[@randacnam7321]

Looking at this from the perspective of a truck owner, there are some things that would be real good to implement for a fleet/utility version: 1: Metal roof with optional roofrack. Glass is prone to breaking from sharp concentrated force blows from things like pipe or board ends. For applications where a skylight is useful, have a conventional design skylight option with a metal cover. 2: Air compressor fitting and controls under a panel on the outside of the bed. Same with the 120V receptacles. Where they are as is, they would be prone to damage from cargo and are inaccessible when the bed is full. Also, any truck mounted compressor should have the balls for some pneumatic tool use, even if it requires designing in some air tanks. Impact wrenches are an obvious example. 3: 8ft bed. If you have to ask why, you don't own a truck. Depending on crumple zone design/requirements, you could make up for the extra length penalty with a shortened nose or even a flat front. This would also improve front visibility without the need for a front camera. The loss of the frunk can be made up for with a bed box. 4: Integrated MPPT algorithm in the charger and PV direct charging port so it can charge direct from a string or paralleled strings of 5 to 12 or so standard 60 cell PV modules (around 150V to 370V). This would allow for charging out in the bush at a good few kW. 5: Cloth or real leather seat options. Naugacow and hot vehicle interiors in tradie conditions don't mix. 6: When and where possible, actual switches and buttons for common use things instead of a touchscreen. Likewise, actual gauges and indicator lights instead of a screen for the instrument cluster. Less glare at night and would net a small power savings, since daylight visible TFT LCDs need bright and thus power hungry backlights. 7: Since you would still have a center console LCD for things like the backup camera, integrated diagnostics and troubleshooting. Customer fleet mechanics will thank you.

[@CalumRaasay]

Seeing you change the tyres is really interesting, something you don't often see in a lot of previews! That plastic cover to give the jack more reach is super clever!

[@Ismalith]

The plastic part is not a good idea though it will be horribly scratched after the first use and that is at least what I see as the biggest downside of the Rivian. It my has a lot of things that a good offroader hast but it also has everything in plastic, carbon fiber or otherwise very weak against scratches. So it feels way more than a lifestyle truck for people that never drive further than the next town but always talk about what their car could do if they would go offroad.

[@hi9580]

A problem that very likely could have been avoided if Rivian didn't offer (relatively low profile) 20 inch tyres as the only off-road tyre option. Typically 17 inch tyres are the maximum you want to have on a proper off-road vehicle. 18 or more inches easily get punctured. The alternative being 32, 35, 37 or larger inch tyres, but those are not as practical for daily use on asphalt.

[@littlejackalo5326]

@@hi9580 that's because they don't outfit terror truck based on fringe use cases. You outfit your truck based on order of importance. Off roading is something that will be done somewhere between never at the low end, and once a week at the high end. 90% of the Bell curve will be perfectly fine with 20s. The people at the top 5% will put new rims and tires, regardless of whether it came with 17" or 20" wheels. The bottom 5% will buy 22-24" wheels and 30 series tires.

[@dezsong5457]

It did. Nuclear powerwas displacing coal and gas everywhere in the 50s 60s and 70s. Then 3 mile and chernobyl happened, one of which was a control success story and the other was a cleanup success story. Still, to calm public fears regulations were tightened to the point of stifling any further investment and increasing lead times for construction to ridiculous degrees. Some of those regulations were neccesary but in order to get back on track we need to adopt the french model of approving one plant design and buildi g it in many places.

[@BlondieSuperdog]

No they don't. This will be a toy with limited range and huge charge times; it will not be a practical truck some one can use for work unless you barely go anywhere, let alone go out in the sticks where there are no fancy 40 amp chargers. Even then It takes 26 hours to charge on a 40 amp circuit. So you run out of power underestimating the loss in range in mountains and freezing weather with a load. You have to hike to a phone and try and find a tow truck that can "carry"a wide 8000 lb pickup. It can't be rope towed or pushed because that will damage the electric motors; it must be fully carried. Very handy; I will just run out and get one.

[@TodayWeTry]

@@BlondieSuperdog damn when range goes up and charge time goes down this comment will not age well. just sounds like you hate electric vehicles

[@BlondieSuperdog]

@@TodayWeTry not at all I hate people who try to mislead other people. No EVs live up to their mileage claims; not Tesla no one, but this is a truck; it will be needed to carry a load and tow - it will need to drive in rough terrain and in bad weather conditions all these cut deeply into battery power and reduce range. This is a very heavy truck weighing well over 7000 lbs. so to say one is doing a review and forget to mention charging times or how badly the range will be depleted in tough conditions will mislead trusting people who may buy one and find out they have a dog for their purposes. Lying by omission is still lying and I don't like liars.

@@Green__one And how many miles do you get towing that?

[@Green__one]

@@Robert-cu9bm that depends. Most gasoline and diesel powered vehicles see significant range penalties while towing, this is no different. The weight isn't the issue, wind and road resistance is. When towing a small trailer with my model S I see a 25% or so hit to range. They say worst case for rivian is 50% but that's probably extreme.

[@Robert-cu9bm]

@@Green__one The difference is with ICE your already starting off with far more range so losing some isn't a problem. It also only takes 5mins to refuel. Your can't get that with EV's, they're just not good enough to tow. Small trailer now and again, not full time towing heavy ones.

[@rcpsycho4356]

The only reason i have been so weary of the impending electric vehicle takeover is because companies seem to be shooting to remove the user driveability (if thats a word) and driving experience. Rivian seems to have really thought about how to make it enjoyable to control and drive without too much technology intervening. Good stuff I dig it.

Keeping the tire on the ground to break the lug nuts from their seat is the first thing my daddy taught me about changing tires. All three of us had to successfully change a tire on our own before he would even start to teach us how to drive. Looking back my father was a smart man, safely changing a tire should be the first thing anyone learns before getting behind a wheel.

[@Jeff_Rowley]

Life saving tire changing tip: when you jack up the vehicle, place the spare half under the body next to where you are working. So WHEN the jack fails, the vehicle falls and lands on the spare, saving your life. When you're ready to put the spare on, swap the old wheel under the vehicle. Remove once the new wheel is fastened on, then lower the jack

[@kyleolin3566]

I think it might have gotten amplified by the shitty microphones they use though - it was probably still heard in real life but not as loud as it was on the video It was actually not that high pitched - just about 5 kHz. A typical frequency where many bad microphones have large peaks in their sensitivity. The real high frequencies >10 kHz was badly attenuated instead - as clearly heard on the water splashes and gravel/rocks under the wheels (it sounds "muffled", like it was recorded thru a thick carpet, haha).
