you don't have to intentionally hug lines.
The sunroof is going to be awesome for winter time here and was a non-issue for summer time. Sucks that they choose what happens on the hottest day in the hottest area as their baseline.
What even is an SUV anymore?
Worthy winner from what I’ve read about it, but certainly not my cup of tea…
Not that lol . Barely a CUV, more so a Hot Hatch.What even is an SUV anymore?

CarPlay. Glass roof sunblock. There are workarounds for both. We put up with it because of the awesomeness elsewhere.Valid concerns from the R1S review.
