It's kinda neat to see these guys that are full time truck/suv reviewers just get gobsmacked with it. Apologies if duplicate I searched and didn't see it.

This was an amazing review that presents an everyman view of the R1t without losing the viewer in loads of technical jargon. I think my wife will find this to be a very convincing justification for why I've chosen Rivian for my next vehicle. Thanks for posting this!

For you 'EVs solve all our problems' fans it is reviews like this that should be music to your ears. The compromises are melting away and EVs are attracting those of us in the great unwashed who like the things because they are great vehicles with strong advantages over their combustion counterparts... :rock: :rock:

Yeah, I really like this one when I stumbled across it (another "Subscribe after viewing" channel).

Great video, love the term "Gobsmacked" that Trekkie used.

I liked hearing his interest in different parts of the vehicle, but as a review it's kind of disappointing because he's just listing off features and splicing in the same B-roll we see in every review. The better reviews IMO feature new footage from a reviewer walking around the vehicle and showing things from a new perspective, with different interior/exterior colors, etc.

Curious how he was selected considering how few subscribers he has (no offence, it's a great channel deserving of more). But that said, it was a great video!

I think the criteria was everyone except TFL. ?

from what I can tell by looking at the channels that got access, they were either EV Centric (Transport Evolved, EV Insider), offroad specific, or a blend of Tech/EV, or just Tech Centric.

TFL....Those Forgotten Lads. Can't believe they made a second video about how they didn't get to review it.
