Congratulations! I can't put my finger on it but you have a newfound spring in your step, you look about 15 years younger, and you look like you're ready to take on the world. I don't know what it is, maybe in the next video.
Wow, thank you!
@@thedukeofmanville you're the man!
AHHH I see what you did there! haha! You acted like you didn't know what changed his life.... trading this in for the Hummer EV... đ
While driving on the freeway in Southern California I was passed in excess of 75 mph by an R1 towing a 25-foot Airstream trailer. Both had Texas plates. Not sure how often he had to stop to charge. I was hoping he would exit the freeway because I really wanted to speak to him but due to traffic I couldn't catch up to him. Really impressed.
The R1S can tow 11,000 pounds and you won't even notice the trailer. They are very impressive. Now as far as towing range..not so much.
â@@thedukeofmanville7700 lbs on the R1S. 11000 on the R1T.
Congrats!! I pick-up my Forest Green R1S at the end of the month. I'll be making some videos as well.
Congratulations! I will be looking out for them.
Ever since we took delivery of our R1S, we've never looked back and will never be going back to ICE vehicles. If it's one word, the R1S is CAPABLE of doing everything you could possibly expect.
I absolutely agree! There is no way I will go back to an ICE vehicle!
Thanks for sharing, and congratulations on the R1S!
Looking sharp. Congratulations đ
Thank you so much đ
I've had my R1S for about 10 days and so far have really enjoyed the vehicle. All I can say is power, power, powerđ
Yes, that power is something to behold! Thanks for commenting!
Nice! Congrats Duke. Beautiful vehicle. Enjoy!
Thank youđđœ
In the interest of "keeping it real" as I know you want to do, one drawback of Rivian is they don't have EV heat pumps which are more efficient for cooling and heating. Almost every EV manufacturer is adopting heat pumps and so will Rivian eventually. When Rivian gets heat pumps, the frunk will be much smaller in space so don't get too attached to Rivian frunks. Also, end-of-life removal of refrigerant (by scrap yards) can be a drawback (as it is now in ICE vehicle air conditioners and EV batteries). I researched âsafeâ refrigerants online and it seems R134yf is starting to be used instead of R134a (R134a contains Fluorine) in vehicles (this may just be the ICE vehicle standard air conditioners-not sure) as a safer alternative and R407C (contains Fluorine) is being used in buses as due to high thermal exchange rate (this may just be the ICE bus air conditioners-not sure). I'm a Chemist and my husband is an HVAC Contractor so I study this crap. LOL.
I've never heard of rhe refrigerant in a heat pump needing to be disposed of, it's a closed loop system. Not something most consumers are worried about. A heat pump would be nice but as an R1S owner myself, I've not found loss from cold weather to be that significant as long as I preheat the battery before departing. Better autonomous driving would be nice too, but the Rivian is still an awesome vehicle for $75K.
@@Cttechexpress I agree. Rivians are awesome!!! I want the R3X someday. We have an R1T and Ioniq 6 (with a heat pump). I have virtually no frunk in the Ioniq 6 because the heat pump takes up the whole frunk. Teslas have smaller heat pumps so a little bigger fruncks than in my Ioniq. I meant end-of-life refrigerant removal by scrap yards so I will amend my comment.
Good review !! Love your genuine enthusiasm.
Thanks!đđœ
Reserved my R2 today. Being in Canada, I look forward to seeing your impressions before we get them!
Right on!
American-sized is my favorite! đ€Łđ€Łđ€Ł
Great video. Congrats! đ
Thanks for watching
Congratulations!
Wishing for you and your family happy,wonderful,safe,fun and Blessed motoring!đđđżđđżđđżđđżđđŸ
Thanks! Very much appreciated đ
Love it! Congratulations. I love the color, interior color and wood choice.
Thanks Diane!
Hi Duke, we both received our R1Sâs a day apart. I was wondering if the threaded tire pump adapter you screwed onto the tire stem came with your R1S?
Congrats on the R1S. Yes, the adaptor came with both the R1S and R1T. Did you look in the zipper pocket of the hose case? That is where it is stored. If not, I would contact Rivian.
@@thedukeofmanville thanks for the tip! I did not think to look there.
Great video! Thanks. The color is awesome! Rivian really making some great stuff looking like. Iâd sure like to see one in person and test
Thanks!
Congratulations! I placed a Reversation order for a R 2. Currently, I own a 2024 Cadillac Lyriq Sport 3 AWD
Good choice! We were really close to getting a Lyric, but I don't care for the dealerships. That alone was worth the extra cost of the Rivian. Plus the Lyric doesn't have a front trunk, and my wife uses the Rivian front trunk all the time.
Thanks for commenting!
Congrats man. Trying to convince my dad to get the R1T. Waiting for my Tesla lease to end in a year exactly
Thanks! Best of luck! The R1T is an awesome vehicle.
Duke I wholeheartedly agree with regards to the price of the vehicle $100k is TOO MERCH for an EV PERIODT!!!! That is why I am waiting for 2026 to pull the trigger on my EV purchase....
Hopefully intrest rates will be a lot lower, and there will be a lot more charging stations.
Hey Duke, is there a way to contact you via phone to talk about the rivian?
how's the sound system compare to the R1T? im assuming you have the Meridian Elevation in the R1T and the Rivian Elevation in the R1S.
Great ideal! I will compare them. I have the Meridian system in my R1T, but the have switched to an In house Rivian system since then. So, the R1S has the Rivian system.
Thanks for commenting!
Nice ride. Congratulations!
Thanks!
Front ventilated seats?
The front seats are cooled not just ventilated.
It would help a lot if gave your height when showing the rear seat room.
6' but I have long legs for my height
Doug is going to be sending you a Cease And Desist đâ€

Great content from my hometown is nice to see. Iâm in SoCal for the last 23 years. Tesla Land. I have two and love them. I have a couple of friends who own Rivians. I might have to switch sides. Keep up the great content brother!
@@RayNLA Thanks! I'm glad you are enjoying the content, and thanks for sharing!
Nice, but expensive, size is perfect, if it was a better price they would sell millions!
Its worth the price for the power, but most people will be fine with much less, and they don't need the off-road capabilities either. That's were the R2 will fit in.
Thanks for commenting!
TY. What is "utility mode"? "They say" you can have good hot weather, cool AC in an EV for camping trips.đ
There is a camp mode, but no utility mode. Camp mode even levels the vehicle for you. I have a video covering it on my channel.
Duuuuuuuuke! Congrats, my man. đ
Thank you!!
Pending lawsuit for alleged securities fraud
The EV market is collapsing in real time. Hope you got at least 40% off MSRP at sale. Good looking suv though!
That's fake news. This year there will be record EV sales.
Hope you live long enough to see that. đ
@@thedukeofmanville I wish you luck.
@@tonye2458 Thanks. It's a lease, so I won't be impacted by depreciation.
shill harder
đ€Łđ€Ł all that money, all that horsepower just to be stopped at 110 mph đđœ đ
That's because of the tires. It is a 7000 pound off-road vehicle after all, and it can get over 100 mph faster than 90% of the vehicles on the road.
What do you drive?
@@thedukeofmanville Chevy conversion van. With LS2 Cam. 400 RWH. 9,800 lbs. Got up to 145 mph. Suicide đ«Ł
@thedukeofmanville Don't get me wrong. I love the R1, but that 110 mph was a deal-breaker for me. Getting smoked on I5 from the bay to LA
to save lives. đ

My absolutely favorite combination! What now? An air compressor??đ«š I carry my own and itâs a mess. What an amazing brand! Still hoping to find out if the 2nd row can fit 54â of 2 car seats and one adult!đ
I will be checking that in an upcoming video. Thanks for commenting!
That Forest green looks sharp Duke!!!!!
Thanks!
FYI....always cover your license plate.
Thanks for the advice!
Thats nice. Cant wait to ride in it brother
Hey Sis! No problem. I remember your ride in the R1Tđ
Hi Duke's sister.
