Detailed Rivian R1S Quad Review - Everything You Need to Know Before Buying w/ Real Owner

There are a ton of these now in my area in NY. In the back lot of our building i see at least 5 per day. I asked one lady about it and she said she wanted the new Range Rover and she got tired of waiting and seemed very happy with her Rivian.

Great, in-depth video. I learned a lot! I am tired of the Tesla MY and MX, so I have an R1S reservation. Back in the day, my Model X was one of the cars valets wanted parked in front of their hotel instead of in the parking garage. Super cool........at the time.

the owner is a 🤡. SMH no dealership would ever deliver/ let you drive off a vehicle without all registrants present in person.

We have a Rivian dealer in downtown Franklin Tennessee…that’s weird

How is the interior of the S better than the T when it is identical front seats forward.

150 miles of range??? No. Before you talk about a vehicle, you may want to know a bit more about it. Rivian estimates mileage pretty accurately- inclement weather and very cold/very hot weather can sap range, but not to that extent

Mercedes Berlin Love Parade Discotheque ambient lighting is off brand for Patagonia Rivian.

What is the place name

I was a fan of Tesla, WAS
because they haven’t
released the Roadster 2.0

1 year wait currently on the R1S.

Better car than Tesla in my opinion. Just need german people to refine the finishing.

The recent recalls and owner dissatisfaction with customer service keep me away…

3 sec/100km who cares anymore!

I have a Tesla model S and I can’t wait to get my R1S quad delivered in Sept!!!

There is also a storage space under the front of the drivers seat i think.

I have FSD in my Tesla and i never use it. My wife does and she loves it. But i just prefer to drive myself.

Sorry, but I had to stop watching because the editing is so bad.

We live in IL so our delivery was smooth! They actually delivered the car to our house. The whole process took 2 weeks from starts to finish. It was so bizarre to just do everything online.

get that trunk gap to the service center if you see that on delivery- they fixed mine which had that on one side, and now its flush. I mean perfectly flush. Should've been manufactured that way, but at least they put it right for free

When 8 go on a road. Trip, I don't use my electric car.

If you own a Rivian do not drive in conserve mode unless you actually need to conserve the battery to make it home or a charger. It will cause very uneven tire wear if done often.

You could make a video of just the montage and I would have watched it in loop 😍. Constructive criticism; it was going great and I was thoroughly enjoying the quality, when it felt cut abruptly and short.

My dream car. Hopefully they will fix or iron out all those things mentioned.

Wow it has apsi machine!

Dual motor will not likely be as reliable as the quad motor as evidenced by the warranty coverage on the dual motor. Also, unlike the quad motor, which has the conserve move, the dual motor does not. This likely means that the controller is constantly engaging and disengaging one of the two axles which will likely lead to more wear and tear than the quad.

Nice review, ty I have one on order. They tell me delivery in 2024. Cool, will give me time to save$. I love my MYLR i recently bought, still a head turner and excellent experience driving it. I would probably go for the model X when the time is right. I don't think will ever be dull, boring, or go out of style.

Dude the Model X looks like crap and the interior is downright cheap. You overpaid for junk.

How about a rooftop tent? Will it hold 500+lbs?

If you need to people to sign on a car. It’s too much car 😂

Subscribed for the good cinematography

A car is meant to be driven and enjoyed as such. Stop thinking of it as your tech hub or living room. Who cares about watching Netflix in a car, when I have a much better television set up in my living room?

The hp means nothing when the top speed is limited to 112mph 🙄

In the middle row under the small temp control display is another 120v plug-in, in case you didn't know.

cant decide if i wanna get this or the X Plaid.. just hate that this has 7 seats and the X has 6.. i want a 5 seater!!

Not sure what the buyer's experience is related to. But 5 months later...non-issue for me when I get my R1S

So much for "mudding" the truck, but loved your expression of the "PSI machine" (aka air compressor :P).

Thank You for All that you are doing for our Planet Earth.... Peace.. Shalom.. Salam.. Namaste.. 🙏🏻 😊 🌈 ✌ ☮ ❤

too loud of music in intro. And work on your voice too or the recording device in the intro.

The model X is not sexy nor sleek. U need exposure to either the car world generally or design world. Seriously, shaking my head. Model X is the least sexy electric car of all, tho Tesla's generally are the least sexy EV's, unfortunately.

anyone who thinks EV's are too quiet for the occupants or drivers... just, wow. Noise, and NVH is extraordiniarly bad for the human body in direct ways to the cardiac muscle itself, and to the all the systems related including the brain. Your heart will literally thank u for a quiet car. I dn't even like EV's generally for a couple reasons, namely my use case for cars and road trips, but due to the quiet and due to the low maintenance or low incidence of serious repair needs vs ICE, i love them in a sense, and due to the quiet, i will consider them in future (and i'm a die hard ICE person, bcuz i'm 54 y.o. and like no muss no fuss backcountry travel.

If ppl r buying the teslas for gullwing doors-- sorry but that is not a solid reason to want an EV.

Leaning all up on someone else’s car

‘PSI’ machine 🙄🙄🙄

San Jose CA is the same, I had to go to a park to do my demo ride.

This owner is not good at following instructions on process of ordering...i did everything correctly. The portal stated clearly all person name on the registration need to be present to sign.

The first part of the cancelation and such seems annoying, but did he really think if he has a co-applicant on the finance that she didn't need to be there and they would just deliver the vehicle? lol

I haven't been able to get an answer on the sound quality of the new system. Realizing that it is incredibly subjective, but I'd love to know opinions from people that have actually heard it in the R1S. Mine is due in a month or so and I was very not impressed by the meridian so much so that I was really turned off to the R1S. Changing to a new system is a winning idea but I still can't find opinions on it. Any opinion from an actual owner or one that has heard it is more than welcomed.
