Good to hear positive praise from Sandy and nearly universally good feedback based on all the recent reviews and owners. It's easy to find bubbles, there are certainly smaller issues and software improvements. Like Kyle's thoughts on the brake lights for example I wouldn't ever though of before receiving my truck. But the foundation is pretty strong for this vehicle.

Ha, I'm a bit disappointed, though hardly surprised, that he just couldn't bring himself to tear her down. ?

Dang. The only thing that was ever going to get me to watch a Sandy Munro video would be him dismantling a Rivian. Oh well, someone will fill this niche eventually. I’m already watching the auctions for a totaled one a la Rich Rebuilds. ?

Did he order it? or just bought it used?

Funny, he says "it's not as fast as a Model 3", but Out of Spec just said it repeatedly beat the Model 3 performance (at least in a drag race). Apparently the Model 3 held it's own up to 40-50mph, but then drops off while the Rivian kept going.
They haven't released that video yet, but that will be kind of phenomenal to see. I think they said the only vehicles that beat it were the Model S Plaid and one other I forget at this moment (and they didn't have a Taycan).
Also, the logo is a compass, not a "bat thing". ? I didn't realize that at first, but it makes the designer in me tingle, it's a brilliant logo.

Kyle's Smart Car is the other one that beat it, which honestly blew me away. Is that thing stock? I had no idea they were actually fast... Always looked like a tiny sardine can of death to me.

I think he was trying (poorly) to say it was like the bat-signal.

Right! That has to be modded. Those things are only quick up to like 30mph stock. (Which is perfectly fine for their intended use!)
Love it. Absolutely, that thing looks like an absolute death trap.
