[@richardaguirre587]

@@firstbloood1 Yep the range of EVs are always 💩💩💩. Manufactors only give range numbers based on eco or conserved settings to milk out the most range they can present to the consumer even though no one drives so slow like how the Manufactor tested the vehicles. Let's not also forget about the terrible charging, you can expect to be waiting like a bozo to fill up the battery. Lastly truck's users usually carry a lot of load, so they can expect even less range.

[@TenaciousDougie]

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....

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.

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.

@@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.

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.

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]

@@troutguyCO Our roads are relatively small and narrow.

I’m a huge Tesla fan, and I can see they took a LOT of inspiration from Tesla with this. I really like though that there are some awesome original ideas. Looks like a really nice truck. I actually saw one on the road a week ago

[@MarTin-ku4lx]

Besides it being an EV, I’m curious what about the R1T is inspired from a Tesla.
