RIVIAN R1T AFTER 10,000 MILES - MY HONEST OPINION

EV Channels Review

After 10,000 miles, the Rivian R1T is praised for its impressive real-world range, delivering over 300 miles on the highway even with 22-inch wheels and no tonneau cover. The reviewer highlights the adaptive air suspension as a standout feature, offering a comfortable and engaging ride that can be customized via over-the-air updates. Software updates have also improved the user experience, adding features like Apple Music and enhancing quick controls. Storage solutions, including the gear tunnel and frunk, are deemed highly useful. However, the navigation system is a significant drawback, frequently taking random exits and requiring the use of Apple Maps for reliable routing. The integrated air compressor is also criticized as being poorly implemented. Charging experiences were mixed, with Rivian chargers taking longer to initiate than Tesla's, and Electrify America stations proving consistently unreliable. Despite these issues, the reviewer expresses a growing appreciation for the R1T's overall capability and innovation, though they still lean towards the R1S.
