The Best Electric Car Ever Made - Rivian R1S Review

[@LinusTechTips]

Great video and great featured products! I especially liked the backpack and screwdriver. I guess there was a car in there or smth too... - LS

I love how you went from shilling Raid Shadow Legends to having people shill for you. You know you made it when.... And yes. I will get the screwdriver soon enough.

[@ealder]

Is it just me, or is the way Quinn shot this video just so satisfying to watch? Great quality, as always!

[@snazzy]

Benjamin did great work!

[@ansonx10]

yeah it's almost like a Top Gear segment, except without the comedy.

[@tetra1974]

the steep downhill ,and the quick turn dust trail video was beautiful ❤️

[@DREWTampa1]

Never considered buying LTT merch until seeing the brand on your channel, giving weight to the products, I might actually get a screwdriver now lol 😂

[@Kvantum]

This was the first real non-LTT coverage I've seen of the shop jacket. Anyone following tech KZbin knows about the saga of the backpack, but the shop jacket looks pretty cool in and of itself.

[@LightPink]

It's still an ad 🙄

[@Tomasthe1st]

I actually need that bookbag.

[@someoneonly]

The price is waaay too high for me combined with the shipping 💀

Well, I definitely didn't expect LTT to be a sponsor.

Quinn thinks through it, and gives you the best bits. His reviews are consistently thoughtful, well-researched, and consider the everyday use of things. I'm impressed - want more

The script, combine with the panning shots while comparing the T to the S were perfect. The subtlety and fluidity were satisfying.

[@LEGnewTube]

@jon when are you getting your LTT sponsorship.

[@brandenflasch]

If there was a 5 seat version with more cargo instead of a 3rd row, I likely would’ve gone with an R1S instead of an R1T. Man, I love the gear tunnel.

[@Aegisx5]

You know you can just leave the 3rd row seats folded down right?

[@SKCodesForFun]

You cut straight to the chase man, no BS about the feeling and emotion of the car. Good job

[@Skyfalcon12345]

Rivian needs to make a Minivan with the same powertrain configuration. Sliding doors, immense seating and cargo room, 1000 electric horsepower....that would be amazing.

[@TheFarmersLife]

I’m sure they will come but I wonder why we don’t see an electric van yet. My guess is the batteries would take up all the room a van offers assuming you have a frunk up front.

[@desundial]

Yes, please!!

[@huggeebear]

First saw the Rivian on Ewan McGregor’s Long Way Home show, where they drove it from the southernmost arctic tip of South America to Los Angeles. 9000 km. Through so many terrain and weather conditions. It’s a performance beast. Was super impressed by it. If I’m ever in the position to buy one, I’d take that over a Tesla any day.

[@DanAtmaja]

What's amazing about Long Way Up's Rivian is that the car is so new they're literally a prototype. And not just a prototype, but THE first prototype, with serial numbers 000001 and 000002. So new they need to bring Rivian guy with them all the time! Heck, the dash and buttons even looked like LMP racecars since Rivian don't have enough time to put center screen. Charley and Ewan's prototype LiveWire are amazing for sure. But the Rivian? Hoo boy, bringing the first prototype on that kind of journey is utter insanity.

[@ej_tech]

I remember watching LTT when they were still at the house. Damn.

I watch almost all car reviewers across the planet, watching you first time but I am really impressed by the level of detail and effort. Reminded me of Thomas from autogefuehl

[@TheHookUp]

Thanks for checking on the 4x8 sheet goods. I might be able to swing it keeping the tailgate up, I'm not totally against that. Maybe I could make a set of risers to get to the 4' wide height. I feel like I'd be a fool to not take delivery after I locked in pre-order pricing.

[@snazzy]

Agreed on pre-order pricing. It’s so good you almost can’t not buy it 😂

[@grantcreveling1965]

@@snazzy Does it include a tow hitch? in googling it does have one hidden under paneling and tows 7700 if google is accurate.. so could use a small trailer for that stuff to get it home.. or if you go to HD they have a panel saw that can chop it down too a more manageable size.

[@smallbusinessdreams]

@@grantcreveling1965 that's my plan. I won't destroy my inside with lumber!

Okay that was a pretty sweet LTTStore ad. Looking up the Rivian R1S price in CAD almost gave me a heart attack though lol.

[@masaytaka]

Your comedy with 3rd row of seats are a testament to how well mini vans were designed 🙃🙂

Benjamin doing great lately. Thanks, Doug!

[@scottbutler5]

Really appreciate your focus on the interior passenger space. So many EV reviews just cover the c00l tech, but I'd also like to know if I can fit my legs in the car.

[@Piketom1]

The R1S reminds me of the old school Nissan Pathfinder. It was a midsize SUV based on a truck. I am so happy to see Rivian bring back the trend of an SUV being a truck-based wagon.

[@mitchellsmith4601]

I always appreciate how thorough your reviews are. You point out both the good and bad in a product, I never feel like I’m watching a product advertisement rather than a review.

[@snazzy]

Thanks!

[@coloradomallcrawlers]

I’m a Jeep Rubicon off-roader, but I’m not so sure I’d shade the bronco like that. I’ve gone head to head with the bronco, stock vs stock, videos to be posted, but long story short, they perform similarly. These aren’t dirt roads… these are trails no one would take stock vehicles on. I’m personally looking forward to seeing what Jeep does with the recon… as an off-roader, there is potential with electric granted it doesn’t leave me stranded in the woods.

[@JKP836]

Ha! The first sponsored ad I actually watched interested. Nice! GJ LTT and Snazzy :)

[@kennybeverage]

Appreciate that you actually put the donut tire on the vehicle to show what it looks like. I hate changing tires.

[@MaxPrehl]

Came for the LTT ad, stayed for the Costco benchmark

[@Lamppostout]

I'm an avid Snazzy Labs viewer and I'm surprised that its only now (10/27 at 12:49 pm) that KZbin has suggested this video. Especially surprising since I've looked up R1S content in the past week. Excellent review, sir!

[@snazzy]

Strange. Roll out has been slow. Glad it came eventually. Thanks!!

[@dbaldwin2803]

I love that you’re using a ubiquitous (in Utah) LDS Church parking lot for filming.

[@mausx]

I didn't know about the existence of the workshop jacket. So I bought one using your referral link. Thanks!

[@snazzy]

Nice! Thanks!

[@cjaldrich1]

Great video. Man, I miss Utah. I just hope no Bronco owners accidentally stumble across this. I’m sure more than one will take issue with your assessment of their off-road prowess.

[@snazzy]

They'll be said, but I'm right lol Now the two-door Bronco... that'll out-do this.

[@Hydraulix]

Your videos are all good, but I love this car review. I think your editing and flow may evolve more, but your presence on camera and dialogue are among the best in the car-review business here. Hope to see you reviewing a Porsche soon :)

[@Melchirobin]

Amazing camera work guys the continuous shy when for the intro after the sponsorship was amazing.

[@mu_q9240]

I feel like this whole video talking about the disadvantages of being short and being sponsored by Linus is not a coincidence.

[@snazzy]

lol

[@jazzbuckeye]

I like that Quinn and Linus obviously have their own brand biases but are mature enough to be respectful about it and not wage stupid brand wars.

[@rubenharris9241]

Great review! Also interesting is that this is the first EV review I have seen where the reviewer didnt get hung up on talking about range 👍🙂

[@snazzy]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@YoutubeSupportOfficialUS]

Yeah I don’t realize people realize it would take a ginormous and cost prohibitive battery to tow and get great range. The technology simply doesn’t exist.

This is the only EV that really interests me after having SUV's for the last 20 years. It'll be awhile before I need to shop as I just bought a 2022 GX 460 last year, however, it gives me hope for the future.

[@evansanford7378]

Honestly best EV review I’ve seen. Will probably never have the money to buy something like this, but I look at the seat mechanics and my main thought is “how often would that make my life more difficult” and the answer is that it rarely would. (Currently using an 09 grand caravan).

Seriously amazing work. Excellent cinematography and production value, really enjoy you as a car reviewer.

Looking forward to you reviewing the Cyber truck next year. It’s suppose to be able to cross a body of water. Everyone trying to one up each other, we’ll see!

[@theoneandonlybosable]

Great video! The R1S is definitely a full size SUV though, it’s branded as such and it’s wheel base is for example more in line with an Escalade than an X5

[@snazzy]

Wheelbase, yes, cause EV but total vehicle length is closer to an X7. It’s about dead center between an X5 and Escalade. 97”, 103”, 111” respectively.

[@cinebenjamin]

It’s nearly the same size as my ‘12 X5 side by side. Only a few inches longer. The newest gen X5 is nearly identical.

[@NateDawg0007]

@@snazzy Wait is the X7 not considered a full size now? Pretty much all reviewers and cross shoppers consider the X7, GLS, Escalade non-ESV, and long wheelbase Range Rover to all be direct competitors.

[@theoneandonlybosable]

@@NateDawg0007 Yeah an X7 is full size. Legitimately a great video as usual from SL, but seemed to indicate the R1S is a smaller SUV and the R1T is a larger truck when the opposite is true relative to other cars on the market.

[@bobalis]

R1S is 200.8 inches (according to Google) in total length. Kia Telluride (Midsize SUV) is 196.9 inches. BMW X7 is 203 inches. Shortest Escalade is 211.9 inches. R1S is basically on the border of being a full size SUV but still is mid size. VW atlas is 200.7 inches and that’s considered midsize too.

[@charleydumas5514]

[@JustekGaming]

I seem to be enjoying find these LTT sponsorships on the other channels that I support

[@headwerkn]

Big ups on this one Quinn. Have to admit the Rivian is about the only vehicle at the moment I can get really excited about, even if they’re still unavailable in Australia and likely to be pushing near AUD$200K by the time they ever do. Curious as to when Tank Mode is gonna be enabled too - no one talks about that these days?

[@ProjectForgePrd]

Tank mode is gone, unsafe and destructive to environment, it was a feat that the captured it the first time

[@axson8]

There was never a tank mode. They lied in the advertising by using clever editing to make it appear that it was capable of doing it. So far all Rivian has done is remove features and accessories because they can't make them right, there is nothing to be excited for unless you're an Amazon stock holder when they buy them out from Bankruptcy in the next 5 years.

This thing looks so nice. I would definitely trade the X for it at this point but don't want to put $1k down to wait a year. We'll see what happens when production is ramped. It seems those third rows always have big sacrifices, and I agree putting seats up and down 100% should be powered.
