I really love this truck. I just hope they go the distance and can ramp up production without sacrificing quality to get their foot in the market. I hope to see them in the UK soon. Electric cars need to start major R&D into weight saving however.

[@TheDoosh79]

it will be $ to £ price though, so yeah.

[@PiOfficial]

Unfortunately it’s too heavy to come to the uk. Weighing 3100kg means you would be over the legal limit with 5 passengers. It also means with just one person the cargo weight would max out at 320kg, which is utter shite tbh.

[@DerpEye]

This thing is the size and weight of a commercial truck (a big one). You'll need a special license.

[@Kevinator1996]

They have to prioritize charging speed and charging infrastructure first. Then they can worry about weight saving. Though admittedly I don't know how charging in the UK compares to here in the US. Here in the US it's really bad still. It's getting better, but unless you live in SF or LA, which I live very close to SF, you're not guaranteed to find good charging or reliable charging. On top of that, you're not really able to charge while towing unless you find a station on the side of the street or have tons of space at your house or apartment building. There's no standard of where the charge port should be either so if the charge port is in the back, you have to unhook the trailer and then back in. I just read recently that it's even illegal to unhook your trailer at a charging station to charge your car.

[@KZ-se4ik]

Rollout is used because that's how the two timing beams at a dragstrip work (one foot apart, second beam must be cleared before clocks start). Before people had GPS/accelerometer based timing equipment, the only way to get proper accel measurement was at your local dragstrip. So car magazines kept the roll-out for 1/4 mile figures for consistency, and also applied it to all other standing start acceleration even after they no longer needed the drag strip. So, not marketing....

State of charge also affects peak power, so it will be a good habit to either always do your acceleration runs after fully charging or at least conspicuously mentioning the SOC at the time of your test for all EVs.

[@benjaminsmith2287]

It looks like a truck interior to me but maybe somewhat of a mix between Scandinavian and American design. It looks like a premium vehicle. They can sort out the infotainment/interface things, the basics seem to be right in terms of acceptable quality for a new brand. Great effort and I hope they do well.

Wow... wow... WOW.... I've seen this car around in pictures, but wow. This is absolutely amazing... All those extra's and features, absolutely amazing. I haven't been this impressed by a car in a long long time. WOW. Unfortunately, it doesn't have a glove box, so it's a no for me.

Love this vehicle. Sadly, the Saturday visit to the supermarket will be a nightmare in the UK. Our roads are so bad for this type of machine. Do love it though!

"Our roads are so bad." Period.

[@troutguyCO]

@@SlonopotamIII Why would the roads be so bad in the UK? Don't understand. You mean they are rutted and rough? This Rivian is an off-road vehicle and can handle it, I would suppose?

[@Taylor1997]

This is a nice damn truck ❤️

This is actually such a cool pick up! I had this sort if thing in my head when Tesla said they were making a truck. Rivian done a really good job here.

[@maul_2184]

I remember seeing this in action on the TV series Long Way Up which is well worth watching.

This is the lifestyle pickup the UK wants. Purpose built for overlanding with amazing and unique features. Id buy one

Very modern looks, we need to see this on some proper off-roading next, nice job Matt

What's cool about the cubby behind the cab, is that many 1930s American luxury cars (such as Packard) had a similar compartment; i was once told that they were used to carry golfing equipment.

As someone who has driven trucks a lot of my life I was super surprised by its towing capacity being 5000kg, super impressive! but think I would have liked to know how much the battery life depreciates once you start towing! as anyone who tows with a truck can attest to, your petrol gage does tend to take a little bit of a hit when your towing something like a caravan, horses, etc. If the battery life was to stay pretty consistent to its normal everyday range when towing then It's definitely something I would consider buying, but I have a feeling it would take a massive hit to the battery life, which is the only reason as to why I would avoid it and stick to a Deisel truck. Other than that really good video and an awesome look into what truck companies may be getting into in the future. amazing job from Rivian building this truck!

Towing a trailer with a mid-sized car on it, 100 miles between charges from Chicago to Los Angeles. Sticking to diesel for now as well.

@@supportone9928 sadly, sounds nearly useless as an actual tow rig.

[@foch3]

@@kc510 Yeah TFL just tested it and the battery was dropping like a rock.

[@roland9367]

Battery range is not battery life, you mixed them up. It all depends how often and how long you have to tow. For a lot of people it will be fine. But going on holiday with it will require quite some planning. Still possible though.

[@wilhelm0022]

WOW, i'm really impressed by this truck, normally i'm not a big fan of electric vehicles but this one really convinced me. I hope they will sell these in Europe too in the future.

[@Horizon301.]

There are rumours of a UK factory so I would say that it’s likely to some extent that they will sell them here and possibly even manufacture in Europe.

[@reubenmitchell5269]

@@Horizon301. Yes I think those are only fanboy rumours tho, but Rivan have not committed to it, and there will not be any RHD made in existing factory so I expect it will be 2025 before RHD appears

[@Horizon301.]

@@reubenmitchell5269 Boris Johnson has written to the CEO and is lobbying for the investment along with Bezos so it’s a pretty logical rumour, whether or not it goes ahead is another story though. It would be a 1 billion investment so it’s a big decision, incentives are being offered such as quick planning etc

love your reviews Mat, 12:02 shepherd number extra. I like your sense of humor.

A slight issue in the UK would be that I think the weight means that anyone who passed their test after 1997 would need an HGV licence to drive one ..

[@bartgugelot5788]

Anywhere in EU, over 3500 kg’s, which this will be with a family load of stuff

[@thedivinggamermr1108]

you would also need a taco graph and follow hgv laws on driving hours, speed limits etc

Yep, a generation X truck!
