RIVIAN R1S DELIVERY DEEP DIVE FEATURES REVIEW

EV Channels Review

This video provides a comprehensive deep dive into the delivery process and features of the 2023 Rivian R1S. The reviewer, Tom, takes delivery of his Forest Green R1S with an Ocean Coast interior and walks through the entire experience, highlighting the home delivery service. The delivery specialist, Anthony, effectively explains various features, from the frunk and cargo space to the second and third-row seating configurations. A notable point is the confirmation that the R1S, like the R1T, includes a built-in air compressor and tire patch kit. The reviewer expresses some concern about the accuracy of the compressor's set point, based on his R1T experience. The video also covers the powered charge port, its functionality, and the ongoing discussion around charging standards (J1772 vs. NACS). A humorous segment details the missing LED flashlight from the driver's door, which was later rectified with a surprise delivery. Inside, the infotainment system, climate controls, navigation (with integrated charging planning), and driver-assist features are demonstrated. The reviewer notes the R1S's impressive cargo capacity with the second and third rows folded flat, though a slight ramp is present. The third-row legroom is assessed as adequate for shorter adults when the second row is adjusted appropriately. Overall, the video serves as a thorough guide for prospective R1S owners.
