Well nobody in those videos was sad / pissed off at the company so clearly they are not recruiting people from this community to participate. Maybe next time we'll get picked so we can bitch the entire time directly to RJ about how lame everything is.

I completely agree. They are not recruiting people from this forum who might ask tough questions.

What's the graphic on the right that looks like a children's show?

Edit: I take it back. It looks more like South Park.

It’s either a Sponge Bob house or Alex Caruso’s head from the Lakers.

Nice to see drift mode. Excited to hear about more modes. It would be nice if we can set how much drift we want.

Call me skeptical. So we are to believe, these are real people that back in 2018 watched or went to the LA Auto show and discovered Rivian, put $1,000 to reserve this new electric truck. And yet, several, look like they have little idea of how to drive a car. "So, when I punch it, do I just floor it"? 18 working days left in August till the September deliveries begin!
Seriously, these look like random people they picked up waiting in front of a Safeway to film a commercial. These are pre-order holders?

Another lame ass video. At least let the media get their hands a few to demo so we can get an honest critique.
I am beginning to think that will not happen unless they happen to be pre-order holders. I know some of them are so hope they will get theirs early.

Regardless... Something's better then nothing, but I guess something's just not enough after the delay?

C'est la vie, but we know now what we already knew then and that's Rivian is making progress. The video is just a little perk I guess.

I do agree with what others were thinking, and did get the feeling that the people behind the wheel were not as passionate about Rivian as the people on this forum. I too kinda questioned if they were "selected" (location, family of employees, etc???) rather then early preoorder holders, but a little part of that skepticism I'm sure comes from the fact that I'm not the one behind the wheel and featured in that video.

The saying goes they hate us cuz they ain't us ?

Those people are very fortunate, and I'm just going to wait a little bit longer to be in their shoes. But the truck looked pretty sweet, no doubt about it!
