I’ve owned more than 150 cars. Just picked this R1S up two months ago. THIS IS MY FAVORITE CAR I EVER OWNED AND I HAVE OWNED A TON KF CARS INCLUDING EXOTICS.
That’s awesome to hear. We are loving it so far! Extremely happy with it
Really interested to know your top 10.
I absolutely love this vehicle, it's the only EV that ticks all the boxes for me. The only thing I don't like about it is that I can't even come close to affording one.
The R2S releases in just a couple weeks and we are being told the price tag is going to be much more affordable. If they manage to have similar features it could be a great alternative!
@@Built2Wander That's awesome, I heard about it recently and am excited that this could be an option for more buyers. I'm on the super low side of the budget and no, anything over 30k is realistically too big of a stretch. It's expensive enough just to exist, never mind adding a big car payment on top of it. My 10-year-old 165k 4Runner will keep on trucking.
@@trailrunnah8886absolutely and there is nothing wrong with that!
@@trailrunnah8886Dude, 165k for your 4 runner is nothing (as long as proper maintenance was done). Although, gas…oil changes…break pads, 12V batteries…etc, etc add up. I have 37,111 miles on my R1S and I’ve done zero maintenance on it. Nothing, nada. I just get in it and drive. Eventually the Rivians will hit the used car market and will be more affordable. Although I’m never getting rid of mine (it comes with a 175,000 mile drive train warranty, which includes the battery).
@@fpartidafpartida Yeah man, I plan on keeping it for quite a while. I do my wrenching myself, and parts aren't really that expensive. It's a pretty easy vehicle to maintain actually. I have the parts for a mild lift and front suspension refresh, going to start working on that in a few weeks. I do about 20k a year, and I plan on keeping this thing at least another 5. So that'll put me up close to 300k. I had commented that the R1S was way out of my price range, and since commenting here the R2 and R3 were released and I have to say I'm in love with the R2. It's the first EV that I've actually been excited about. It still doesn't make sense to buy one now, I live in an apartment and can't charge it anywhere, but hopefully in five years time that changes. Also, did not know these had a 175k warranty, that's awesome!
You forgot to show the frunk. It’s a very useful space when you’re on a trip.
Good call. It really is nice to have that space. We use it frequently!
Great Review Collin, we would love to see a couple follow up reviews; One for your opinion of the All Wheel Drive in Snow with the new Nitto's, and We'd like to hear Jessica's opinion of it so we can help sell it our wives. lol
I can put together a little review from Jess. We will definitely be coming out with a follow up video on performance, impact to range, etc when the Nittos get added!
Good overview/review. We love our R1S and Rivian as a company too.
Thanks! Appreciate the comment. 🤘🏻
soon to a collector item as this out is blowing cash faster then it makes them
How old will this vehicle have to be before it becomes a truly off-road vehicle? Whear parts are readily accessible and the cost is low enough to turn it into a vehicle that brake downs and broken parts are somewhat expected as well as foreseen and replacements are even carried along with some vehicles. It just seems ridiculous to call any of these vehicles off-road. Now driving on a 1/4 mile gravel driveway on your 100 + acre estate is considered off-road
Friend has a R1T, nicest interior for anything under 130k IMO.
🖤❤️🔥
great review! from a Rivian employee :)
Appreciate you watching and sharing your feedback. Happy to hear you like it especially considering you likely know it better than most!
LMAO!! How many fully EV SUVs are out on the market? Spoiler, one of one!
There's a bunch
If you're only counting 3 rows there's the Tesla Model X, Rivian R1S, Kia EV9, Mercedes EQS, Tesla Model Y, and the upcoming Lucid Gravity.
Ev owners will sooner or later realize they fell into a scam
@@Aegisx5I would agree that there is only 1 of 1, because non of the vehicles you mentioned can off road. I would love to see any other stock SUV (including ICE) go toe to toe off road (with the AT tires) against this.
These things are incredibly fast. The only thing faster than the rivian 0-60 acceleration is their ability to burn through investors cash
Rated like number 5 on the junk list look what it cost to replace body panals or battery life and price 😂😂😂
ALL I CAN SAY IS HA HA HA ....YOU CAN'T FIX STUPID.
this is not a self-discovery channel...
If I had $10 million I wouldn’t buy electric car
But if you had $10 Million, Would you buy an electric SUV? 😎
Your loss
@@codymck23 On the contrary I just buy more guns and more ammo
@Cantsaydog The Only Reason I Can Logically Think Of Is Your O L D Facts Not Feelings Old People Don’t Like New “ Typically Old People Get Stubborn Old People Always Act Like Their Generation Century Was Better It’s A Common Theme Since The 80s And Prior The Old Man Always Thinks His Team ( Was & Still Is Smarter)! If You Were Young You Most Likey Wouldn’t Have A Problem With Electric Just Like Old People Don’t Like That I Have Face Tattoos Well Typically Not Always! I Mean You Might Be 16-20 years old Buttt… doubt it bud!
@@stanley1554 The biggest reason is there unproven
I don’t care how fast and quick they can drive and by themselves. They’re way too expensive and what you’re doing is paying for their research and development cost but the first few years they’re all gonna be junk
Besides that I like the sound of a V-8 engines I don’t care what it is with the right exhaust the six cylinders in four-cylinder’s sounds great also this day and age.
When I was in the service riding my Harley back in the 70s the women would say ooooooh The sound of authority 🤪🤪🤪
Make a grown man go stupid💯🤣
I like the Alpha evs way more. Their a more practical size for an EV and have some of the best design out of all the EVs. That being said your making more pollution than a diesel truck running all-day long. To charge up that ev it will use as much as 280 homes an hr. Your just relocating the pollution to the power plant which is most likely coal power, yeah lets all get acid rain again to save the world🙄
JUST JUNK.
ROLLING NIGHTMARE
False misleading information about ev
