EV Channels Review
The reviewer provides a real-world daily driver assessment of the Gen 2 Rivian R1S, comparing it to previous models and the Cybertruck. Key improvements noted for Gen 2 include a faster UI, quicker auto turn signal cancellation, and enhanced Driver+ lane-changing capabilities. However, the reviewer expresses disappointment with the ride quality, finding it bumpy even on soft suspension, and notes a persistent glare on the screen behind the steering wheel. The premium audio system is also criticized for sounding unnatural and overly bassy, reminiscent of old boomboxes, with a lack of user profile cloud saving for settings. Charging performance on a new V4 Tesla Supercharger was also deemed disappointing, with speeds lower than expected compared to the R1T. Despite these drawbacks, the reviewer highlights the improved display resolution and the potential of the dynamic glass roof, though its thermal performance and auto-opacity function require further investigation.
