RIVIAN LAUNCHES R1T, R1S DESIGN STUDIO - CONFIGURATOR WALKTHROUGH

EV Channels Review

This video provides a comprehensive walkthrough of Rivian's R1T pickup and R1S SUV design studios, offering potential buyers a detailed look at configuration options. The reviewer highlights the similarity to Tesla's configurator but notes Rivian's advantage in presenting multiple exterior and interior views. Key features discussed include the "Launch Edition" trim, available battery packs (300+ mile standard, 400+ mile optional for R1T), and various package options like "Adventure" and "Explore," which alter interior materials and features. Exterior color choices are extensive, with premium options available. A notable feature is the optional "Camp Kitchen" for the R1T. The reviewer praises the interior design, particularly the available wood trims and the dual-screen setup, while expressing a slight dislike for the floor mats. The R1S is noted to have a third-row option and a similar pricing structure, though the Camp Kitchen is not available. The video concludes with a comparison to the Tesla Cybertruck, emphasizing Rivian's higher price point but potentially broader appeal for those seeking a more conventional design. The reviewer suggests that at around $70,000 after tax credits, the R1S, in particular, could be very successful.
