RIVIAN R1T ROAD TRIP FROM DALLAS, TX TO ROANOKE, VA

EV Channels Review

This video documents a road trip from Dallas, TX to Roanoke, VA in a 2022 Rivian R1T. The reviewer highlights the vehicle's comfort, quiet ride, and overall suitability as a road-tripping machine, noting continuous improvements in suspension via software updates. Charging was primarily done using Tesla Superchargers and EVgo stations, with the reviewer expressing satisfaction with the performance of both networks, particularly the EVgo chargers at Pilot Flying J locations. The reviewer also touches on the convenience of the Tesla Supercharger network's expansion to non-Tesla vehicles. Minor criticisms include a slight wind noise from the driver's door seal and the Rivian's charging speed tapering off at higher states of charge, though the reviewer deems it sufficient for their needs. The video also briefly discusses the upcoming Gen 2 Rivians and potential charging performance differences. Overall, the R1T is presented as a highly capable and enjoyable vehicle for long journeys.
