Haven't watched this video yet, but he drove the Hummer after the Rivian, said he liked the Hummer would be his choice between the two, So him saying the Rivian is the winner is a big deal to me.Meh. The problem with these youtube reviewers is every time they drive a new EV they claim it's the new best car. Even the major publications tend to do the same.
You can watch all of his EV videos in order and each time he'll say it's the best EV available. I don't think many of these reviewers daily an EV and so they're always shocked with how much better it is than an ICE.
Not discounting the R1T but I'd take youtube reviews of EVs with an extra spoonful of salt.
He actually addressees this in the video.Haven't watched this video yet, but he drove the Hummer after the Rivian, said he liked the Hummer would be his choice between the two, So him saying the Rivian is the winner is a big deal to me.
Young people are easily influenced by popular yougoobers etc, so I think they actually hold a decent amount of sway. I’m old enough to not give a darn what others think. ?Meh.

Ha! I’m sure the “Adventure Hole” name was summarily disqualified by Rivian’s Marketing Department. Now if Elon were in charge, Adventure Hole would have been embraced as it dovetails well with Fart Mode!Also winner of #4 quirkiest quirk of the year. Congratulations to the adventure hole / gear tunnel!
Most people say you have to look at it in person to really appreciate it. I live in LA so I will drive over to Rivian center in Venice Beach to make my final decision on color since $2500 is a bit of an upgrade. Hope you get a chance to look at it live.I go back and forth on wether Rivian Blue is worth the upcharge, his pictures of it make it look pretty bad, others are much better.
I was surprised that he said the hummer EV would be his choice and he rated it a 73, which matched the highest score he had ever given a vehicle. I haven’t seen this video yet but surprised he would rate the R1T the winner given his previous comment on the Hummer. I personally think the hummer is more of a specialty car and not something you could daily drive given its size. It would probably not fit in most people’s garage. Plus, considering that all Bolt cars were recalled because they could spontaneously combust, I don’t know that I would be willing to spend over $110k on an EV from GM so soon.Haven't watched this video yet, but he drove the Hummer after the Rivian, said he liked the Hummer would be his choice between the two, So him saying the Rivian is the winner is a big deal to me.
Have you watched his two R1T videos? He was nuts for the truck and at the end of his review said “I want one” which he doesn’t usually give that type of endorsement. Rivian also gave him the truck for a few days. GM supervised his Hummer review.I was surprised that he said the hummer EV would be his choice and he rated it a 73, which matched the highest score he had ever given a vehicle.

Just recently visited the hub and only launch green and el cap were there in terms of color.Most people say you have to look at it in person to really appreciate it.
