Considering a Used Rivian? See How It Holds Up After 3 Years

[@sandshark5584]

I commented on one of your other videos and did end up going with a used 2022 R1T instead of a 2025 to save money and I love it. My VIN is in the 11,000’s and literally nothing rattles, everything works, and I agree the Meridian sound system was a big driver towards getting a 22 vs a 23 or newer because it did sound amazing. Appreciate the videos and it seems like you keep making videos I actually want to watch!

Glad you are loving it! I've been making it a mission to not do the cliche videos when reviewing Rivian and stuff. This give me reasons to keep pushing!

Great video! I’m thinking about getting the new Escalade EV but this is such a beautiful car. Thanks for the info and happy new year!

[@dominicwilkerson]

Oh man how many miles will be on the Escalade???

[@wadevermeersch5401]

I just bought a used rivian launch edition little over 2 weeks ago with 41,000 miles on it and it looks brand new and every thing works , we put over 1,000 on it already

[@dominicwilkerson]

That's what I'm talking about!

Rivian's are really freaking good, they are still having some growing pains. But if they continue on course, they will be something special. my R1T is the best vechile I've ever owned.

[@dominicwilkerson]

I agree, they are good vehicles. But I can see why there is some growing pain.

"I'm doing this for us!" Content = kibble!

[@Story_Teller_Everyone]

24k miles is nothing though. We drive like 18k a year.

[@dominicwilkerson]

I do about 30k, but I was chatting about leases.

[@KorraTheFrenchie]

Looking forward to the R3 when it’s released!

[@dominicwilkerson]

I wouldnt mind pre ordering it! Can't wait for the R2 configurator.

[@zax4x4]

I bought my R1T with 26k miles and other than a few scuffs, it looks brand new! They seem to hold up well.

[@dominicwilkerson]

GIVE MORE SCUFFS

I'm in the market but am having trouble figuring out how to determine the motor set up. Prefer a quad motor but if you look on autoliat there is no way to tell

[@dominicwilkerson]

Quick way to tell is the brakes. Yellow is Quad for gen 1 Tri for gen 2... silver is dual.

[@empirehockey79]

@@dominicwilkerson perfect just the clue I needed! Thank you for the content, your videos have been a great help in deciding to go in this direction!

[@wallywoo5000]

hey, thanks for this… Im either gonna buy the R2 that I reserved or buy a used R1S… my question is, what is the color of the interior… looks to be a blueish/gray… I REALLY like that!

[@dominicwilkerson]

This was black with the dark ash wood.

[@AlienSasquatch14]

How's the ride in that thing? My 2025 Gen 2 R1S rides like trash. Bouncy like it has bad shocks and feels like the rear end hits the bump stops really easy.

[@dominicwilkerson]

Just like my R1T. I heard there was an issue with the R1S ride quality, but I am not feeling it with this one.

[@AlienSasquatch14]

@@dominicwilkerson I really think it's an issue with my unit. I have an R1T and love the ride. But service just tells me yeah the ride on the R1S is not as good as the R1T and tell me my R1S is normal. I just don't believe that. But the ball is in my court to try to force them to do something with it which is frustrating.

If it’s raining 😂

[@dominicwilkerson]

Nice little work area lol

[@AaronCrawford]

They seem pretty ordinary looking. Not very impressed with Rivians

[@dominicwilkerson]

Which part is your least favorite?
