The Rivian R3 Story REVEALED By Top Designer! 🌲 Full Interview!

[@brettdomenick]

Rivian needs to get the R3 out as soon as they possibly can. If they can get a car out that can start at under $40k msrp I’d buy it immediately. A good electric car that competes with the rav4, crv, and cx5 in price, side, and cool factor would crush at least in the ev market.

r3 reminds me of my first car. 78 VW Rabbit. i haven't fallen in love with a car design in 40 years

Super excited to see these come out. $RIVN to the moon 🚀🚀🙏

[@JoshWest247]

R3 & R2 will be epic no doubt! If things go the way I think… it could be $RIVN to Mars! 🚀

[@iBertz]

I think the rear wiper should be tucked under the lift gate spoiler. Other than that, I already started saving for the R3, can't wait for the reservation to open!

[@JoshWest247]

Thanks for watching! That’s an interesting idea with the rear wiper. The R3 will definitely be an awesome vehicle worth waiting for! Hopefully it releases ahead of schedule consider subscribing.

[@td4940]

I wish Rivian opened reservations for R3/R3X. I bet it would be bigger than reservations for R2.

[@JoshWest247]

It’s going to be interesting for sure. R2 will be an incredible vehicle, slightly more high end than R3 but R3X will be a Monster. Thanks for watching and sharing!

[@reconeix]

Like many others, I'm interested in the R3 and R3X moreso than the R2. I love the 80's rally car vibe!

[@JoshWest247]

I love the vibe too! The hatchback is epic! Thanks for watching and sharing! See you in the next video! 👋

[@toddbroeker8683]

Great coverage, as always! I’m a huge Rivian/RJ fan and immediately reserved an R2 when he rolled it onto stage at the reveal event. The one feature I really wish Rivian would do, that I think RJ’s dad has also wished for, is not a fixed panoramic glass roof, but one that opens, like GM and Kia/Hyundai offer. I’m tired of all the EVs with fixed glass ONLY, which all started with Tesla. For an adventure-focused brand, at least offer it as an option, to further distinguish Rivian. The best feature of the now-defunct Fisker Ocean is California Mode, where all the windows go down and the sunroof opens. At least Henrik had that right. It’s the one thing I’m not happy about with the R2/R3/R3X.

[@JoshWest247]

Thanks Todd! Appreciate your input! A power roof would certainly be a cool feature! Thanks for your continued support of the channel! 🙏 See you in the next one!

When my ‘07 Prius ever dies, the Rivian R3 is its likely replacement.

[@JoshWest247]

R3 will last you another 20yrs no doubt! Thanks for watching! There’s lots more Rivian content on the way so consider Subscribing so you don’t miss out. See you in the next video! ✌️

[@insidethecourt]

Absolutely in love with the R3! However for the designers, I don't like the split in the rear seat window. They need to redesign that to be one glass panel that can still roll down completely. Also, they should really keep the R2 features like the air compressor.

[@JoshWest247]

Thanks for sharing your thoughts and watching the video! Lots more Rivian content on the way! Rivian told me off camera that the R3 is going to be a “price fighter” vehicle meaning keeping costs down it paramount. The angle of the rear hatch does not allow for a roll down window. Given the lower price point of the R3 vs R2 we may see a few less features such as the air compressor. Consider subscribing to the channel if you haven’t already so you don’t miss out. R2 videos are on the way 🤫 See you in the next video! ✌️

[@insidethecourt]

@@JoshWest247 Thanks. I’m referring to the split in the back seat windows, not the rear hatch window.

[@truthbetold707]

Ryan Patrick Joyce it's a beautiful car!

[@JoshWest247]

💯 it certainly is! Glad you like it! See you in the next video! ✌️

[@CanonicGames]

Did you ask about the fold flat front seats? Is it true they dropped this feature?

[@JoshWest247]

Sadly yes that has been confirmed. It would have been a cool feature for sure. Not a make or break for most consumers though. Thanks for watching! Consider subscribing As there’s lots more epic content on the way you wont want to miss! 👍👍

Love the R3! Thank you for the thoughtful review from the POV of interior design. But can someone help Josh out with his choice of clothing; he is two sizes too big for the jeans and jacket. And I won't even begin on the "runners" (Canadian term for "sneakers" or "running shoes.")

[@JoshWest247]

Hey I like those sneakers! 😂 You’ll have to critique my outfit in my upcoming Rivian R3X video… 👋

We already know about the R3X but how about a Street version called the R3 Sport? Totally go after the GTI crowd.

[@JoshWest247]

Oh that would be SWEET! Lowered widebody! That would rip for sure! No doubt the aftermarket world will step up if Rivian doesn’t make a street version. Thanks for watching & sharing!

Awesome car, awesome brand! Just wish they would have more physical HVAC controls and buttons. Adjusting the air direction through the screen is a terrible design choice that should be phased out from all cars ASAP!

Buying that immediately for the wife once it’s available and I have the R2 reserved for me 😬

Reduce the Rivian logo size on the back & hide the back wiper.

Rivian is one day going to overtake Tesla in overall EV sales. VW, one of the largest automakers worldwide is on board wit Rivian and re-defining itself to incorporate a direction in EV that it will employ Rivian technology to get there. VW may even do an M&A of Rivian at this pace...

Rivian is stupid to have the R3 on hold. They should be devoting everything to getting this to market. It should be the absolute priority.
