RIVIAN R1S DELIVERY DAY!

EV Channels Review

The reviewer takes delivery of a new, second-generation Rivian R1S, trading in their first-generation R1T. The primary motivation for the switch is the need for a seven-seater family vehicle. Initial impressions highlight the stunning Ocean Coast interior and 22-inch sport bright wheels. Positives include the electrochromic roof and improved door feel. However, the inspection revealed minor paint and interior blemishes requiring a follow-up service visit. Driving impressions indicate a smoother ride compared to the R1T, though some software quirks and GPS issues were noted. The reviewer also briefly mentions the new in-house dual motors. The video serves as an introduction to the R1S, with more in-depth content planned.
