As a fellow Riviot, I’m sure many (maybe most) of us are frequently talking about Rivian to others. I’m actually still surprised, 2 years+ into my interest in the R1T, how often I find folks that have no idea this vehicle exists.

So, I often show YT videos, the pictures on my phone I’ve saved and their website. I mean, I should really work in their sales department, at this point. (You’re welcome, Rivian!)

What are some of your favorite videos to show others? I’d like to save some that are relatively short (<5 minutes) but really cover the details well.
I’m
Thanks!

For me, it is a mix of the Tank Turn video from Christmas Day 2019 or The Cold Weather Progress Report as @Babbuino stated...although he left off a third digit...it was 103mph in the snow. Hahaha. They way that it handles the snow/ice. They just pointed it an a direction and it went willingly, even under speed.

I always thought this one really showed a lot of range and performance capabilities of the R1T. It runs for 2:43

Tank turn video is the one I love the most and would show to someone who was intrigued at Rivian, but not otherwise familiar with them.

I think the Tank Turn video is enough of a taste where either the viewer will become immediately enamored and seek out more information, or they simply won't care and we can both move on with our lives. It's a good litmus test.

Thats the first Bing search I have seen in 5 years... Jeeves is gonna be jealous, but probably not as bad as that weekend I spent with Excite!

Just laziness on my part... I bounce back and fourth between Chrome and Edge, they both are based of the Chromium open source platform.

If you type the text in the address bar of the Edge browser, it takes you to bing... :)

Had to shorten the clip a bit, but this one I took from the NYC event in Apr 2019 usually gets people's attention!

One of my favorite videos was removed, all the employee interviews where RJ talks about how all of this is for something and he has to make it work otherwise it is genuinely for nothing. It really hit home and while its still a "video" it sounded very genuine and I love how it is a passion project for him.
