Video

Loving the videos man! Can’t wait to get an R1S myself. Some constructive criticism, I would play around with the music a little more. Although it’s good, it’s very “straight shooter”, I would try and add something more, maybe some more epic music on the awesome cinematic shots and maybe something a little different for the B roll/driving clips. Not that it’s a bad video, just that it’s missing a little something. Keep up the awesome content though!

Amazing job, as always! Terrific production quality. Very thoughtfully done.

Awesome deep dive on the new UI! Have you made any progress getting the roof “spoiler” (I think technically they are vectors) caps available to buy? Do you have 3D print files you would sell (I have a bambu X1 Carbon, not sure if that’s big enough)? I just picked up a lightly used iKamper Skycamp Mini 3.0 for my R1T, a goal I’ve had for a while in large part due to your content. I even had someone in a parking lot ask if the tent was made by Rivian because it fits so well on our trucks, and they wanted to recommend it to their friend with an R1T. Anyways, thanks for the thoughtful content you make, and hopefully these slick (niché) aero inserts will be available sometime soon!

Thank you for video! I learned so much! I have a Tesla looking to switch!

I have been waiting for someone to do a video like this. Thank you sooo much!

Long way away from my future lightly used R2 I plan on purchasing around 2028 (maybe buy new) but been looking at these tires for my current 2017 jeep Cherokee. Think I’m going Kumho at52 or I hear the Yokohama geo15 are very quiet. My #1 choice is Michelin Defender LTX platinums for the noise and gas mileage but the only make them for 20” rims. Really fascinated in the tires sidewall protection and hear it handles mud and snow well but find it a bit hard to believe Anyway really enjoy the channel! Be sure to check out Californias Lost Coast overland Trail (Usal Rd from Usal beach to kings peak rd over to mattole rd and come out near a rivian adventure network by the Safeway near hwy 101. Would have some AMAZING drone shots of the lost coast.

U have a completely new sidewall they added another layer.. it is now a 3 ply sidewall...u should be able to airdown without tire shimmy

The charging amperage setting is good for when you're using a non-dedicated circuit to charge, or an older outlet. If you're on a circuit that's powering other things, using a lower amperage will ensure you don't trip a breaker. If the outlet is old, and not super trustworthy, a lower amperage will help ensure that the outlet doesn't get too hot and/or catch fire/melt. I've had to use that setting when charging on a 30A outlet with an EVSE that could draw 40A and didn't know have any setting to lower the amperage for the EVSE itself.

Hi, just one question ; for the music, is it possible, when you connect your phone via Bluetooth, to access your music library and play music without directly using your phone ?

Thank You, Stephen. Great Job!

This video is extremely helpful. Thank you!

Hi All! I've created a new video that is updated with all the new features/screens that have been added since I filmed this original video. I'd recommend heading over to that video for a more up to date walkthrough. Thanks for watching! czcams.com/video/yxv3MkxvOUo/video.htmlsi=JnaPPUvDE1x31sTG

Awesome video! Thank you for sharing :)

Hope the $45k R2 has ground clearance too and a shorter wheelbase. Love the Rivian. ✌️

Oh shit!

Couple of questions/suggestions. Most HVAC in houses have a 80/20 ratio of recirculated air/outdoor air. Unfortunately outdoor air is very inefficient to cool due to moisture and typically much higher temperatures. But fresh air is needed for obvious reasons. Does the cars “recirculate” button follow this same ratio? Either way, I would suggest “recirculate air” be “on”. Also, I would suggest keeping the other vents open slightly (or maybe one at the front and one at the rear). The cross section of the ducting is probably much smaller than the sum of all the vents cross section in the car. As you already discovered, it’s less efficient to blast the A/c through a much smaller hole than what was intended. So closing all the vents not attached to the ducting is sort of knee capping your cars A/c unit. You probably won’t get much better efficiency than what you saw in the desert at 73 degrees F. But for those who live in Texas (like myself) with temps around 85 degrees at night with high humidity, these suggestions may help. Another thing that may help keep the tent cool/hot (depending on what you need). Insulation in home walls essentially uses tiny pockets of air to slow energy transfer (I.e. fiberglass). Thin camping air mattresses (like the self inflating type) would theoretically be great at insulating if you could find a way to line the tent walls/ceiling. The ceiling alone would dramatically aid in your attempt at cooling. I know this was a test of the system “as is” so 140 degrees F was a good performance benchmark. But there is always room for improvement, and I’m sure this device can work even better once all the data has been analyzed. Once my family and I get a rivian we will definitely be interested in this device. Just find a better mounting solution for the tent side….. I hate bugs 😂 One last suggestion, if you use this. open a slit in one of the other tent windows. If the tent is completely sealed then the cars AC system will struggle to get air to the tent. In a house, there a push/pull of air between the return and supply vents. By routing ac outside of the “System” (the car) you are removing the “pull” of the return portion of an AC system. Allowing some of the air to escape (preferably at the top of the tent) reduces the static pressure in the tent.

Wonder how this compares to the Ryobi portable fridge

Awesome video thanks for sharing. What was the name of the trail?

What year is this model? Is there a year you recommend? I may have missed this

I think it would be great when you are sleeping.

I love wildpeaks and will be getting the at4 on Friday

this looks so much easier to set up than that shitty tent that Tesla sells for Cybertruck. I wish @karaandnate would test out Rivian one day

does the Rivian R1t come with a camera system to where you can see behind you because how is it legal to drive with that obstructing your back window an rearview mirror

You inspire me to pick up my Rivian R1T yesterday. It is not new but only has 24k miles and smell like new.

Great Video! Rivian is def more than capable. Care to share that trail! Would love to give it a go with my kids!! Cheers!

You've inspired me to get a Rivian. My order comes in a couple weeks. Love your videos. Keep up the great work!

is there a way to keep it powered on 24/7 in the Rivian?

Dude, I hope you're not done making youtube videos. That would be a great shame. The last one is already three months old, so I'm getting a little worried.

Your videos are great! Appreciate you taking the time to show everything about the truck. Can’t wait to get in mine and hit the road. Ordered a R1T Dual Motor Max Pack that arrives in Sep/ Oct. Keep it up!!! 😊

Loved this video. Can you name your phone mount solution ?

Really enjoy your content. Thanks for sharing the experience in your Rivian.

4:41 What?! Awesome

You say 400+$. I was quoted 205$ pr tire just yesterday. 235/85/16.

Hi Steven, do you still have the wildpeaks on your rivian? I completed 33k on the wildpeaks on my Model Y. Rotated every 10k miles. Now with even the slightest rain, i loose traction on turns in street and have to take turns very slow not to skid out of control. Not sure if its cos of the weight of EVs. Just a heads up.

I’m pretty much 99% sure I’ll be getting these for my 2018 Grand Cherokee Trailhawk soon. Great review!

id never go EV good looking truck just not my cup of tea love petrol

Is yours not LFP battery model?

Bought a set a month ago for my 2011 F150 FX4. I'm disappointed in the highway driving performac. The tires require a lot of driver attention to keep the truck on track compared to the Bridgestone Dueller Revos I had on it previously. I have to make small adjustments as if the steering is loose. I've had the car aligned by the top independent alignment shop in the area and the suspension checked, so this is not the issue. Has anyone else experienced this with these tires?

Great video! Who makes your iPhone holder that sits btwn the wheel and the main Rivian screen?

Awesome video! Hope you and Christina had great trip! Had a very similar experience in Kauai - See for yourself. Cheers! -Tyler

Does the battery ware down after a year or sooner to like 80% as a full charge? Instead of getting 300, now you get 240, for example?

Does it show if there is heavy traffic? Offer faster routes?

Underrated channel

Is that always a feature or just during Halloween

Ugh, the R1T is my dream truck. I'll never be able to afford one, but maaan I want one lol.

Dumb question probably, but do you get many scratches on your normal wheels when you take your Rivian off road? I want to try off-roading but have the 22 inch wheels that I don’t feel too keen about scratching 😬 so I was contemplating buying a second set of wheels that I don’t mind getting scratched.

Great video! Any damage? What tire pressure did you air down to on trail? What brand of side awning?

Could you do the off roading piece with the Dual motor in Alabama Hills? Picking up my R1S Performance Dual motor and this trip looks perfect.

How do u you change the driver display to black background or vice versa back to white

Great content, again ! I’ve finally subscribed to you bro. You’ve left me with no choice . You are that good. I am in process of buying a R1t but little confused with R1s option. Will appreciate any input if you can guide me.
