Why We Build Our Technology In-House | Now & Forever | Rivian

[@nybe]

it's definitely not the same vehicle I bought in July 22... it's evolved beyond my expectations. I love my R1T.

[@AnthonyAlvarado78]

Got my first one...traded in my tesla and let me tell you, rivian has a ton more passion than tesla. I hope they don't lose sight of customer first.

[@NewtonNuggets]

same. I love my r1s

[@jysmtl]

Well stated. Evolved way beyond expectations.

[@pharmatographist]

Got my R1T in January ‘23. Just the suspension updates alone have been magic. It also used to drain like crazy, and that’s been improved.

[@VincentPowell]

Nothing like a warm coherent CEO of life changing company. Not enough like RJ.

[@kensai7]

this: coherent! the other CEO might be brilliant, but OMG the everyday drama kills the fun! 😬

[@jachnguyen]

I like how Rivian keeps us in the loop with everything they do. Their presentation is transparent from inside out on how they build their vehicles and the breakdown is impeccable. The Rivian community is something else. Can’t wait to be part of it, R2/R3 🙌🏽

[@InfamousWolf89]

As someone who currently drives a Subaru Crosstrek, I'm seriously excited for the R3 in several years.

[@greenmatrix30seven]

I drive a crosstrek too but if I had the chance to get a Rivian id go w/ the r1s

[@davidcarroll8735]

We have an R1T and Forester, which I think is a perfect combination! The R1T is the first one out of the garage 99% of the time, we both love it.

[@milobookout267]

Same! As an SG Forester owner, it's between the R2 and R3 for my eventual replacement vehicle. All depends on the roof line length.

[@josephardieta5697]

I love showing people the interior with sleek lines and real wood trim. They love it. Then, I put it in sport mode and punch it. That's when they start to really love it.

I want a R2 in The Netherlands. Such a nice car! Congratulations with the investment from Volkswagen!

[@electrifiedmotors]

Such progress and staying humble. Congrats team Rivian I have smile everyday getting behind the wheel. Bring those updates to Gen 1 please. Camera blind spot and theather mode.

[@nimblybimbly4002]

0:26 Thank you for mentioning price-point. In my opinion, every version of the R1T doesn't need to have tech to the moon. Make a stripped down "work truck" version and price it in the same ballpark as ICE trucks. I'd be first in line. But do it before Ford figures out they can put the Mach-E drivetrain under the Maverick.

[@ericwood3709]

Really looking forward to R3 in particular. The design appeals to me and is the sort of thing I'd want as a replacement for my diesel Cruze.

[@SecretCollage]

I hope you guys stay around for a long time.

I’d love Rivian to be in France 🇫🇷!

[@Jmaninaz1]

I watched an interview with R.J. just in the last couple of weeks--it sounded like Rivian will definitely be coming to Europe, although I wonder with the smaller streets there that it will be with the R2 and R3, but stay patient, Rivian is indeed coming to your shores!

[@SammyGeek]

[@frankcoffey]

Go, go go! Rivian makes really nice products. Great looking vehicles.

[@thedownwardmachine]

So looking forward to the R3X. The demand for an EV hot hatch is so strong yet for some reason no one cares to fulfill it.

Rivian is easily multiples of times the company that Tesla is. The interior of Rivian vehicles is amazing, the fit and finish is fantastic, the lines where body panels meet on the exterior is perfect compared to many Tesla vehicles I’ve seen and driven. Additionally, you don’t hear about disgruntled employees at Rivian however, Tesla is a different story! Thank you, Rivian for being an exemplary company. Please continue making amazing products..

[@4literv6]

And rivian has all those issues and more just read the rivian forums and talk to a real rivian owner! Oh yeah and rivian has already burned more capital up to NOW than tesla raised in its entire existence. Forbes says rivian consumed over $20,000,000,000 since 2019. Ad in rivians debts vs cash left and they are near to worthless! Vs tesla has more in the bank today then they raised with almost no debts and of course operates 5x the factories, has over 5x the employees, operates the world's 2 most efficient automotive plants for 3+consecutive years! Tesla does 30x rivians sales and also makes home&commercial spec chargers, solar panels and solar tiles, software, motors, inverters, car home&grid scale batteries and they offer more model's to. But keep on banging that tiny little drum set for good ole rj! 😁

[@caydenthompson126]

What about their driver assistance compared to Tesla?

[@jamesengland7461]

Rivian has come nowhere near where Tesla has been for years. You don't have to make up false claims against Tesla to appreciate that Rivian is making great strides to join Tesla as a leader in the future, largely by following their lead.

[@davebertoletti]

Guys, you’re building and astonishing product but you’re also keeping the outlook for your strategy and mission for decades ahead. This is how it’s done. Small steps that generate constant growth and improvement, so your vehicles become more that a mere sum of their parts. Keep it up!

[@pinkelephants1421]

You could also reduce cost of energy by installing solar canopies to the external storage including the WOW yards, if you have them, and carparking areas including those parts of the carpark that are used for circulation. Usually carpark solar canopy systems only cover the airspace directly above the parking spaces but this means only ⅔ of potential ☀️ power generation capacity is utilised, leaving the final ⅓ wasted. WOW yards (Warehouse On Wheels) have HUGE solar power generation capacity potential, especially where companies are looking to transition their fleets to EV. Outdoor spaces, when either empty or not at full capacity, still attract the same costs [maintenance, property taxes, security, lighting, insurance] as when fully utilised. Therefore, making those spaces work harder in their three dimensional capacity rather than just the two dimensional, is simply logical and good business; also a great PR opportunity.

[@ilmostro16]

I want a Rivian. Looking forward to the R2 and R3!

[@vikvc]

I like the Rivian, but my issues are found in all EV brands. I want interface that isn’t dependent of a touch screen, or lack of cluster. Physical controls, handles on doors that are just that, no motorized pop in-out handles, a solid roof. Not quite a no frill cars, but also something meant for real life. I hope to one day being able to afford/justify an R3 but meanwhile I’ll stay with automakers that just make sense.

[@betticat]

[@gustarchitect5326]

Why does Rivian have only one headlights style?

[@unvjustintime1]

How’s that CarPlay coming along? ????

[@Ghostiator]

So cool :)

[@jg11596]

I intend for my next vehicle to be a BEV and am waiting for the next generation of solid state batteries to move into EV ownership. For the EV’s currently available, I like what I see from multiple auto companies. The one area I dislike is the use of touch controls for HVAC, Infotainment, seat movement, etc. Driver use of touch controls is dangerous as it almost always requires the driver to move their eyes from the road to the screen - this is dangerous and a significant safety issue. I want to see auto companies design controls using ONLY mechanical knobs, buttons, and switches. This feature will have a big impact on my purchase decision. I believe touch only controls should be made illegal in moving vehicles.

[@oj9886]

Why is thermal battery management still an issue. Why are you not working on making charging faster or an 800v architecture. It really is surprising to me

[@Michael-wy7om]

If certain components can’t be worked on like I experienced when they had to replace my battery pack because a component went bad in my 22’ R1-T. When the warranty is expired is Rivian going to charge customers for a brand new battery pack because a component needs replaced and you can’t access it without tearing apart the battery pack? I love my truck but do I need to sell before the warranty is up?

[@Michael-wy7om]

Ok so the new battery packs with access panels to work on individual components will be installed as courtesy upgrade.👍

[@MichaelGustavson]

Rivian and Tesla are the only vehicles with decent software

[@taggerung890]

hardware feedback - please change the design of the frunk to open like the Lightning (includes parts of the front of the nose) - the lift over is awkward and difficult to use

[@hoopdyhop76]

It’s designed that way because of the deeper water fording it allows. The rivian is made for off-roading and that dictates the design decision, the ford isn’t. While I agree with you that it would be nice to load the frunk in my R1 easier like the ford, I wouldn’t trade it for the decrease in water fording. If you want a more street biased vehicle by a lightning or an EV9(which has no real usable frunk)

[@jysmtl]

I’d rather have the deep frunk, as it is now.

[@taggerung890]

@@hoopdyhop76 that's a fair point. I can see how a lower opening could jeopardize the water seal. the theoretical fording depth of the R1T is 43 in or about 3.5ft so a low front opening frunk might not work. However I believe that's it's not actually safe to drive through water that high in the first place as the car could float (even at 7k+ lbs) in about 3ft of water

[@akauppi2]

Didn't really say anything. Have a look at recent Intel videos. They actually discuss the processes and tech details. Title implied you would as well.

[@jg11596]

My next vehicle will likely be a 3 row EV. All EV companies need to redesign their controls to use MECHANICAL switches, knobs, and buttons. Touch controls are ok for cell phones, but cause distraction and reduced safety in vehicles.

If i had the money to buy a vehicle right now since my fathers truck needs work, i would upgrade to this over any other fully electricl vehicle truck currently.
