I made a mistake at the end when talking about the availability of the new electrochromatic roof (Rivian calls it the Dynamic Glass Roof). It's optional on all models, but it's not available on the dual-motor standard pack R1 vehicles.

I never thought we were ever going to have 2 cars of the same brand in our household, but after having the R1T for a year, I can tell you that the only thing that stopped me from getting a R1S for my wife was the fact that the R2 was announced. It has been such a great vehicle for us, no issues whatsoever and a pleasure to drive.

Great review Tom. Was really particularly interesting to hear from the Rivian engineers. I took a Rivian R1S for a test drive in 2022 and the harshness of the ride and the noise in the cabin turned me off the vehicle completely, so I am very happy to hear that they have made a very significant improvement in that area . I ended up buying a Tesla, which I have been extremely happy with especially after the suspension changes that occurred in early 2023. I was also really glad to see you mention the issue of an ATM at home charge capability. This to me is the only really big miss that Rivian made with the GEN 2. When you have a battery of over 100 kWh and your super off peak rate is only for six hours a night, having an 80Amp on board charger will make an enormous difference to the cost of charging the vehicle at home. I would really encourage Rivian to reconsider for at least the large pack and max pack versions to have included an onboard charger of 80 Amps.

Just signed a lease for a gen 2 R1S and I honestly couldn't be more excited. This company gets it. I love Rivian already. I can't wait to hit the open road with it. One thing that wasn't mentioned in this video is the audio. We opted for the premium audio and it absolutely blows me away. I've never heard a better system in my life. It's seriously good. I'm so excited about it. Totally worth the upgrade.

Tom, excellent and in-depth review with the Rivian engineers including upcoming software updates for our Gen 1 R1 vehicles. For the price we got our R1S before the March 2022 price increase, it's an absolute steal and we are going to keep ours for a very long time. The only thing I wish we could have in the Gen 1 is to be able to use the Driver+ on roads with divided roadways, not just 'mapped' ones. I would have liked a little bit more resolution on the front and back cameras, but not a big deal. It would come in handy for post incident issues. Love where Rivian is heading and their future is even more brighter than ever before.

Here and there, I see little glimpses of Rivian's software and UI in action. While I don't know enough to have a solid opinion, just based on aesthetics and first impressions, I like what I see. Much better than some other instrument panels I've seen on other EVs. What we see here might seem cartoonish or a bit childish, but look again. Part of a good UI is knowing what to strip out or simplify, and what to leave in. I think they're on the right track.

From driving the gen 1 RS1 I have one minor quibble. Since Rivian seems to be listening to feedback here, I figured I'd mention it. I wish the cruise control speed set was the roller instead of the buttons. Sometimes I need to rapidly adjust the speed and the buttons require a ton of clicks. If we're about reducing clicks, that's an easy way to gain some back. Rolling is so much faster. The Tesla works this way, so I know it's a better input device for this purpose. I'm hoping Rivian adopts that mapping.

If this were an ICE vehicle, would updates to CPU processing power, a new offering of engines, and more refined suspension be enough to consider it a new generation? For example the 5th gen Ford Mustang ran from 2005-2014. Even with the exterior changes that occurred in 2011, changes to the suspension, new transmissions and Ford dropping the 4.6l V-8 in favor of the 5.0L engines, they are still considered a 5th generation Mustang. I'll admit it is smart from a marketing perceptive to brand these and Gen2.

The 2024 upgrades sound intriguing! I only wish I could test drive one somewhere (anywhere) in Wisconsin. As long as I'm wishing, I'd like for there to be a service center within at least an hour drive as well. Oh yeah, I'd also like the option of leasing a Rivian. I don't think any of those things are too much to ask if the company wants to sell me one of their vehicles. Lacking the ability to go somewhere to test drive an R1S, I'd be fine with a 1-week loaner... :)

I’m waiting for my Gen2 R1T - 2 motor standard battery. (August/September) As a first time EV purchase, I can understand why people hesitate. Other than cost, they should simplify the choices. One battery for the two motor, and a bigger battery for the Tri/4 motor, simple. Paint and Interior options should be across the board. Not limited by model. I would be better off with a Honda Ridgeline, but wanted to try an EV before checking out. I paid the $2,000 for Ocean Coast, but have to accept Dark Ash for wood trim, when I desired Driftwood, with my very light grey interior. Can’t get the Dynamic roof. Too many expensive Nickle & Dime options. Take care of your entry-level market; it will be your most significant newbie demand-high volume, low unit pricing. If you keep the R2 at around 50k, you’ll achieve it. Though priced right, I can see the R3 could be the VW Bug of the EV world-high School and college parking lots filled with them.

Looking at the specs of the 2nd gen I suspect they lowered the vehicle height and clearance - thus reducing vehicle travel , reducing offroad capabilities a little bit by reduced costs in the suspension, likely more car like suspension components - Since you have had your R1S for awhile , you're not comparing new vs new , gen1 NVH improvements can be made if you switched to different or new tires.

Any insights into Gen1 Driver+ improvements? My biggest disappointment has been the lack of roads covered for such a pricey vehicle. Gen1s were heavily marketed as having advanced driver assistance capabilities with plenty of cameras and sensors. Rivian is on record stating the Gen1s were “future proofed.” Are the Gen2 seats any more comfortable? Mine are OK, but relative to my other cars a bit too firm, particularly on long road trips. Thanks.

After watching, I am even MORE FRUSTRATED with Rivian. I received my max pack mid December after placing a deposit in 2019. I have been complaining to Rivian almost from the beginning about the "squishy" suspension sound on any bumps under 30 mph (along with all the other noises and rough ride). Obviously they were well aware of these issues, particularly suspension, and there is absolutely no way i would have taken delivery had i known about these noises and even more insulting that with all my contact with them, they never acknowledged that they were working on these "normal" deficiencies. Finally after many, many conversations (the last one fairly heated), they are going to use some parts on the new generation and place them on my vehicle, but the fact is that i would have sold my vehicle and waited had they just been honest. Very dissapointed in a company/vehicle i wanted to love.

Rivian's system is called Driver+. Similar to Autopilot, it's not a hands-free system, but it's not as advanced at Autopilot or FSD.

Tesla self driving sucks in my area, I really wanted to like it, but I constantly had to keep taking over. The newest version was a lot better, but still drove worse than a teenager that just got their permit (in my area). So if Rivian self driving = Tesla, I still wouldn’t pay for it.

A warning to viewers that Rivian is widely expected to go into Bankruptcy in ‘25 should have been noted at a minimum. Anyone thinking of buying either of their cars now is taking a huge risk. Just ask Fisker owners.

This wisely follows Tesla in making the the most substantive improvements on the inside, where it really matters, rather than focusing on external appearances, like the OEMs do.

Tesla had the most to improve over the years, so it made sense that they would make updates to the vehicle under the hood mid-cycle such as improving suspension, road noise, dual pane windows, etc. Though there are examples of other vehicles in the industry that don't change much of the exterior styling for years on end but will offer improvements to the suspension, engine, trim, etc. The Toyota Tundra exterior went largely unchanged from 2007-2021.

Let's be real. This is the Rivian should have launched with considering what they charged for those vehicles.

Would love an R1S and it would be perfect if Rivian adopts Tesla’s FSD. Why waste the time and money on your own system when Tesla will probably be licensing out their system.

Too much like a sales pitch. It probably did not start out that way but I am disappointed that it was. How many times did we hear improved ride and quite especially wind and road noise? I'm a long time fan of yours and believe in your channel. This video didn't hit me well.

It's interesting to me that you say that. I am definitely impressed with the improvements and just wanted to explain them. Thanks for the feedback.

The big thing that stopped me from trading in my Grand Cherokee for an R1S was the ride quality. My Grand Cherokee with it's air suspension system was much, much better than the original R1S, so if Tom is saying that this new model is much better, then I really need to go test drive one to see if it can indeed be a replacement for my Jeep. So if that's the sales pitch, I'm okay with it and eager to experience the changes.

Why did Rivian put 22" wheels on this? They'd get better range with 18" wheels. I don't like the cartoon UI, but the bottom icons look like a copy of what Tesla has.
