So we encourage you to join (or start) special-interest and regional-based Rivian clubs at: https://www.rivianforums.com/forum/group-categories/clubs-groups.1/
lol hopefully because they didn't get invited
So am I. The motor trend vehicles are fun, but they don't talk much about the truck ??Wha??? They are into electric car and really into offroads these days and I was hoping for one of the best reviews from them!
You beat me to the punch on this one!lol hopefully because they didn't get invited
My guess is that this is a big play for clicks. Not sure exactly how they will spin this, but I have no doubt they will get people to watch a YouTube video with 3 ads and multiple pop ups to find out.Why would they even post that? All press is good press??
"Why we're intentionally making a bad call and not reviewing one of the premier electric vehicles of the last decade" might as well be "Why we're now only going to posting reviews to Vimeo" or "Why we're now only doing reviews in pantomime or via audio dramatization"
Even if it's something out of your control, you, as a media organization (or a parody thereof) don't air dirty laundry or anything that would make you look more imbecilic than normal. Don't give any manufacturer the impression that you belong at the kids table or banished to asshatville.
Dumb dumb dumb.
Incidentally - I'm curious to see why they are intentionally shooting themselves in the foot here. It's like a car wreck.
Never really watched these guys so I don't know their MO, but based on their "game changer" hype around a pretty standard truck, I'm gonna go ahead and say that they didn't get invited to the test drive event so they are putting this video out to capitalize on the lost clicks from not being able to review it and potentially to offset losses to competitors who may have been invited.Why would they even post that?

Tommy, thank you. Again, things like this just make me wonder, why in the world would Rivian not be inviting you and your Dad? I think you all do some great work and was really looking forward to your time in an R1T. Rivian’s loss.Hey all, just chiming in.
For the record we did not get a media invite. In fact the multiple attempts we have made to reach the PR department have gone un-answered.
We have a video coming out tomorrow
explaining this as we have been absolutely SWAMPED with folks asking when our review is coming. Just trying to clarify -Tommy (TFLoffroad)
Can't wait for the review video once you are able to drive it. I like that Emme is driving it again since she doesn't keep anything to herself ?, but maybe she can hook you guys up after the rally for a quick reviewHey all, just chiming in.
