I work at Rivian in Illinois, and it’s hands down the best company I’ve ever worked for! Every employee is very determined to see this company thrive. I’m glad to see that people are enjoying the vehicles.

Rivian has checked almost all the boxes. This should be really fun and I hope Rivian does well in the market.

I love the size, not to offensively large and not too impractically small. Storage facilities are great and that tunnel thing is epic. The screen isn't in-your-face too large. And really good ground clearance. My two criticisms are: no physical buttons for simple things like heater, stereo; and some of the interior plastic is just too cheap.

One thing that people always forget to mention is that you can stop at ANY campground that has a NEMA 14-50 outlet and charge your Rivian (or Tesla). The only Caveat is that you will usually need to rent an RV spot to get the power outlet.

For a first truck, this is unbelievable impressive

"For the next 24 hours, im going to daily it"

This is the first ever EV that ever made my Jaw Drop and it was for minutes straight! Just straight up amazing. Hope this company achieves success and i hope i could buy one of their products!

I am not a pickup truck guy but as far as pickups go this one seems great!

Can't wait until we get ours!

I really just wish they would standardize these charging experiences and stations just for sustainability sake

That locking chirping sound together with the 'face' is the cutest shit I've seen today

"I'm not sure what you would specifically use this space for...." Texans: Guns....lot's of guns.

10:50 The guys from Motor Trend took two of these across the country in a 5-part video you can find on youtube. In one of the episodes they had mentioned that because of how quiet it is, when they were blazing unpaved trails, there was just so much nature they were immersed in. Animals wouldn't scurry away, deer would just walk along with you, unlike a combustion engine that would make noise and get the animals to run away. Basically its a great way for those that like to get out in nature, open the windows and just be closer to that nature than ever.

10:55 I maxed out the volume to see if I can hear anything and my ears almost exploded with that number five.

Thanks to some close ups and decent footage, I can see that this truck was built with care using some nice materials for a premium feel. I think RJ has shown us that quality is important and what people want after spending 70k upwards. I liked everything shown on this video, I'm genuinely excited about this vehicle, its got such classic lines that won't look out of date like some of the other brands coming out. A timeless design. I can't wait to drive one!

The only guy to immediately give you the specs of whatever he's reviewing, whether it's a smartphone, or a pickup truck. Mkbhd you've done it again

Rivian R1T: 70k Hearing Marques say "Frunk" for the first time: Priceless

ok, so finally i can fit a body without folding the limbs. Thanks Marques.

Rivian has gone way above and beyond on intentional design here. Just look at how many things they've included that could be so useful. No rock has been left unturned. The flashlight in the door is such an amazingly cool feature that could have been so easily overlooked. The Bluetooth speaker is amazing as well. Charging ports, compressor to inflate your own tires....my god. I'm looking at purchasing a vehicle in the next 5-10 years and the Rivian is bang on top of the charts. I thought I was going Tesla, but Rivian has just got it made here. I really, really hope mass production does not lead to compromises that deteriorate the insane functionality of this vehicle. As a tradesman, the 7 feet of base with the tailgate folded down is greatly appreciated. I hope there is 4' of room in between those wheel wells, but as someone who has found workarounds for carrying drywall/plywood in a Tacoma, I think I'll be ok if there isn't. I'm keeping an eye on you guys. Seriously impressive stuff.

Actually, I reckon the gear tunnel might be good to sleep in if a person is the right length. You could leave the port open going into the back seats for air.

This is like driving cargo pants with all of the different storage places. As a Dad I would love this.

From a European, this is what true American innovation looks like! Absolutely stunning work and I hope to be able to drive this truck in the EU one day.

This is the best review I have seen of this truck and I am just getting to #4. No one mentioned the storage in driver seats, access to storage tunnel from back seat, and the paper holder in deep console.

My wife just bought one yesterday! Can't wait to see it and how she and the kids enjoy. Great video!

We make parts for rivian at the automotive company I work at, and I can vouge that they are incredibly careful and value the quality of their parts immensely.

Won't lie, I thought the Rivian was mainly overly hyped/PR crap but this thing seems to be very well thought out and good quality. Great review, thank you!

One of the best reviews I've seen, thank you for your work. I have had my reservation in since a few days before IPO day. I'm encouraged but what I've seen so far.

I love the step doors on the side and all the storage. This thing is made for off-road camping. Others have said it. The performance 3 seconds 0-100 quad motor and 70-80 K is a bargain!

The compact size will make this far more appealing, when it finally reaches the UK. The CyberTruck might just be too big for UK roads.

This thing is solid looking. Love how every detail seems very thought out.

"If you've got 70 grand burning a hole in your pocket..." Well, that's me out, then!

I (We) much appreciate your video review... Recently, I saw a Rivian crossing I-90 floating bridge in Seattle. I could tell the driver was busily enjoying driving the vehicle that he forgot to use LT turn signal and not look over his shoulder that he almost side-wiped me. As much as I was surprised to see a Rivian on the road, I couldn't get mad at him. A smart vehicle like Tesla is going to get better over the next five years. Congrats! On your growth and success. I have been following your UKposts career since the beginning. I loved the Studio tour.

I could watch an entire video of MKBHD explaining a stone, and I would still be invested in it.

The creativity in designing this truck is off the charts. I'd consider buying this truck.

Very cool. I saw one in MD on 83 about 10 days ago and had no idea what it was. It's got some very cool, striking styling.

I'm drooling at all the features. I love to see extra utility added and between all the unique storage options and air compressor and inverter and usb-c chargers littered around. Also cant forget the door flashlight; this is my dream vehicle. If i hit 200k a year this is on my list

"It can fit a human body" Serial killers and human traffickers: "Hmm, interesting."

Anyone see "Long Way Up" where they used a prototype Rivian to drive from the most southern part of south america to LA. Also had all electric Harleys! Great show!

Nice review, I'd enjoy it a lot, you're good explaining everything and must important you aren't boring it all! I respect your impartiality over not only the Rivian but also over the other brands, I believe every word you say, as car enthusiast I fallow different vloggers and I can tell who needs to work a little bit more on his presentation, yours is concise and explicit and it doesn't take to long, so thanks you.

We love our Rivian R1S. It's an amazing SUV and so fun to drive. It's the best vehicle we've ever owned!

"Man, they threw everything but the kitchen sink at this truck." You're not gonna believe this.

I was so hoping for this after seeing your Ford video, awesome they gave you enough time to really try this. Awesome as always!

apart from the oval headlights, which i don't like, it really looks stunning, especially the wood in the interior makes it look luxurious and modern at the same time

Nice video and great car. Design of this car is fantastic. All the storage compartments etc. It is just great. Well done Rivian.

6:27 "I'm not sure what you would use this space for" bro this truck was made for gun nuts. From the underseat pistol pocket to the rifle vault, and rear underseat storage. This makes the tacoma looks like junk.

That gear tunnel is absolutely gorgeous.

Great video, thanks for the info.

this is epic.haven't been this excited about a car or vehicle in general since the ferrari enzo.i looove all the neat features especially the "hidden" storage space.

I’ve been excited about the Rivian since it’s announcement but I was worried it would never actually come to fruition. So happy to finally see a real full review on an operating vehicle

The US really just needs to standardise the CCS1 charging connector. The EU standarised the CCS2 connector, and even Tesla uses it on their cars sold in Europe today.

8:50 Marques trying to hold his giggle, understandable. That's how cool you feel while you drive this :)

Such a cool truck and its so unique in a good way! I caught a glimps on my driverside mirror in my periphery and instantly knew what it was.

Rivian Engineers to Director: How much storage space do we need? Director: yes

The way that the Charging port door opened was the ultimate flex for me! Can’t wait for their IPO to go public soon so I can buy lot of them! Excellent review once again!

Really well done video. Thank you for this content, I found it quite informitive.

Great review and well done camera work. Thanks for all you post!

The gear tunnel should be re named, the beer tunnel ;) Soo convenient that you can store your beer and food in there and reach it from with in the car, when you are on road trips..

This thing just makes a lot of sense, and this is me speaking from a non-Truck country. Good stuff! Good overview, these autofocus videos are becoming among the better car reviews on UKposts :D.

You're super informative. It's crazy I've been watching you for a hot minute. Love your content def my favorite tech UKpostsr

Saw my first Rivian on the road yesterday, looked fantastic. I drive a Tesla but am excited that by the time I'm in the market for a new car there will be so many more options in terms of truly good EVs to choose from.

They also got a lot of feedback from the guys who drove them on long way up, so they were able to improve it before releasing it

19:38 best shot of the entire video, I started bursting out laughing when I saw Marques running in the reflection of the truck xD.

awesome review, I would love to get an R1S after seeing this.

The power and torque these electric vehicles are making is awesome.

This feels more interesting than the competition, so far. The cybertruck has a..."controversial" design, the F150 is great but not distinctive enough, the EV Hummer is pretty cool, but the Rivian for me is the coolest.

This was awesome!!!

I got a chance to visit the Rivian Hub in Venice California recently. It is definitely an impressive vehicle in person. The colors are retro rad / futuristic at the same time. Thank you for your review. -John W.

6:27, perfect storage for tent, folding chairs, fishing rods, tool boxes etc.

Casually “three people in the back” without mentioning that middle person was Shatner.

Chargers should be universal. It makes no sense to have multiple parallel charging networks for each manufactures.

Aside from the EV aspect, I like how much they've incorporated into the design like the bluetooth speaker, flashlight etc.

Great description, thank you for sharing

The Rivian hype was really annoying and it took so long to get to market but it is great to see this truck in real life. I hope Rivian succeeds big time.

This is going to be a good seller. Workers don't need gimmicks, they need functionality.

I saw one on I5 near Seattle, was awesome seeing it from two wheels. 🏍

What a great video and amazing truck, the world needs these, superb!

I wish such E- Pickups will be more popular in India.. it will help A LOT against pollution.

That space in the back might be a good spot for a electric scooter. Specially with the charge port.

Good job, I agree with you on what is important. Good review.

I've been following development of the R1T for YEARS... it's well outside my price range, and I want to own one someday, however, all the details in this video that haven't been easily noticed in other videos, this was quite refreshing. :)

This thing is good at everything. Extremely impressive.

The big center compartment would be great for me, I travel a lot usually bringing music equipment with me so I think it would be perfect for guitars, amps and things of that nature

I never thought I would say I love a pick up truck, but here I go! I loveeeeeeee this truck's; it's beautiful.

Long Way Up featured some Rivian's and they were great. I do wish that all these EV companies would get together and standardize charging.

I think this trucks design style is basically like what everyone thought the cyber truck might've looked like before it was revealed.

Best review I have seen. Thank you

i love it ! so many impressive features! truly the future!!

As interesting as the CYBRTRK design is, I think this will appeal to a lot more people as long as the performance and range are there.

The locking sound being literally a birdo I thought was great. Blends into the surroundings you’ll probably find yourself in

Love the headlights

love the "nature" shots with the mounds of landfill off to the side.

If it was available in Australia, and I was rich enough, I would definitely consider getting one in gun metal grey and comparing it to Fords electric Ute option as that also looked awesome. This is definitely an electric Ute I would seriously consider.

Amazing how far Rivian has come since the Long Way Up series was filmed in 2019. Seems like a truly wonderful company making fantastic products.

No one does better reviews than you my friend! I certainly hope companies like Rivian will find long term success!

Looks great on here looks even better in person

Love the hidden locked storage ... and the power / acceleration / handling options. A gnarly game changer for the American "Truck" culture.

Honestly love seeing the E-Car market getting more diverse

Drove one today, 0-60 is no joke! It put me in the back seat! Sweet rig,and that’s coming from a 2022 Ram 1500 guy. I’ll still take my hemi, but the R1T is fun!

Love the speed..just saw one being hauled somewhere on a huge tow bed..in this exact color....

So stoked about the future of this company! It's brought so many job to Bloomington and it's great to see the (employee) parking lot at that factory full again
