ALL-NEW 2023 RIVIAN R1T REVIEW

EV Channels Review

The Motormouth couple delivers a comprehensive review of the 2023 Rivian R1T Quad-Motor, praising its exceptional handling, comfortable ride thanks to the air suspension, and futuristic yet friendly styling. They highlight the extensive and clever storage solutions, including the gear tunnel and weatherproof bed storage, as major advantages. However, the review is heavily critical of the vehicle's high price point, deeming it a "plaything of the rich" and questioning the necessity of its extreme performance figures for a pickup truck. A significant drawback identified is the inability to modulate regenerative braking, leading to a jerky, potentially nauseating experience in stop-and-go traffic. The lack of Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration is also noted as a disappointment. Despite these criticisms, they acknowledge its impressive off-road and towing capabilities, concluding that while the truck itself is well-executed, its cost makes it inaccessible for the average consumer.
