RIVIAN R1T 10 DAY OWNERSHIP RECAP, IMPRESSIONS, AND DELIVERY EXPERIENCE

EV Channels Review

This video offers a comprehensive 10-day ownership recap of the Rivian R1T Launch Edition, focusing on the ordering, delivery, and initial ownership experience. The reviewer highlights the seamless and personalized delivery process, contrasting it favorably with Tesla's more hands-off approach. Key positives include the truck's exceptional build quality, solid feel, quiet cabin, and impressive performance, with the reviewer noting improvements in refinement compared to earlier models. The UI system is praised for its speed, surpassing Tesla's. However, the owner expresses a desire for a "dog mode" and more granular cabin temperature control via the app, similar to Tesla's offerings. The range estimator is deemed remarkably accurate, even when driving aggressively. Overall, the R1T is lauded for its solid hardware and driving dynamics, with software enhancements being the primary area for future improvement.
