Manufactors only give range numbers based on eco or conserved settings to milk out the most range they can present to the consumer even though no one drives so slow like how the Manufactor tested the vehicles. Let's not also forget about the terrible charging, you can expect to be waiting like a bozo to fill up the battery. Lastly truck's users usually carry a lot of load, so they can expect even less range.

      Unfortunately it’s too heavy to come to the uk. Weighing 3100kg means you would be over the legal limit with 5 passengers. It also means with just one person the cargo weight would max out at 320kg, which is utter shite tbh.

      @Kevinator1996 2 роки тому

      They have to prioritize charging speed and charging infrastructure first. Then they can worry about weight saving. Though admittedly I don't know how charging in the UK compares to here in the US. Here in the US it's really bad still. It's getting better, but unless you live in SF or LA, which I live very close to SF, you're not guaranteed to find good charging or reliable charging. On top of that, you're not really able to charge while towing unless you find a station on the side of the street or have tons of space at your house or apartment building. There's no standard of where the charge port should be either so if the charge port is in the back, you have to unhook the trailer and then back in. I just read recently that it's even illegal to unhook your trailer at a charging station to charge your car.

    Rollout is used because that's how the two timing beams at a dragstrip work (one foot apart, second beam must be cleared before clocks start). Before people had GPS/accelerometer based timing equipment, the only way to get proper accel measurement was at your local dragstrip. So car magazines kept the roll-out for 1/4 mile figures for consistency, and also applied it to all other standing start acceleration even after they no longer needed the drag strip. So, not marketing....

    It looks like a truck interior to me but maybe somewhat of a mix between Scandinavian and American design. It looks like a premium vehicle. They can sort out the infotainment/interface things, the basics seem to be right in terms of acceptable quality for a new brand. Great effort and I hope they do well.

    As someone who has driven trucks a lot of my life I was super surprised by its towing capacity being 5000kg, super impressive! but think I would have liked to know how much the battery life depreciates once you start towing! as anyone who tows with a truck can attest to, your petrol gage does tend to take a little bit of a hit when your towing something like a caravan, horses, etc. If the battery life was to stay pretty consistent to its normal everyday range when towing then It's definitely something I would consider buying, but I have a feeling it would take a massive hit to the battery life, which is the only reason as to why I would avoid it and stick to a Deisel truck.
    Other than that really good video and an awesome look into what truck companies may be getting into in the future. amazing job from Rivian building this truck!
