Their complaint about efficiency at the end feels undeserving. I don't think any other EV this size achieves nearly the same mi/kW. Hummer, Lightning, G wagon....Driving 80mph on the highway is going to eat up the battery in any SUV. I might do it anyway, but I'm not gonna complain about it!
Yes. I am also not happy about the efficiency but what other ev of this size can beat the efficiency that this vehical is achieving And is capabal of doing what this vehical does at same time.

The 2024 upgraded model 3 LR stereo is great. Not as clean as Meridian on original R1S but most people would like the additional bass for pop/rock music.

B&O in Fords and Bose in GMā€™s are complete trash. Changed them all out historically.
The Atmos update has completely transformed the Meridian sound system. Itā€™s the best sound system (in Atmos) that I have personally ever heard. Really disappointing that they donā€™t offer it anymore.

These guys are always sort of passive aggressive towards EVs.
If you watch their other videos, they are passive aggressive towards a lot of vehicles, not just EVs.

Ohh snap! I wonder how much help they needed or if they took any bypasses? R1S definitely has the superior break over angle compared to R1T.
Yes, but if I go off road, I would want something with a spare tire. I even want a spare tire when I'm not off road.

I agree....it is amazing. I still hope that Rivian gets a proper system into the Ascend trim levels before I decide I need a G2 or G3 Quadmax.....

They explain, as we know, that Rivian prioritized performance (both capability and raw acceleration) over efficiency for the flagship R1. So this is not a surprise.
It's definitely much easier to do the raw acceleration thing than to make an efficient car.
