You know a car is good when the review is on the main channel.
-
thats the best color in my opinion.
-
On top of being a very cool car. Working for the company has been amazing honestly! They really know how to treat their employees well.
-
I'm shocked that we haven't seen Escalade/Suburban/Expedition EVs yet. Americans love them and I think it's a good fit for electric vehicles because people don't care if they're heavy and loaded with batteries. I think that's where EVs are going to naturally go towards, at least in the US.
-
Agreed on all fronts! Had a lot of fun reviewing the R1S—considering moving to one from my truck. But I don't think I can—the R1T is just so perfect.

“If I had 3 kids and needed to drop them to school, I’d pick this.”
Marques next video: “So I’ve been testing these kids for the past 5 years now” 😂 -
Rivian is absolutely killing it. Their ability to ship is great- I hope they can sell enough to start making the stripped down cheaper models that MB was referencing in the beginning.

Thanks for your honest review! It is so nice to see you review so many different things and to be mentioned this year with the Apple iPhone opening comments. It just goes to show you that viewers love and appreciate you and your word, and that the mfg’s admire you as well. Nice job Marques! Now if I could just get my hands on one of these at a price the average person could afford it would all be good. Really liking the looks of this and the White and interior amenities as well.

I can't wait for them to produce a small crossover or sedan. I'm excited to see how Rivian develops.
-
I do hope Rivian comes out with something lower to the ground eventually like a civic, just because I'd love to get one and I'm more comfortable low to the ground. Excited to see how the tech evolves over my lifetime.
-
I love how all the driving for the video is filmed right in my backyard of McCarter Highway and Route 280 here in Newark, NJ !
-
Their interiors are niceeeee
-
I feel like Rivian is quickly becoming an underrated company. Considering two R1T prototypes survived a 13,000-mile journey from Ushuaia, South America to Los Angeles, California, USA within 100 days, I'm excited as to how Rivian models will evolve in the future. I'm considering getting one as the first car not borrowed from/purchased by my parents.

I love my R1S. It's probably the most fun and capable vehicle I've ever owned. I used to be a die-hard Xterra Off Road fan and always wished I could have an electric variant of it. That's what my R1S is for me.
-
awesome review w/ really great camera work. These are big! Finally something that doesn't look like the traditional small, rounded crossover.
-
I've heard from other journalists that the driving dynamics can be lacking even compared to the R1T. The rear end, according to them, can get a bit loose, and overall doesn't feel as dialed in even as the truck. Your thoughts? I'd think with air suspension that a software fix could improve those driving dynamics.
-
Darn everytime I see a car review video, the amount of production values and tiny details from scripting to shooting and editing is just spot on and amazing
-
I absolutely love the Auto focus series. Thanks for the great video. Absolutely love it. Keep up the great work ❤
-
Seeing all that empty space underneath the first cover layer immediately I thought room for bass but when you pull up the foam omgg more bass
-
Was lucky enough to to order the R1T Launch Edition in 2019. It’s a marvel of engineering and I love it more every day.
