I’m backkkkk. What do you want to see / know?

[GOFAST]

I did a test drive recently. Tons of leg room in the back. I’m 5’11, there was 4 or 5 inches of space in front of my knees. The back seating position is elevated and you have a great view. Really impressed with the back passenger experience.

Thanks! This helps. The last thing I’m looking to do is buy a truck for $75K and find out after the fact the family doesn’t fit or prefers our SUV for travel.

Updated with more measurements.

Messed around with my 360 camera today. No talking just figured it would be cool to “take a ride”

I am shocked that no one has commented on your dog being in the gear tunnel and sticking his head out of the pass through. Genuinely curious, is he comfortable back there? We have a smaller dog and I feel like it would be the perfect spot for her.

I am a tall person and not very flexible at this point. Can you provide measurements and pics that would address ingress and egress from the driver's side? Specifically, what is the maximum vertical height of the driver's side door opening (sill to top) and how high is the driver's seat (in the lowest and most back position) above the sill. Thanks.

I’m 6’3 275 and fit behind myself with some extra room between the front seat and my knees.

Please add your YT channel (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCmLlmp2HWauyp-mW9QA7qbg) to your signature or to the first post so people know that if you get to 1k subscribers you can do a live video.

I feel this would be much easier for you to navigate than how much is currently going into this thread. TIA

Just added it to the FB group so he should see a lot more subs, as of this morning it was 680s I think.

shes a 1 year old husky that’s a bit smaller. She’s weird so I think it’s comfy for her

How small is she? Our Husky is about 55 pounds.

Does Spotify show up on the front display (kinda like how Tesla has it in an X/S)?

Watching your Driver+ video the whole right side is ripe for media information and speed could move to middle top or bottom.

TIA

I want to join the chorus of "Thank you"s from everyone. It's awesome all the information you're sharing with us.

I have a question. I'm watching your "Impressions after 4 weeks" video - and a few times you mention something to the spirit of "when you press on the accelerator it just shoots off like it's on rails"

Now, I've only driven ONE EV vehicle - my First Drive with an R1T. I had assumed that the 3 things I noticed as majorly different from all my ICE driving were unique not so much because it was a Rivian, but instead because it was an EV vehicle (1-Regen braking; 2-direct connection between accelerator and speed; and 3-the amazing acceleration when you step on the gas "shot out of a cannon").

But your comments in this video makes me wonder if all those things are unique to ALL EV vehicles, or if there's something special about the Rivian. I don't expect you to answer that for all EV vehicles, but I believe you also own a Tesla Model S. How different is the Rivian in your opinion - in terms of driving experience?

Thanks so much!

its All about delivery of power and a lot of it is software related and BMS related. I’ve driven pretty much every EV in the market (except a Lucid Air) Tesla and Rivian nailed their acceleration modes. The Mach-e delivers too.

the throttle response in Sport Mode in the R1T is reminiscent to the way Tesla does it. It’s the most direct feeling you’ll get. The way the Rivian puts the power down is great. I can’t really compare it to the Plaid because… that’s just a scary car under full acceleration. Both feel incredibly quick but the way they accelerate is very different. Both drive great, it’s just different

That’s great! If you have time I would love to get your experiences with how the infotainment screen and driver screen interact with sending/receiving calls and text messages and how that experience is overall. Has there been anything that you just didn’t expect that has just blown you away? Thanks for sharing your experience!

@Iwantatesla Thank you so much for all of your insight and time. This is all very helpful! I’m sorry if you addressed this issue in a prior response, but, I’m very interested to hear how texting and calling is integrated via Bluetooth.

 

[kanundrum]

@Iwantatesla is there an option to order a 2nd set of wheels and tires maybe you can check with the remote service team about?

Clarification - I like to see the number of inches from the most outer point of the driver's side door to the most outer end of the passenger door. With both doors fully open.
