Oddly enough, I'd never heard of the "Long Way Up" documentary on Apple TV+ until somone mentioned it at a Rivian / cars & coffee event yesterday. I was already aware of Ewan McGregor's interest in electric vehicles after seeing a video of him driving his EV West-converted '54 oval window Beetle a couple years ago. It was fascinating to see the early R1T prototypes used as production vehicles, supporting the electric motorcycles used by Ewan and his friend Charlie. Even more interesting was noticing the split along the C-pillar in the large steel side panels.
I had to go back and re-watch the Rivian instagram story from a couple days ago just to spy a glance of Brian Gase's "#3" VIN R1T... it did not have that same split, which in hindsight was probably a byproduct of those first two vehicles being rushed into production.
Anyone know any other backstory I might be missing there? Any other "easter eggs" to look out for in the show (currently on episode 2)?
