Sandy’s probably not close enough to a Rivian service center to qualify for a delivery ?

That intro ... it's been a long time since I've gotten motion sickness.

Ford is doing a great job in laying the groundwork for the Lightning on multiple fronts.

Great to see independent news outlets getting some time with legacy automakers' EVs.

Interesting to see he compliments the Lightning's lighting: I do like the lights under the frunk. I know the R1T gear tunnel has lighting: does the R1T/R1S frunk have that?

At least we have the flashlight in the door, though, but integrated lighting would be top.

Sandy should have an excellent time with Rivian; will be curious what he finds that we likely wouldn't have noticed. Particularly eager to see how Rivian, either implicitly or explicitly, responds to his suggestions for a potential R2S or R2T.

Best part of the video? Ford is going to look after their fleet customers too. No waiting on the cheaper models, which is great to hear

Rivian is doing that as well. Ref. the Amazon vans threads ?

Let’s get a RT1 in the hands of Sandy now.

I emailed Cory at Munro. He said they have a LE pre-ordered!

While I'm looking forward to the tear down, it's a shame they'll be doing it to a Launch Edition.

I hear ya, but I’m so looking forward to Munro taking a R1T apart. I want to see what they have under the skin…battery design, kinetic suspension, motors, etc.

Would love to see a Ford Ranger equivalent Lightnening

I just had this conversation with my wife last night. If they produced a Maverick based BEV, I would totally be in.

This highlights one of my biggest concerns about Rivian.

the lack of youtubers that have gotten unfettered access to one. Out of Spec Motoring, Sandy, Transport Evolved, TFL, and many others I don't meant to slight by not listing. I mean GM let Marques Brownlee poke around the only two Hummers that are in existence.

The last 'walk throughs' I can find are from the 2019 shows pre-covid, not to mention the ones that are just voice overs of rivian footage.

Your biggest concern is…youtubists not having unfettered access?
