The GOAT of Rivian R2 reviews IS COMING!

[SCSEV]

My best guess is that Kyle will end up with a BMW. He drives a lot and the iX3 is a better road tripper. R2 is awesome and great for most people though.

I’m guessing BMW as well, but going with the IX5.

Nah...he's gonna buy another Model Y because he loves the FSD. BMW system is junk compared to it.

He's in North Carolina, he moved a while ago.

Thanks for the correction. I stopped watching his videos a while ago so that checks out

I don't know how anyone can stomach Kyle. Terrible delivery and just painful to listen to.

He does some good reviews…just skip to the end for his conclusions.

Haha. He's very knowledgeable and passionate about all things electrified, no doubt about that and seems like a good dude. BUT...he's pedantic, for better or worse. Like others have mentioned, best to fast forward to his conclusions or watch at 1.5-2x speed.

You don’t even need to watch any of it since YouTube have a summarize video AI feature

After deeper investigation the pivot point at which your 100% range starts to decrease on R2 is around 90 kWh capacity. This means on media the actual buffer is around 1.7 kWh.

I don't know why Rivian does this. The Gen 2 R1 Max Pack pivot is 141.5 kWh even though their communicated capacity is 140 kWh.

They might be accounting for the buffer at the bottom of the pack. If 90 kWh is 100%, maybe 0% is 1.7 kWh remaining, providing 88.3 kWh 100% to 0%.

Rivian just loans them a set of 21" wheels/tires for testing.....yeah they're not special at all

Don’t know about “GOAT”. Certainly one of the most verbose.

That's half of the haters. The other half are still upset that he didn't have to wait as long as they did to get an R1T.
