I work at Rivian in Illinois, and it’s hands down the best company I’ve ever worked for! Every employee is very determined to see this company thrive. I’m glad to see that people are enjoying the vehicles.
This is GREAT! It's such a breath of fresh air to see comments of employees who really love the companies they work for.
How are you guys addressing the body panel misalignment on the production runs?
Do you know when their going to start delivering orders to real paying customers?
@@whatdoesnt They have a long road ahead to figure out how to scale.
@@FJB2020 For sure, and if you look into their IPO filing it’s revealed that Amazon owns about 1/4 of the company, has a lot of control/say and has the right to prioritize fulfillment of their orders first. I was one of the first to pre-ordered a R1S but it’s just frustrating to see more details come out that suggest they might not even get into mass production of the SUV until 23/24.
Rivian has checked almost all the boxes. This should be really fun and I hope Rivian does well in the market.
I been waiting for one on the r1t. it is here
They already have Amazon and even Ford backing them up
They could have had the name spelled out in the empty space between the headlights
But that's a business opportunity for aftermarket
Hope they don't end it like Boosted! Great product, but to ramp up the production is the hardest!
This is the first ever EV that ever made my Jaw Drop and it was for minutes straight! Just straight up amazing. Hope this company achieves success and i hope i could buy one of their products!
I love the size, not to offensively large and not too impractically small. Storage facilities are great and that tunnel thing is epic. The screen isn't in-your-face too large. And really good ground clearance.
My two criticisms are: no physical buttons for simple things like heater, stereo; and some of the interior plastic is just too cheap.
The tunnel would be great for rifle cases etc when hunting.
I feel like the tunnel is for skiing
Will you love the 70K plus price on it for such a small truck?? Not me.
Would love this. Actually more than cyber truck. Love the touches and the way it's not so way out. And that tunnel storage.....
@@hmc2s Yes, actually. Quad Motor. 800hp. 0-60 in 3 seconds. 5 Ton towing capacity. Air Suspension. It's more than worth the cash. Meanwhile it sounds like you're compensating for something.
For a first truck, this is unbelievable impressive
I dare say its more impressive than a Tesla.
It’s useless for camping you would be stranded in the woods
@@TW0man4RMY You've owned both?
@@annemarita4259 lol no, im just really impressed by this truck because of the amount of innovation that went into it even ignoring that it is electric. I dont even like trucks and was saving to buy a model s but this truck is starting to make me reconsider. One thing i do know is ICE vehicles are dead. 👻
They had some good testing on the long way up. Gave it to Ewan McGregor's support team whilst he drove a hell of a long way on electric Harley's with his mate through many different terrains :D
Can't wait until we get ours!
Why tho u gotta wait if u don't wait u dont get it ( just a joke )
Hi sandy
There is always that language which reveals a hidden meaning of some car names. In this case if you use a lot of Swedish dad humor You could spell the name Rivian like “Rivjärn” which is a cheesegrater 🧀. 🇸🇪 hehe
I can’t wait too, to see what make this truck tick
And wait you will.
One thing that people always forget to mention is that you can stop at ANY campground that has a NEMA 14-50 outlet and charge your Rivian (or Tesla). The only Caveat is that you will usually need to rent an RV spot to get the power outlet.
Thanks to some close ups and decent footage, I can see that this truck was built with care using some nice materials for a premium feel. I think RJ has shown us that quality is important and what people want after spending 70k upwards. I liked everything shown on this video, I'm genuinely excited about this vehicle, its got such classic lines that won't look out of date like some of the other brands coming out. A timeless design. I can't wait to drive one!
"For the next 24 hours, im going to daily it"
@@Andy-fd7zh maybe the meaning of daily has escaped you but it means to use something over lot of days not just one day. The commenter was right to point out the wrong choice of word by marques
@@raymondqiu8202 3 seconds ago
Haha I was thinking the same thing
Yo, Horizon... B u y i t.
It was a bad time to be drinking liquids I tell you whut
ok, so finally i can fit a body without folding the limbs.
Thanks Marques.
Easy to smuggle an illegal across the boarder and not make a sound ?
That compartment looks like it would help ferry colombian agricultural commodities very well
@@outkast40 Probably honestly border patrol people probably won't even realize it's a compartment
A serial killer's vehicle of choice.
sus
That locking chirping sound together with the 'face' is the cutest shit I've seen today
"I'm not sure what you would specifically use this space for...."
Texans: Guns....lot's of guns.
As a Texan, the problem I see with that statement is that most people I know that drive trucks think electric vehicles are garbage, look down them, and would never buy one.
@@PacoRobbins but Tesla has his factory in Texas now. His Cyber truck is coming.....soon
Probably not - it's not quickly accessible from the cabin. The little pocket / drawer under the front seats could maybe hold a pistol though.
Dual cab utes are the best selling vehicles in Australia
That’s what I was thinking: who’s the market for this? It’s certainly not your typical F150 crowd but it isn’t Tesla’s market either
I really just wish they would standardize these charging experiences and stations just for sustainability sake
I've been wondering about that too. Absolutely they need to be standardized. Anyway, who is this truck for?
It's a good indication that sustainability is being used for marketing and actual sustainability has taken a step back :/
@@JuVe_546 true true. very unfortunate to see mate
Jurien Huggins stop being a comunits. You cant standardize progress and business
@@Chris-hw4mq Standardization is progress, it has nothing to do with communism. Try living in a world where connectors, plugs, roads, rails, measurements, and so on, are different from town to town... let me know how that goes.
10:50 The guys from Motor Trend took two of these across the country in a 5-part video you can find on youtube. In one of the episodes they had mentioned that because of how quiet it is, when they were blazing unpaved trails, there was just so much nature they were immersed in. Animals wouldn't scurry away, deer would just walk along with you, unlike a combustion engine that would make noise and get the animals to run away. Basically its a great way for those that like to get out in nature, open the windows and just be closer to that nature than ever.
until one of those deer stoves your front end in as your cruising down a backroad because your vehicles so ninja quiet, hehe.
Totally agree - under appreciated and another benefit of being all-electric.
Being so quiet can be a safety issue because pedestrians can't hear you coming. My neighbor has a hybrid Toyota SUV with a built in nose option. It makes a weird sound sort of like a Star Trek transporter whenever the car is moving.
@@trickledown808 artificial sounds like that are mandatory in the EU so I'd assume the Rivians will have them
@@kimekholm7178 It isnt available in the EU yet 😪
I am not a pickup truck guy but as far as pickups go this one seems great!
One of the best reviews I've seen, thank you for your work. I have had my reservation in since a few days before IPO day. I'm encouraged but what I've seen so far.
Rivian R1T: 70k
Hearing Marques say "Frunk" for the first time: Priceless
In the UK, we call it a Froot
@@exiledone69 why? What is that short for? Frunk I understand, front truck
@@SaltAndVi boot
@The Dragon Slayer first of all not most people have 70k in liquid cash to put into stocks, even if they did, they would not put it all in tesla stocks.
10:55 I maxed out the volume to see if I can hear anything and my ears almost exploded with that number five.
Bruh same 😂
😂😂😂
Thanks for the heads up
I did the same and am so confused, it can't be that quiet can it? Sounded like the video was muted. Also im deaf now
@@FeelsDonkMan same here haha
This is the best review I have seen of this truck and I am just getting to #4. No one mentioned the storage in driver seats, access to storage tunnel from back seat, and the paper holder in deep console.
Great review and well done camera work. Thanks for all you post!
I could watch an entire video of MKBHD explaining a stone, and I would still be invested in it.
True
Ngl theres prob a lot he could talk about thinking abt material composition, durability etc
This is like driving cargo pants with all of the different storage places. As a Dad I would love this.
driving cargo pants is the best description I have ever heard XD
@@Randomadventureswithpaul with that much storage it is.
Nice review, I'd enjoy it a lot, you're good explaining everything and must important you aren't boring it all! I respect your impartiality over not only the Rivian but also over the other brands, I believe every word you say, as car enthusiast I fallow different vloggers and I can tell who needs to work a little bit more on his presentation, yours is concise and explicit and it doesn't take to long, so thanks you.
My wife just bought one yesterday! Can't wait to see it and how she and the kids enjoy. Great video!
From a European, this is what true American innovation looks like! Absolutely stunning work and I hope to be able to drive this truck in the EU one day.
there are plans of a £1bn factory near bristol, so that should definetly help with european distribution in the future
Tesla is true innovation
@@danp2509 oooooowww! Isn't that lovely! Puke!
Its not unneccessary in Europe. Here in Scandinavia, in Finland and Iceland, this size pickup truck is very useful.
Still, strange to sees a non "niche" US car one would actually want over here
Why are pickups unnecessary in Europe?
We make parts for rivian at the automotive company I work at, and I can vouge that they are incredibly careful and value the quality of their parts immensely.
Oh, great to know! Thank you for your contribution to what looks to be the begining of a great company with a bright future.
Hello guys 👋, so sorry for the random approach but you both seem to be an ambitious individual which gives me the idea to know if you're open minded to look a new way of generating an income, it may or may not be a fit for you but if I send you some info would you check it out 🙂
American made!
thats great to hear!
Nice video and great car. Design of this car is fantastic. All the storage compartments etc. It is just great. Well done Rivian.
I (We) much appreciate your video review... Recently, I saw a Rivian crossing I-90 floating bridge in Seattle. I could tell the driver was busily enjoying driving the vehicle that he forgot to use LT turn signal and not look over his shoulder that he almost side-wiped me. As much as I was surprised to see a Rivian on the road, I couldn't get mad at him. A smart vehicle like Tesla is going to get better over the next five years. Congrats! On your growth and success. I have been following your CZcams career since the beginning. I loved the Studio tour.
The creativity in designing this truck is off the charts. I'd consider buying this truck.
This thing is solid looking. Love how every detail seems very thought out.
Dude this is hand built prototype what looks cool? This car costed millions to build
The only guy to immediately give you the specs of whatever he's reviewing, whether it's a smartphone, or a pickup truck. Mkbhd you've done it again
Very cool. I saw one in MD on 83 about 10 days ago and had no idea what it was. It's got some very cool, striking styling.
The compact size will make this far more appealing, when it finally reaches the UK. The CyberTruck might just be too big for UK roads.
Compact, only in the US lol. Everywhere else it is huge.
@@briananthony4044 It's the size of a midsize pickup truck..
The cybertruck is too ugly for UK roads
@@briananthony4044 anywhere in North America, from Mexico to Canada, this looks like a mid size truck. Like a Colorado size truck
@@Hiluxtaco and a mid-size truck is considered freaking HUGE in Europe, no one drives pickups here
Won't lie, I thought the Rivian was mainly overly hyped/PR crap but this thing seems to be very well thought out and good quality. Great review, thank you!
@@floki1664 not a Tesla fan.
@@floki1664 research on what? a few prototypes? Rivian has still a lot to prove, mainly if they can scale production and get good margins, I'm rooting for them, because competition is good, but they're not out of the woods, and by a long shot.
Because scammers like Fisker and Nikola have destroyed the reputation of new startups.
@@floki1664 Ok paid ill*terate hater.
Really well done video. Thank you for this content, I found it quite informitive.
I love the step doors on the side and all the storage. This thing is made for off-road camping. Others have said it. The performance 3 seconds 0-100 quad motor and 70-80 K is a bargain!
Anyone see "Long Way Up" where they used a prototype Rivian to drive from the most southern part of south america to LA. Also had all electric Harleys! Great show!
This was awesome!!!

I'm drooling at all the features. I love to see extra utility added and between all the unique storage options and air compressor and inverter and usb-c chargers littered around. Also cant forget the door flashlight; this is my dream vehicle. If i hit 200k a year this is on my list
awesome review, I would love to get an R1S after seeing this.

The kitchen sink is in the tunnel of the truck 😂
@@onion4620 lol
Actually the tunnel has a camper kitchen insert that you can buy
For 70k they fucking better 🤣🤣🤣
8:50 Marques trying to hold his giggle, understandable.
That's how cool you feel while you drive this :)
"If you've got 70 grand burning a hole in your pocket..."
Well, that's me out, then!
They are targeting the Land Rover market or the premium truck market. This allows Ford and Rivian to co-exist without targeting each others demographic.
I'm a huge EV supporter and a first-day Tesla Model 3 reservation holder, but EV prices are heading the wrong way. I've never spent more than $28,000 on a car, all I want is a nice hatchback or small crossover with 200 miles range. So the Kia Soul EV or an updated Nissan Leaf without the dying CHAdeMO plug would be fine. But the 2020 Soul EV never made it to the USA and Nissan is replacing the Leaf with the $40,000+ 2022 Ariya. Instead everyone wants to sell $50,000+ electric SUVs and now trucks; the trailing automakers have the tax credit to make it slightly more affordable if you pay enough taxes.
I'm glad most car makers are selling all the EVs they can make, I don't fault Tesla for raising prices, and at those prices established car makers should make money and continue EV investments. But it makes EVs less affordable, and leaves a huge hole in the market for Chinese manufacturers.
19:38 best shot of the entire video, I started bursting out laughing when I saw Marques running in the reflection of the truck xD.
hahahahah wow
You've got great eyes

6:27 "I'm not sure what you would use this space for" bro this truck was made for gun nuts. From the underseat pistol pocket to the rifle vault, and rear underseat storage. This makes the tacoma looks like junk.
The Tacoma will never be junk. It’s too culturally significant. I drive an f-250 btw.
I thought the same thing lol i said "I would put my M&P Shield in there. Duh"
Quite the opposite. I live where they were developed and are made and they're 100% for hipster tech job Starbucks goer's. I'm sitting in front of Starbucks as I type this and there's 3 out front.
Yeah, the moment he showed that space it was clear it's for people who want to keep their firearm under the seat.
Sneak people into the drive-in
this is epic.haven't been this excited about a car or vehicle in general since the ferrari enzo.i looove all the neat features especially the "hidden" storage space.
Rivian has gone way above and beyond on intentional design here. Just look at how many things they've included that could be so useful. No rock has been left unturned. The flashlight in the door is such an amazingly cool feature that could have been so easily overlooked. The Bluetooth speaker is amazing as well. Charging ports, compressor to inflate your own tires....my god.
I'm looking at purchasing a vehicle in the next 5-10 years and the Rivian is bang on top of the charts. I thought I was going Tesla, but Rivian has just got it made here. I really, really hope mass production does not lead to compromises that deteriorate the insane functionality of this vehicle.
As a tradesman, the 7 feet of base with the tailgate folded down is greatly appreciated. I hope there is 4' of room in between those wheel wells, but as someone who has found workarounds for carrying drywall/plywood in a Tacoma, I think I'll be ok if there isn't.
I'm keeping an eye on you guys. Seriously impressive stuff.
I think its hilarious hearing liberals say stuff like "Every vehicle should be electric". The Lighting with standard battery, advertising 230 miles, while pulling 3,500 lbs... got 70 miles of range. Now imagine if temps were 0 to -20. You'd get 30-40 miles of actual range. As of 2022, we are a long ways away from a REAL electric pickup. LOL!!!!! I'd like one of these tree hugging liberals to explain how that is going to work. Reaaaaady. Set.... Explain.
I’ve been excited about the Rivian since it’s announcement but I was worried it would never actually come to fruition. So happy to finally see a real full review on an operating vehicle
Hopefully they can scale successfully
but if its 300 miles whats the point of these lighters and kitchens and outdoor stuff, in winter you'll be on empty batery in 2 hrs of driving

Such a cool truck and its so unique in a good way! I caught a glimps on my driverside mirror in my periphery and instantly knew what it was.
I was so hoping for this after seeing your Ford video, awesome they gave you enough time to really try this. Awesome as always!
This video alongside the Ford are the best 2 videos of this channel history. 😉
The FORD video kinda sucked. You could tell Marquios really wasn’t being honest about it. He typically digs tech, but clearly wasn’t into the design of the lightening. Lame name too.

Facts. I knew I would like this vehicle and the Hummer, but never thought I would Like the F150 EV.
on the flip side, where I'm at in the states, this thing is over-priced and useless. Seems to expensive and limited to be practical. To tiny, to light, to low, not durable enough for our roads/hauiling. We also have almost no where to charge EV's. For the euro or coastal markets, it makes sense

The Rivian hype was really annoying and it took so long to get to market but it is great to see this truck in real life. I hope Rivian succeeds big time.
It was really shitty hype, especially for such a mediocre vehicle at the cost. Rivian lived and breathed off of tesla hype. Now is their time to try and doggie paddle themselves to making money. I want them to succeed too, but they should have started with more intelligent options, like a delivery van. This truck is too basic and useless to be a starting premium vehicle for Rivian. I think starting with this truck is their largest mistake they have made so far as a company.
@@jf8138 how to hype with a delivery van? They are a new company and they needed hype and and they started with the most popular form factor in USA (pickup). All done correct.
@@jf8138 tbh they have alot going for them with this, if we ignore the people driving 4hours each way to work with a several ton trailer it is a very good work vehicle.
Get to the site and you already have power and air for tools, the main problem is cost. They simply cost way to much for what they give, get a diesel + a generator and you change car again before your up to the same cost including fuel!
apart from the oval headlights, which i don't like, it really looks stunning, especially the wood in the interior makes it look luxurious and modern at the same time
I got a chance to visit the Rivian Hub in Venice California recently. It is definitely an impressive vehicle in person. The colors are retro rad / futuristic at the same time. Thank you for your review.

The US really just needs to standardise the CCS1 charging connector. The EU standarised the CCS2 connector, and even Tesla uses it on their cars sold in Europe today.
It's actually a crap design.
Tesla's connector is the best.
Compact, fast and easy to operate.
The us does standardize the connector. Tesla uses their own by choice
@NEO Everything is better in the rest of the world, like the metric system for exemple.
@NEO It's obviously not better. And do you even realise what you said? Let everybody change the thing to adapt to 1 country. I don't know what kind of stuff you're on, but you ought to stay clear of that.
@NEO Europe and Asia make electric cars too. Tbh, I don’t think it matters if the Europe and US have different connectors, it’s not like people are going to be shipping these cars between continents
This is going to be a good seller. Workers don't need gimmicks, they need functionality.
Except the price. This is like twice the price of a conventional well loaded pick up truck. So this is going to be a rich people toy more than a worker's vehicle. Also, the 4.5 foot storage bay is just not enough. Still really nice though.
@@misteratoz Yeah, companies will be getting the F-150 Lightning over this because of price and bed length. The Rivian is targeted at the many people who buy nice trucks but don't need to run a business out of their truck.
@@floki1664 that's pretty short sighted. Trends follow function. More torque? No repairing? No fueling? Higher towing? Higher speed? Better safety? More storage? Equipment plug in options? Amazing software? And you think what, people who care about being able to do stuff with their trucks are just gonna be like, nope, I'm going to buy inferior vehicles forever? Right now we don't have volume ev truck production. That'll chance in the coming years. When it does I'd argue trucks are where the biggest and fastest disruption will happen.
Workers can’t afford a luxury item such as this one.
Sure but workers can’t afford this so who cares
I saw one on I5 near Seattle, was awesome seeing it from two wheels. 🏍
The power and torque these electric vehicles are making is awesome.
The gear tunnel should be re named, the beer tunnel ;)
Soo convenient that you can store your beer and food in there and reach it from with in the car, when you are on road trips..

You could also have a cooler designed for in there. It could use the power from in there.
This thing is good at everything. Extremely impressive.
Especially for a first product.
Great review. This truck is extremely well-designed but for the software improvements needed as you mentioned. They really made a good decision with the pass-through cargo and the powered frunk. Love the optional camping setup too. Rivian still needs to solve mass production but so far so good!
I think the pass-through cargo could be used for guns as mentioned in the comments....but also shopping, maybe skis or a snowboard, ski/snowboard gear (if the boards/skis don't fit). It's such a cool space. I love that one can stand on the fold-out doors. Also, the charger being in the front is a nice touch.
Haha Americans and their guns.
As a lifelong hunter, and occasional competitive shooter, it would be really cool to have that as safe storage for rifles and shotguns. Presumably all the exterior hatches lock, but what would be even cooler would be to have the option for a combination lock of some kind on the pass-through cargo. Maybe that's an unnecessary idea, but who says that cool has to be necessary?
The Rivian R1T is just fantastic. But I will actually wait for it as you did. I really love the space keeping and makes them available enough to take all cares. Big shout out to Ravian. Let the future keep coming.
Great presentation- super cool to see it in action on the local streets! Looking forward to see how it will perform off road or with towing... very expensive and who knows how to maintain the newer technologies- thoughts?
Love the hidden locked storage ... and the power / acceleration / handling options. A gnarly game changer for the American "Truck" culture.
They also got a lot of feedback from the guys who drove them on long way up, so they were able to improve it before releasing it
We love our Rivian R1S. It's an amazing SUV and so fun to drive. It's the best vehicle we've ever owned!

They aren't popular anywhere yet. Give it another year or two and they will be.
This feels more interesting than the competition, so far.
The cybertruck has a..."controversial" design, the F150 is great but not distinctive enough, the EV Hummer is pretty cool, but the Rivian for me is the coolest.
Yea.. That yoke is tough sell, could they provide option?
More interesting, yes. But is it $20K more interesting than the F-150 Lightning?
Rivian is a TOY Truck, that is FAKE TOUGH, not REAL TOUGH like Cybertruck.
toy for RICH people.
The Rivian is for ppl that want to have a truck for the sake of having a truck not because they actually want to use it
Cybertruck doesn't even count, it may not come at all or at least not in the form presented
Good job, I agree with you on what is important. Good review.
Actually, I reckon the gear tunnel might be good to sleep in if a person is the right length. You could leave the port open going into the back seats for air.
If I ever see one in the wild I will pry it open and jump inside. Speed run free housing.
waking up in there would be like waking up in a coffin
ive crawled through the gear tunnel when the door is left rolled up and scared people in the back seat so many times its awesome
Chargers should be universal.
It makes no sense to have multiple parallel charging networks for each manufactures.
They essentially are. Tesla is the only proprietary plug. So every EV on sale now other than Tesla can charge at every charger except Superchargers.

@@WildWest144 in Europe an EV is significantly cheaper to run than an ICE car. I don't know how it compares in the US or elsewhere where fuel duties are lower but if you're interested go do some reading on that. Try to get price per mile figures for comparable vehicles that would suit you, I think you might be surprised. :)
Oh, and most people most of the time only "tinker" around their own area. The vast majority of trips can be done in existing EVs charged only at home.
@@WildWest144 Well, let's find out. We'll assume your car gets 45 mpg and my EV gets 3 miles per kWh. Obviously some EVs do better than that, as do some gasoline cars.
Price: let's say gasoline is $3/gallon and electricity is $0.11/kWh. That's about right, where I live. Maybe not where you live. Plug in your own numbers, no pun intended.
100 miles of gasoline: 100 miles × $3 / 45 mpg = $6.66
100 miles of electricity: 100 miles × $0.11 / 3 mpkWh = $3.66
I've been following development of the R1T for YEARS... it's well outside my price range, and I want to own one someday, however, all the details in this video that haven't been easily noticed in other videos, this was quite refreshing. :)
Agreed on all counts. Marques Brownlee did a great job reviewing it!
Im in the same exact boat bud, this is the only electric vehicle that’s had my attention and I’ve watched almost any video that has info on it.
What an amazing and innovative truck. I’m definitely investing in this.
Wow, the most thorough review even though it is "not a full review". I like your attention to details. Thumbs up and nice work.
So stoked about the future of this company! It's brought so many job to Bloomington and it's great to see the (employee) parking lot at that factory full again
As an Australian born in 1980 I must say American vehicles have slowly turned their names to mud during my lifetime. The only Ford or GM cars worth buying ten years ago were European built. Between Tesla, Rivian and the new F-150 Lightning this has turned around big time. My next car will definitely be American 🇺🇸.
Agreed!! Such a cool young company.......big things ahead for sure!!
Hello guys 👋, so sorry for the random approach but you all seem to be an ambitious individual which gives me the idea to know if you're open minded to look a new way of generating an income, it may or may not be a fit for you but if I send you some info would you check it out 🙂
@@bigginsd1 just buy Japanese or Korean man. American cars are still not worth it
Looks great on here looks even better in person
I never thought I would say I love a pick up truck, but here I go! I loveeeeeeee this truck's; it's beautiful.
Long Way Up featured some Rivian's and they were great. I do wish that all these EV companies would get together and standardize charging.
Unfortunately that may take some form of government regulations before that happens I don't see tesla switching ports willingly or allowing others to use their port
@@kirbyofearth_3478 tesla does allow others to adapt to their charging network but no manufacturer wants to use their ports
They pretty much have in the UK and Europe. CCS all the way. By this point Chademo is pretty much dead in the water.
This is a must in the US, I have been wanting to export a Tesla model 3 from the US to my country and the only "wall" standing between me and doing that is the charging port and AC to DC charger inside the car, it does not support 3 phase 400V and the port well... we use the CCS/ type 2 standard, contacted Tesla about replacing those in the service center in Dubai if I imported a US spec one and they just shut me down and told me we don't do that even if you pay us whatever we ask. Why do I want a US spec one instead of the one being sold in Dubai Tesla showroom? Well the simple fact its much cheaper and easier to import a car from the US than one from the neighboring country ( UAE ).
Anyhow, it seems Tesla does not want to listen and are moving towards lessening their customers ability to modify their cars...
@@nightarrow7473 I once asked Audi to upgrade the head unit on my car and they refused. It was just a double DIN replacement swap. Trying to get any manufacturer to alter the charger....no chance. I can't imagine there's a single manufacturer that would agree to what you're proposing. It's not just Tesla.
for real, just looking 5 seconds at the interior, it right away feels way more welcoming and comfterable than any tesla interior
actually Tesla seats are very comfortable
@@dbbyres seats suck
@@OpinionSauce damn 💀
Not to me
Points down for copying the stupid screen based vent control... really really unesseary. No idea why the screen operates like an iPad v1. Overall, I like it. So sad they couldn'd have had a deal with the Tesla supercharger for launch. Infact, I wish Telsa had not bothered with the Cybertruck done a deal with Rivian, and just concentraded on the Semi, a wagon version of the model 3, and the rumored compact hatch along the lines of a Golf.
Great video, thanks for the info.
Aside from the EV aspect, I like how much they've incorporated into the design like the bluetooth speaker, flashlight etc.
As interesting as the CYBRTRK design is, I think this will appeal to a lot more people as long as the performance and range are there.
Not when you can get a tri motor Cybertruck for the base price of the Rivian.
@@HaroJM09 The base version of the R1T already comes as quad motor.
@@HaroJM09 depends on how good the cybertruck actually turns out to be. the specs are good but it might turn out to be shit.
@@boxr_4214 same could be said about Rivian. This is their first electric vehicle ever.
@@HaroJM09 Cybertruck will also come with 2 years of wait before you can even try it.
If it was available in Australia, and I was rich enough, I would definitely consider getting one in gun metal grey and comparing it to Fords electric Ute option as that also looked awesome. This is definitely an electric Ute I would seriously consider.
These will be hugely popular in Australia when they manage an RHD version. Price will be up there, sure, but there’s no lack of Land Cruisers, Patrols, Raptors, converted US pickups and other AUD$100K vehicles getting out. Tradies have plenty of money, clearly. I just need to figure out how to convince my boss I need one as a work vehicle… ;-)
They are already testing these Australia and I can't remember if they have approved it for sale yet.
Good luck leaving your home without the police on ya lol
@@KuroRyuu86 they did do their winter/cold-weather testing in New Zealand as well. This truck would be super popular in NZ as well I'd reckon. And we're not even that big! They could totally roll out an adventure network for fast charging here - but depends how many buy the ute. Seems like a bit of a chicken vs egg problem.

i love the intro. so beautiful!!
No one does better reviews than you my friend! I certainly hope companies like Rivian will find long term success!
I think this trucks design style is basically like what everyone thought the cyber truck might've looked like before it was revealed.
When’s the truck design going to change tho think That’s what Elon was going for
@@jordanjenks2369 if it ain't broke don't fix it
This is everything cybertruck fails to be. Whenever it comes out.
@@mrb2349 what exactly did it fail to be ?
@@stevess7777 the combustion engine is soon to be over that’s why we’re fixing it with electric
That space in the back might be a good spot for a electric scooter. Specially with the charge port.
love the "nature" shots with the mounds of landfill off to the side.
Great information. I really love the size of truck, storage capacity, decision of pass-through cargo and ofcourse tunnel. Checkout the storage part 4:20.... Thanks for video
The headlights are something different. This company has the chance to succeed and skyrocket in attention. The future is now!
Or maybe Elon Musk could buy this company!
@@shhreyyyas Bezos has his money in Rivian lol
@@guatemalaboy17 yes right! Heard it later ♥️
@@EsotericSouI That won't be out for a year.
Same with ct.
