PICKING UP MY RIVIAN R1T FROM THE DALLAS SERVICE CENTER - THE R1T BUT NOT R1S IS AMAZING!!

EV Channels Review

The reviewer recounts picking up their Rivian R1T after a service visit for an HVAC recall. They contrast their experience with a loaner R1S, which they found to have poor handling, a swaying rear end, and a lack of driving confidence, stating they would not purchase one. In stark contrast, the R1T, particularly their "original quad motor" 2022 model, is praised as "phenomenal," "planted," "smooth," and "solid," offering a "great comfortable ride." While Rivian's service is deemed good and app integration is compared favorably to traditional manufacturers, the reviewer notes the service center's slow turnaround time (a week for minor issues) as a potential concern due to high volume. The video also details a positive DC fast charging experience at an EVgo station, with the R1T achieving impressive charging speeds (over 200 kW) even at moderate states of charge. The reviewer concludes by reiterating their strong preference for the R1T over the R1S and expresses satisfaction with the R1T's performance and charging capabilities.
