I actually love the segments of RCR videos that are not actually about the car, but about what the car says about us. This is what makes RCR truly unique.
It's exactly what I subscribe for.
I'm one of those people who only vaguely understands a lot of car talk too so the real juiciness is in talking about that stuff.
Those are the best part.
I mean I thought that's why we're all here
Why I've been a fan since 2013
The guy wearing the same color shirt as the truck while immediately getting out to wipe away the bugs off the front of what is supposed to be a rugged adventure mobile is so on point with who I picture drives these things. It's like the C6 corvette owner but on the other side of the spectrum.
Reminds me of the Civic Type R guy
And the same yellow tumbler in the cup holder….
I think the owner may have been a hipster ten years ago.
They're making a video, nothing wrong with making the car look good
Honestly though when it looks that good I'd want to do the same, these cars are like the electric versions of a RangeRover/LandRover. Sure they're capable but only so much as "capability" is luxury item to be sold to customers at a premium.
"This truck feels like it was built by engineers, not a meme lord who bought his way into the scientific community."
Shots fired!
It is one of the most succinct and accurate descriptions of that man.
No lies were told in that statement.
Fuck Elon bro he made EVs such a joke. Can’t stand the sight of a Tesla anymore
That’s one large and fragile ego you’re messing with.
Elon should not watch this
"Built by engineers instead of a meme lord who bought his way into the scientific community" should be Rivian's tagline.
I liked and unliked this comment just so I could like it twice
I’m glad people are starting to push back against the Musk cultists.
@@stoneylonesome4062 Tesla is only on top anymore because of the superchargers I think - every non-Tesla EV video I've seen, it seems the charging stations from any other company are a total crapshoot when it comes to working at all, let alone working well. I wouldn't buy a Tesla because I like Elon, but I might do it over another brand just for the infrastructure. If they fully open it to everyone then game on.
@@davedixon2167 There needs to be some EU-style legislation mandating that all EV manufacturers who want to sell in the USA need to standardize on a common plug platform/system. Kinda like how the EU did with USB-C. Because this is a fucking shitshow that the free market obviously hasn’t done a good job with.
@@stoneylonesome4062 agreed 👍
Categorizing Nashville as the Los Angeles of the Appalachians is a strangely fitting judgement.
Nashville doesn't count as Appalachia, and is closer to LV than LA. Come on over to Knoxville!
i dont get why nashville blew up
@@jaredsmith8394It's easy to drive too.
Nashville is like 5 hours from Appalachia
Lots of Californians moved into East TN and basically ruined it. He’s not far off.
Seeing a car in such a fun color is pretty refreshing
I believe in yellow car supremacy
So many failures in yellow.
@@evan12697 yellow supremacy in general tbh
Kinda makes ya wonder why they couldn't do that for REAL cars, huh?
What up
From the number of Ferengi references, I know that the RCR guys are Trek fans, and I'm all about it
THE RULES OF ACQUISITION!
Resistance is futile, you will be electrified

"The line has to be drawn here!"
@@areitu hahahah! I love that one!
Don't get me wrong, I am thrilled that Rivian 1) offers colors other than monochrome, and 2) that the owner chose it. But the head-on driving shots of this particular truck immediately said "Minions" to me.
There you go! I knew i had it associated to something, but it hadn't surfaced until now....
The vehicle has really grown on me
Yes, I originally liked it but then realized that companies don't normally make this color because it is reserved for taxis.
I'm only three minutes into this review and it's already the DEFINITIVE Rivian review. Someone finally reviewed this thing.
“I’m gonna make an identity, out of simping for Mother Earth!”
Nailed it! 😂
"Vegan leather" is Don Draper levels of marketing genius. It infuriates me that so many people have fallen for it (and that I didn't think of it)!
"Can you guys make me one with actual leather please? I don't have a mental illness."
All the avocados are getting skinned
There is no vegan leather, there is only *pleather*
If its made out of real vegans im all for it.
@@puppable
Rewording for a profit never sounded smarter
Brian’s balance between literary criticism and economics is refreshing. A lot of us English majors can’t seem to get theories off the page and out of the classroom.
As a former English major this is 1000 percent right.
English majors take literary theory off the page and out of the classroom all the time, often with a predictable political slant and on the internet espousing some type of moral superiority. Real life is rarely a factor.
- I majored in English
@@12ealDealOfficial Sounds like you went to Community College. Seriously though, he makes a fair point. Nothing about this is slanted, it's coming from a place of common sense. Does he espouse moral superiority? He has opinions but I don't think that's the same thing.
The matching shirt is purely intentional I assume and I applaud the owner for such an action. Brilliant!
The drawstring hanging like a necklace keeps us looking.
Rivian, the official Truck of "all my clothes shopping is done at the L.L. Bean and I wear Hikers exclusively"
Also has a yellow thermos you can see at 12:34. Matchy-matchy!
Also the Yellow travel thermos in the front console.
I couldn’t have made up a more stereotypical looking Rivian owner if I tried.
The official car of getting sold with less than 500 miles on Bring-A-Trailer with less than a year of ownership.
Cars and bids is the way of the future. Dont resist it.
@@iamatlantis1
It's less of a jab at BaT and more the fact that no one really buys this thing to actually own it. The most mileage I've seen in one of these was just under 3k. Who spends 80k on a car just to sell it a year later?
@@commietearsdrinker stupid gen x that thinks evs is the future
@@commietearsdrinker can't blame them for selling when people are paying over MSRP for used trucks :/
@@super-kami-guru thank God that trend is changing
A 'showin off truck' is spot on. When the wife says the GMC is getting old and the silverado is too dirty for family dinner night at Longhorn
And here my "dress" pickup is the one that has carpet instead of the rubber floor mat.
Why do people get a truck for going to dinners? $50k? You can get an E-class Mercedes
Perfect lol
@@ariellubonja7856 For the same reason that family dinner night is at a chain restaurant rather than a local place with a good reputation; it's how you put on the airs of someone with far less means than you actually have. It's a virtue signal inside a virtue signal.
The "skateboard/ladder" thing mentioned reminds me of how much tech folks enjoy reinventing existing concepts and then resignifying them to claim newness.
I’m like 98% sure Deep Space Nine is Mr Regular’s favorite Star Trek.
DS9 is excellent! That opening theme...
it should be everyones, the others are just space pirates melodrama
@@saeedhossain6099 Bro....Next Generation??
@@radicalbro1 yes, space pirates hopping from adventure to adventure exploring places people already be at, it's like the OG with fewer bikini's. DS9 had multipolar geopolitics, trade economics, medical ethics, it was a good show for deep plot analysis. without a bunch of tech and a couple of kidnapping, TNG would have been a pretty flat series. I've watched TNG, DS9 and voyager multiple times. put an eye patch on Pickard and you've got jack Sparrow. these are jokes
It would have to be, it's just intelligent, cynical and jaded enough that it would be right up his street.
I can just tell, when someone asks Mr Regular “Kirk or Picard?”, Mr Regular answers “Sisko”.
I love that your review isn’t so much a review of the truck as it is a comprehensive evaluation of the type of individual to own one at the moment.
The guy rocking perfectly clean offshore made LLBean to look rugged with his truck coulda been the whole commentary of the truck and still said enough
I drove one yesterday and these things are crazy. It's as fast as any sports car I've driven (I haven't driven other high performance EVs). Funnily enough my brother-in-law who owns it doesn't fit the stereotype at all. He's a moderate who isn't particularly interested in environmental issues beyond conservation for hunting purposes and just thought it was the best truck on the market.
And that's all it's going to take to get the masses to switch. Make an actual vehicle with good range, good build quality, and be reasonable in the asking price, and it won't matter if it's the most conservative of conservatives. They'll snatch them up en masse.
Lol best truck on the market lol
Without doubt the EV trucks are near top of the market
Yeah, stereotypes tend to be, well... stereotypical
@@e4ee4e9 lol
You got a car review, social satire, and an analysis of current car trends and of the car industry as a whole. All that in 24 minutes.
Welcome to RCR
Those traction boards are very useful for when you get a little stuck in sand. Our lifeguards use them all the time and I've seen them used a ton on the trail. The vehicles Matt saves on his channel are usually in need of much more to get them out (that's why Matt's been called)
I live in a tiny, formerly very methy mountain town that gentrified to the extent of adding a zero to everything over the last few years. These things, and $300k+ Sprinter vans are everywhere now. All the nature we used to chill in has become condos for Rivian types to move into and enjoy the ever reducing nature.
what town?
If I had any literary capabilities whatsoever I would have a field day with the adjectival differences between nature and the Sprinter parked in it. How every single composite piece of the natural landscape compliments, flows into, and supports each other piece. Completely fucking ruined by the presence of an artifical and exclusionary construct that is so incapable of supporting or integrating with anything outside of itself that literally poisons and flattens everything it comes into contact with
Look upon half of the Appalachian region and weep.
Here in SC the Greenville/upstate mtro area has gone wild. No affordable housing left because people from primarily places like Michigan/NH/Connecticut move here.
As a California resident who remembers what it was like here long ago. . .I feel sorry for you Appalachians.
Colorado wept
Went overlanding with a buddy of mine in Arizona a couple weeks ago. We got stuck on a river bank trying to cross, the gentlemen kind enough to stop and help us recover apparently worked in a fancy offroad lodge further up on the trail. The owner of the lodge stopped by to check out if we needed more help. He was mudding a fully built rivian along the trail. Definitely a cool sight to see.
This video's underrated line: "maybe don't blast Dream Theater when you're rolling through a residential area".😂
That got me good
this is me everyday. You will hear 6:00 at 6 o' clock and you can't stop me

@@TheKolyaRice I will live Another Day!
So funny!!
The tires do not have the founders initials on them, it's simply a P and S for Pirelli Scorpion. This owner is fully embracing the "look at what i know, while knowing nothing" mindset
Eh, Google a picture of one. I'm not saying the owner is in the right, but it definitely looks more like RSJ than PS. Seems the reps have been telling the story to a lot of customers, IDK if it's true or just BS, but it looks more like that than a PS IMO.
@@MrSlowestD16I would think (but could be wrong i suppose) If the founders name is R.J. Scaringe, then why would they be written RSJ, wouldn't it be RJS? having bought a set for my truck i can say that when driving in the dirt it makes a psd imprint that can be read as ps in any direction. Also Porsche is using them as the factory tire on the new 911 Dakar and i don't think they would appreciate the initials of another manufactures founder on their car
@@jordanprasifka9122 Yeah I agree it would be RJS. I think the Rivian sales reps' claims sounds a bit sketch. I just meant the tread looks more like RSJ than PS to me. But I see what you're talking about by it being read either way. Sounds more plausible than the Rivian claim, but it's an odd claim for a company to make without something sorta backing it up. It's not significant enough for it to be worth lying about out of the blue, y'know? Maybe a Pirelli rep said it as a joke to the CEO and he ran with it, IDK, lol.
It's not the owner, it's the thinks-he's-funny Regular Car Reviews guy who is ignorant. The tread on these tires is the same as normal Pirelli scorpions.
R = Rain, S = Snow, P = Pavement, not sure about J....but these are tread wear indicators. My Continental Extreme Contact Plus have them as well. - - sorry, conti is DWS for dry / wet / snow
I really enjoyed this review-as with all of your reviews-Doug's was a really good, comprehensive look at the truck itself, yours explores the dichotomy and juxtaposition of a truck like this and where it belongs!
20:40 A 1000 lumen lightbulb running off a 21700 li-ion battery cell is pretty useful. We run them in electric skateboard rides often; and they can illuminate the whole road about 50-100 feet Infront of us.
Electric skateboard rides sound pretty cool
Yeah good basic formula for a flashlight, but that Rivan one was pretty big for a 21700 powered light. Could be much smaller. Convoy or Sofirn will sell you something similar but more size efficient for under $30.
I'm a trail runner and i used mine for pacing a friend long into the night who was doing a 100K race. We were out there about 5 hours for the leg I joined and it lasted the entire time.
Rivian have said multiple times that they will open up their charging network eventually. RJ just said it again on the Waveform podcast.
Doing so is a requirement to get any federal funding for building chargers, this is also part of why Tesla has started to open up their chargers in the US to other EVs.
They should have opened up their charging port design too. It's actually better than the weird five-prong thing everyone else is using, but because only Teslas can have it, it's useless and doomed to disappear rather than do any real good. It's already banned in Europe.
The first ones are online as of last month.
My man was wearing a shirt and had a Yeti the same color as his Rivian. Dude loves that truck, and I can't knock that enthusiasm
Some idiot is going to crack the battery case in the woods and cause one of the worst forest fires in human history 😅
17:40 those are really nice camera placements, they aren't obvious compared to what most companies do, honestly. Well done.
Yes! I’ve been waiting for Mr. Regular to review one of these because I have always been curious about what he thought about it.

I been watching you for like... the better part of a decade. I really appreciate your meta commentary, keep it up. And thank you.
“It’s alllll over” had me dying
It would be great if the government would make law that says car chargers should have a standard plug for all types of cars. Also oil companies should simply add those chargers on the existing gas stations.
I mean, oil manufacturers have tons of money, and they could slowly transition into lithium mining, battery production, and charger stations.
They made a standard plug (CCS) a requirement for getting federal funding for chargers, so everyone is either using that plug or offering adapters to it.
Some gas stations do gave chargers. Wawa, Sheetz, and Buc-ees already have chargers at many locations, Pilot/Flying J are adding them.
It makes more sense at a nicer stations where you might want to spend 30min, not the tiny sketchy gas stations where you just want to get gas and get out.
@Stetrain But since we are going towards EV, and cars are developing faster than the infrastructure, power stations should be everywhere available. From big towns to the most rural places.
@@stevangucu522 You need fewer EV fast chargers than gas stations because we should also be installing slow chargers at homes, apartments, and offices. Fast chargers are for road trips, not commuting.
Rivian R1T is the living embodiment of I want to eat my cake and have it too.
And yet you know it would be awesome to have
@@extragoogleaccount6061 Why? I don’t see it. If I want a frivolous vehicle then I’d just go frivolous. Why half ass it?
RCR, the ONLY channel that talks about CARS and the People who Drive Them.
Together with the Lucid Air, this looks like one of the most well-finished American cars I've ever seen. I didn't expect this when clicking to watch this, but I actually like it.
You should have a closer look...
@@audioiconoclayst I'm only judging from the footage I've seen, I haven't seen one in real life, as here in the Netherlands there's not much of a big truck scene. Well, actually there kinda is where I live but it's all loud v8 ram trucks with massive trailers hauling JCB's.
I've been inside quite a few Tesla cars (older and more recent model S's and 3's) and I wasn't too impressed.
I wish car companies made cars in fun colors
@@Mr.Marbles The manufacturers make lots of cars in those colors because they're safe. Because a person may want a car in a specific color, but they'll settle for neutral colors if they like the vehicle enough. It's why I had a bright orange car and loved it for the color, and got a better car and settled for it in black.
Interestingly sometimes its a bargaining point. I wanted a red Subaru but the lot didnt have one so i knocked them down $5k just to take the white one (which i could wrap for less if i really wanted to lol)
They do, at least in Europe it's not a surprise to see a car in yellow.
Hi
Agree I miss all the baby poo green minivans with wood grain or two tone metallic colors really any weird colors I miss.
Mr Regular please, and I mean PLEASE. Never again should you ever feel the need to apologize for another segment on literary theory. It is honestly one of the best attributes of RCR.
Suffered a string of personal tragedies recently. Your videos are the only thing that can still make me smile. Thank you.
This truck SCREAMS Newport, RI. This is driven by people that Pretend to care about the environment and do absolutely nothing with the bed 😂
Love the little clips at the end, discussing little features and gimmicks like the flashlight and finding all the times the name appears on the truck, please include more in the future!
I've been loving all the DS9 references lately. Didn't know you guys were trekkies, but they've fit in with your narratives so far 👍
Trekkies, or Trekkers? There is a difference.
It's mostly a matter of preference, but both are essentially the same thing. Some view "Trekkie" as derogatory, but personally, being a lifelong fan myself, I don't mind either name. To me, it's just a label, and that's not what I watch Star Trek for.
Roman actually parodied the DS9 theme in one of their old reviews, either the Corvette C4 or Nissan 300ZX Z32.
Rivian R1T, the official car of PC Principal from South Park.
Dope vehicle. I think the R1S (you have it wrong in the title btw, it's R1T not RT1) SUV is the car with the highest Dougscore rn. And to me, in hindsight after seeing it already made and the reflections made in this video, it really feels like that could be its best descriptor. It's a "Highest Dougscore Truck" kind of by design.
It's "practical" in the American, Dougscore way of being practical in big wide roads and stroads, wide parking lots, etc, basically being a car that has a lot of cubic feet of room, lots of cubbies, storage spots, well thought out cabin. It's impressively quick and its dynamics seem well engineered. It uses modern technology to help the user of the car (user feels like a better term than driver). It's even technically a competent off roader. But even taking into account all these more or less objective Dougscore facts (bar a couple like "styling" and "coolness") somehow if still feels "wrong" to me that this "product of our times" vehicle would rank so well. Something so non-sensical in all aspects (electric cars shine in being close-to-city dailies, why is it a huge pickup truck/SUV? off roaders are for venturing where there's no infrastructure, why is it electric?), something so heavy (complete opposite to the dynamic ideals of Chapman for example) kind of ironically manages to be the "best at everything" car.
It seems to be both an incredible vehicle, and a really interesting "concept" or "phenomenon" to analyze like you did in the video.
The problem with the “Doug” score is that it’s 50% subjective. And his objective scores reflect that a tan, all wheel drive, V-12 hybrid, 8 seat station wagon that costs 30k would be a 10/10 in all categories.
@@misorodzinak8829 that car sounds like a blast, tbh! Hell, the grand wagoneer is long enough already, they just need to make it less tall and it's 75% of the way there
Nice to hear someone reference stroads on an RCR.
Love all the DS9 references, among all of the other references, and everything else. Catching up on all of the backlog content I have. Thanks for always killing it, guys.
When I off road, traction boards, dif lockers, lowering tire pressure, and a shovel has gotten me out of every tight spot I’ve gotten myself into.
They work, but like all tools, you gotta use ‘em right.
I really like the non monologue segment when Mr Regular was counting the Rivian stamps.....I love the monologues too, they're relaxing and informative. If I had a literature teacher in college that fused cars with concepts in English Lit then the course would be easier for me to grasp.
In Oregons silver falls state park, rivian just installed chargers and they are free till 2025 for all ccs cars. Just charged my volt at one last week.
Hilarious, yours must have been one of the cars someone else mentioned seeing charging at the station that another person saw two weeks ago
Cool, I love this channel. His descriptions and humor are spot on 👍
The Hail Mary Mallon reference is an absolute home run. Nice work RCR.
"Meme lord who bought his way into the scientific community" god DAMN that was merciless. Love it.
I think the tipping point will be when it’s cheaper to buy a crate electric motor than it is to buy a crate ICE motor.
it already is cheaper to do that but you also need an inverter and battery and cooling ( and 1~3 more motors)
Electric motors are cheap. Batteries not included.
On a tangeant here, but I really hope battery technology evolves to become not only cheaper/longer lasting, but most importantly MUCH LIGHTER than they currently are. I'm trying to be open minded to electric cars and can accept the loss of sound/gear changes, but the weight is the problem to me. A new Fiat 500e weighs the same as an old 5 Series BM, or nearly 1.5x more than it's petrol equivilent lmao.
Really hope by the end of this decade, EV's end up weighing the same as their ICE counterparts!
My favorite detail is the white light bar across the front that evokes the white-painted grilles and bumpers of 1950s-70s work trucks without being self-consciously retro. It looks especially good with bright colors like this.
Love these torch/flashlight reviews videos.
Ah, Good Friday followed by a Regular Monday.
LMAO
😢
Finally, a truck with proper spare tire placement.
Until you need to unload half of what you have in the bed to get at it, and God help you if you have anything particularly heavy sat atop it.
Yep, there's cons to everything, unfortunately.
It's worse than normal spare tires. God help anyone who uses the truck bed
@@darnon2031 if you know you are putting something big in there that can't be moved, then take the tire out as a precaution. People are making up problems lol
@@errhka lol if you have to plan around the spare tire, it's a flaw. It just speaks to the fact the rivian isn't intended for duty use. The truck bed is for your hiking backpack, not your tool pouch.
That was cool seeing this truck up close like that, I’ve never even seen one on the road.
I live in a college town. Been seeing some college administrators that live in the hilltowns buying these things so they appear both eco conscious and show off their 6 figure salaries.
I'm liberal but I still cum from OLD MONEY
Rivian said it lost almost $6.8 billion in 2022, compared to almost $4.7 billion the previous year.
You must think the Cybertruck is an amazing truck, huh lol.
The T company has had positive earnings the last three years.
@@kesslerrb there's no denying that. The Cybertruck is not only several years late but it is also far from production ready, and it also looks like a joke of a "truck". Elon is losing his marbles.
Nice to know you're not buying an obnoxious panel gap on wheels with the "RT1" :P
Great review and I like your more nuanced take on ev's in general.
26 seconds in, and the video is already gold. Has anyone else observed that RCR always knows how to icebreak their videos with the best jabs?
I wonder if that last comparison the owner is talking about was actually Jason Cammisa's Hagerty drag race, with the Rivian towing a Syclone against the Raptor.
"I care about the environment so i am going to make a bunch of extra chargers"
oh thats nice
"BUT it only works for our cars so it is taking resources and land that only benefit our customers"
i suppose that would sum up the theme of today's video?
Was not expecting a Rivian on RCR today! Very nice!
“When i was in the army” there it is, cant imagine the interest rate
7:00 I hope we are getting another Not A Car soon :D, Mr Regular is top two best Not A Car Reviewers.
Love this video RCR thank you
One thing I find fascinating about the R1T is that it has supercar acceleration, holds 5 people and all your stuff, and can off-road better than most Wranglers, while costing around 100k. So it’s basically a Ram TRX, while being the exact opposite of a Ram TRX.
Also Tesla turned profitable is 2020, making 5 billion is 2021 and 12 billion in 2022, they are making stacks now.
I think he's specifically talking about sales on the vehicles. Tesla as a whole started turning a profit from carbon credit sales, not car sales. I think last year or something was their first year that they were actually selling their vehicles with a profit margin.
@@nomercy4521 2020 was the year they needed the credits to be profitable, they got about a billion from credits and would have been down 700 million without them, 2021 and 2022 they were profitable before the credits by a lot.
I hope some day we stop telling other people what their values are and listen to what people have to say instead. I have an aging F150 that I bought to make lumber runs when I bought a fixer upper house. It was my first truck at age 50. My favorite vehicle I ever owned was a Miata because I like fun. Now I've grown accustomed to the practicality of a truck but I still like cars much better. Hence... I want an El Camino. Why mention all this? Because If I had the money, I'd buy a Rivian. I'm also into science and I want to move in the right direction with my choices. It's a truck, but it's fast and fun. It's also better than burning stuff. (I'm doing my own pv install this year, so it'd be solar charged)
I don't give a rat's fuck what other people think of me. Always portraying vehicle purchases as ego driven narcissism is fun if it's something expensive, but that assumption says more about the observer than the driver. Maybe the owner is a pretentious douche, but maybe they like something that's fun but also kinda practical. I'm fairly certain the pretentious douche has the lifted diesel with wheel spacers and led lights underneath.
Seeing ur shadow as u run for moving side shots in p lot , puting in work son mad props
Thank you for bringing up Ferengi again. Truly the sign of a great youtuber.
the Asop rock reference got me love ya rcr
Been watching you since 2014, always happy to see a new RCR
No one asked.
I’m shockingly excited to see the Currituck County, NC access permit in the corner of the window; that’s where I grew up!
A nice truck with a nice respectable owner. 👍
Awesome video!
Those recovery boards work absolutely great if you're a logging road weekend warrior
I'd love to see you do a Lucid Air review!
I can't believe this is my first video I have ever seen from you XD. Amazing....
I worked for a guy last fall that had a Rivian, he really liked it. The guy could charge it at a charger that other electric cars can also use, he had the charger installed at his company and made money on it. It was not a Rivian charger but worked on his.
If the Aztek had a baby with the Cyber Truck.
A flashlight that’s charged is always brighter than a dead flashlight.
Great review! Thanks
Hail Mary Mallon reference right off the bat! I accidentally walked by the Rivian distribution office in Brooklyn this past Saturday, stuck in between hipster neighborhoods and industrial zones. I saw so many Rivians.
The color matched yeti mug is everything you need to know about rivian owners
Im never gonna stop making fun of the "gas prices too high? just pay 80,000 for a brand new car!" Crowd
Do you know what I like about this truck that the T brand doesn't have? Actual door handles inside, a normal feeling interior, vents, and regular ol manual doors.
the rules of acquisition make me cuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuum - my rcr impression thank you thank you
Respect for keeping the dead battery flashlight segment in
If Fresh Prince of Bel Air was made today, this would be the vehicle that Hilary Banks would drive.
Funny enough, it is being made today…
It's always strange watching these videos because I live in Schuylkill County but I recognize 90% of the roads that y'all are filming on. Mostly route 61 with some 895/443/309/54 etc.
The electric truck news that you were referring to right at the end was probably Hoovie's Garage and his Ford F150 Lightning, a handful of mainstream outlets picked up his Lightning problems and were reporting on it. Extremely low range was the initial issue. If I remember correctly he got the truck around early September, made a couple videos later that month that he was having issues with it, sold it in early December and by Christmas the new owner had the batteries die on him. Don't want to imagine the RMA process on one of those.
it has a smiling front - it looks so friendly, i love it!!!
To my understanding, Rivians are "lifestyle" trucks, rather than worker trucks. So, kinda like a Jeep Gladiator or a Ford Raptor.
