I'll give Sandy credit, he's driving it like it's a 20k vehicle.

Teardown Preview
Terrifying to watch! Been waiting on mine for ~15 months and to watch that truck get slammed onto those logs was too much!!!

Don't worry, It's all in the name of Science and YouTube views!

Edited the post to include the teardown walkthrough
“I think that Rivian really should look at jacking the price up.” They’re way ahead of you, Sandy… 🤣

I like the magnetic snap ins, seems much less wasteful.

Yeah I laughed when he said that. Thought to myself "wait, does he mean more than the recent price jump?"

I think he does, he said it should be a 100k truck. If you configure the one he has right now it is 85k so that is around another 18% increase.

I think he's been dipping into his secret frunk cooler during the day for some "Adult Beverages"

I think he is just used to the Tesla Model S/X pricing.

To me with the new Rivian prices they are right about where they should be. If you build a LarIat with similar options it is just over 80k and a Platinum is 90k.

No, earlier in that video he talked about the price of that LA “Sliver” LE truck being $74,000+, so he’s clueless that Rivian raised the prices effective 3/01/22.

Yes he does. But Rivian probably can't sell R1 at capacity if the ASP climbs above $100K. Although inflation adjusts the $100K, of course.

“One of the problems Sue and I have is finding charge ports that actually work on it … So the charge port is cool. Its a great idea. But I’m not thrilled.”

Lol. Great analysis.
