RIVIAN R1T 4 MONTH OWNERSHIP UPDATE - MY FRIEND’S NEW DAILY DRIVER!

EV Channels Review

This four-month ownership update of the Rivian R1T highlights a generally positive experience, with the reviewer praising its incredible speed, stability, and utility, comparing its performance favorably to a Porsche 911 or Ferrari but with pickup truck practicality. Key features like the gear tunnel, tonneau cover, and the pass-through from the rear seat are lauded for their convenience and functionality, especially for hauling gear and luggage. However, the review doesn't shy away from drawbacks. Minor fit and finish issues, such as misaligned trim and a stuck speaker, are noted, along with the challenge of finding specific tire options for the 21-inch wheels. Charging on Nantucket proved difficult with a Level 1 charger, necessitating a lengthy overnight charge at a police station. Despite these points, the reviewer emphasizes that mechanically the truck has been flawless and remains a favorite, even ranking it in his top five favorite cars owned.
