WINTER DRIVE TO RIVIAN SERVICE CENTER

EV Channels Review

This video documents a winter morning drive to a Rivian service center in a Gen 2 R1S Dual Max pack with All-Terrain tires. The reviewer highlights the vehicle's impressive performance in snow, particularly with the All-Terrain package and snow mode engaged, noting a planted feel and good traction. Key features discussed include the effectiveness of the Gen 2 adaptive headlights, cold weather efficiency considerations, cabin heating performance (which the reviewer found satisfactory), and the presence of a heated front radar unit for driver assistance in snow. A minor drawback mentioned is the increased tire noise from the All-Terrain setup, though it's noted that the range penalty is minimal on the Max pack. The reviewer also observes a decrease in service center backlog compared to a previous visit, suggesting improved service efficiency and potentially higher sales due to incentives. Overall, the R1S receives a strong endorsement for winter driving and all-purpose use.
