Legacy Auto Manufacturers are gonna have a real hard time competing with Rivian’s stellar execution of ownership experience! What do you think?

Hey Josh, it was really cool meeting you at X takeover the other month, just discovering your content. I've been cross shopping R1S and cybertruck for a while. The Cybertruck is better than R1S on almost every metric except car camping, which is very important to me. If the cybertruck front seats could fold down flat like the R2 seats, it'd be the perfect vehicle.

Hey! X Takeover was epic! Glad you found the channel! Lots of good stuff coming down the pipe! Yeah the seats folding would’ve been very cool for CT! There are a few companies coming out with racks for roof tents and such and we’re still in the infancy for both trucks so it’s only up from here no doubt! The refresh R1S I drove is a remarkable improvement over an already great product. Can’t go wrong with either IMO.

The R2 won't be getting fold flat front seats due to dot rules. CT would be a better comparison to the r1t. The r1s has plenty of sleep room.

So awesome you could test drive a Rivian in Yosemite. They have a showroom with test drives here in Laguna Beach, which is basically a large parking lot. You can't really enjoy the full potential unless you test drive at a service center.

Thanks for this vid 🤜 wouldn’t have known this place existed otherwise. Super LLTM that Rivian restored this site. Not only does it serve as a convenient rest/charging stop it also great for marketing. Love the history lesson behind the site as well. Really interesting that it evolved from a blacksmith shop over 100 years ago 😮. They’ve got great neighbours with Tesla superchargers around the corner there. I Would love to roadtrip there one day when my R2 comes in 2026 hopefully 🤞🤞 My take from this…. RIVN to the moon 🚀🚀🚀

Nice Video! The brand building of Rivian is very smart. Tesla: more futuristic. Rivian more countryside DNA. they got me right from the start with their initial very emotional advertisement campaign - taking the Rivians through all these landscapes…

Since the Supercharger next door is not open to other EVs, Rivian decided to do the same, nice.
@JoshWest247
Ай бұрын
Kinda but not completely… the Supercharger next door is older Version 2 technology and is not compatible with the newer Rivian Adapter Technology. Eventually they will upgrade it to V4 and then Rivians can use it… by then the Rivian chargers will use Tesla’s NACS plug and most likely unlock to Teslas as well. Eventually peace will come 😉 Thanks for watching and sharing! See you in the next video!

One cabinet for three stalls with load balancing. Most sites have two cabinets with six stalls so two stalls are likely sharing just one cabinet. Tesla also load balances on their units.
