Maybe Rivian prefers selling the T rather than the S?
Maybe we’re also realizing that in the end it’s just another car/truck/SUV…
Maybe, but I think the SUV will outsell the truck.

Not everyone needs a truck.

Even though the SUV is a little more boring when it comes to cool things like Gear Tunnel, the SUV fits my lifestyle better with a dog, 2 teenagers, and gear.

Not to mention no one can pronounce the name of the company correctly!!!!

To make it worse, they keep switching back and forth between Rivian and rivi-yawn!

How hard can it be to make a review video and get the name of the company right? Ok, get it wrong, but atleast get it consistently wrong!

So annoying and underwhelming!

I agree on the SUV vs truck.
The SUV should sell better. And the truck will be scarce once Ford and others are at full capacity.
We started with the SUV, switched to truck, didn’t like the proportions of it, switched back to SUV.
Saw this one today.
Color is much more burnt orange IRL.

Yeap I think no one is as excited about a SUV as they should be even though this is the first properly full BEV SUV. I need one for a day and Ill make some top gear level videos with a fake british accent to show how excited I am!

Rivian didn’t want to pay the big bucks to get the word out.

Stop by Washington DC, pick up some Eco Protestors, transport them to some goat milking farms to be composted into feed for the goats, on the way back pick up some endangered panda meat, take it to a steakhouse in Idaho etc. I mean really the script writes it self.


THIS IS THE BEST BEV SUV








































in the world

That looks pretty sick. I’m pretty set on Blue but if I was a little more daring, that red/orange would also look sweet.

I've been watching all fo the R1S reviews that pop up and overall I am satisified with them. They have provided the best info to date regarding the size of the interior, what can fit in there, how flat the seats fold, the interface and how it handles. Before these, the only review was from those 2 sisters, and before that there was only speculation except what RJ would release from his cell phone videos.
These people that did the reviews are heroes

I felt the same thing about underwhelming videos. I think most of it is because there is a lot of stuff we already know. I don't really care anymore about the speaker, the flashlight, or the Frunk. We know about Zero to 60, the interior, and the driving options.
I was very interested in the interior sizing, and the seating spacing for the second and third rows. But that was about it.
Totally agree. I want to see six football player sized males sitting in the car with luggage in back.
