@@danielhowell1640 Where there's a will, there's a way. Back in the day, finding gasoline was a big issue. We found a way and now it's not an issue. Before that the rich rode horses. It was a pain to find somewhere to ride to where you could stay overnight and give the horse some food and water before they slept. Then the Wild West happened and things changed. I can charge my electric car at home. My solar panels are almost net zero in terms of production and how much we use. As time goes on, more people will think like this and we'll find better ways to produce power. Maybe it's the next generation of nuclear. Maybe we really ramp up solar and wind over a large portion of the US and distribute the power better than we do now - instead of having State controlled power distribution that 'sells' power to other states. Why isn't power a national thing? Why isn't water a national thing? Add in power stations that run on natural gas or similar and have them running at low level and ready for ramp up when needed. We'll always need power of some description we just need to figure out the best use to environmentally friendly ratio.

Test drove it in the "First Mile" and it has a very solid suspension. Very smooth. The acceleration is very impressive. I had never been in a vehicle that had that much hp to torque ratio. I was pinned to the seat on the 0-60 test. The R1T has some xtra gadgets that any camper would like. The stove is very nice. Clean looking and it fits in a nice neat package. One of the guys there said you could put two tents on that Truck. One on the roof and one in the back. You can't do 2 tents with the R1S, but you can do 1 tent. The tent is high quality and fits my wife and 2 kids with ease. The blue is about 50 percent better in person. The Forest Green is very dark. At one point I thought it was black. Our test was at 4:15pm and the sun wasn't at it's strongest. The Launch Green is like an Army Green. It's a nice color for that truck. Rivian should of made a Desert Tan. The guy said yellow is nice at first, but you would get tired of it after awhile. Didn't see any other color. The horn is decent. Good horn. The lights are nice, but I didn't get to see how bright they were, it wasn't dark enough. The size of the R1T on the inside would fit 4 6'2 guys with ease. You can put 5, but think of the smaller person a child of 10yrs or an adult at 5'2. The dash is what it looks like. Clean. The seat material seems very strong. The guy said the truck had 4400miles on it and hundreds of people constantly and I couldn't see any wear on the seats at all. No crack lines, nothing. So I asked the guy if it cleans up that well and that is where the interior is flawed. It is plenty durable, but it has that plastic that shows dirt and use that doesn't clean up that well. It isn't a deal breaker, but you better expect that scuffing and dusty like wear look. If you are a camper, who cares. If you are a clean freak, you might figure something out. Steering wheel is really nice. Side mirrors are not my favorite, but you can get use to them. Under the 2nd row seats has these compartments that are pretty cool, think small tools. The frunk fit both my 9 and 10 yr olds with ease. I asked the lady there if you could fill the trunk up with ice and water for drinks and she said that they go around to the back and use the spare tire well for that. Each well(frunk and spare tire in the rear) has a drain plug for when you are done. O yeah, during the drive section, through the bumps and rocks, there was no cab sound. No rattle or noise from interior things hitting. My wife has seen the R1S at a factory tour, but she doesn't pay attention to detail so I couldn't add any comments about that vehicle. Hope this helps. May Jesus bless you in the years to come!

What's most impressive thing about this, it's the very first vehicle by a brand new automaker, and yet it's designed to be able to do this from factory The on paper specs say the R1T should be able to do this stuff easily.......this thing has 800hp and over 900lbs/ft of torque that's more then any other truck including the TRX FFS

Gotta 5T myself and though I love it, my electric cars are less hassle (no fiddling with pull starts etc just turn on and go)…..but more so…just so damn versatile….speed runs, track racing, crawling etc etc etc…decent lipos arent that pricey any more so you really can have fun for hours on end……gotta agree with you, if we’re messing with lipos in our toys, imagine what the boffins have got lined up for the big scale stuff lol

@bob builder how are you going to pump gas when the gas pumps and POS systems are ran by electricity? Are you going to volunteer to suck the gas from the tanks buried in the ground with your mouth and make change with cash for everyone?😂 Where are you going to go? I live in Houston and have experience with both the power grid and hurricanes. 😂 There were plenty of dead cars on the side and median of the road waiting for the maybe one or two gas stations that had a generator. Many of the cars ran out of gas in line for gas. 😂
