R1S Reviews Master List: Jalopnik, Inside EVs, TFL, etc

[SoCal Rob]

You know, I know lots of people here have been (fairly) complaining about lack of a full size spare, and/or space to put one. But watching that TFL video, I couldn't help but think that a full size tire could probably be rigged to stand upright in that under-floor storage space.

Actually, if you combine the 28” and 6.5” from the measurements here https://www.thedrive.com/news/we-me...s-cargo-storage-to-determine-its-usable-space it looks like it should work.

It seems 3rd row for just for kids only..

Look at the KBB review video, 5'10" presenter fits very well.

TFL guy got back there and is 6'3". Granted tight, but no worse than economy class on most flights.

Sheet of plywood answered. Yes on width, but not on closing. 50x81"

So begs to wonder - can you drive with the gate open, will it freak out?

Do any of these reviews/videos show a dog jumping into the back? If not and someone is going to Venice next week, bring a dog and post a video of them jumping in the back! The rear gate looks too high even for my reasonably athletic 50-lb dogs.

While I don’t think this will answer your questions about the dimensions you want, there seem to be a lot of good measurements here: https://www.thedrive.com/news/we-me...s-cargo-storage-to-determine-its-usable-space

edit: Oops, just saw this was already posted here, too: https://www.rivianforums.com/forum/...s-cargo-area-trunk-frunk-storage-volume.6638/

Thanks. It was very helpful. Based on those measurements, it seems like there is only 24" to 25" max to play with for diameter which is not enough.

Don't think it will be fitting a full sheet, at least between the wheel wells:

I'm pretty thankful, I'd never have un-subbed from their channels if not for that mess. There are a ton of YTs out there providing insight and value, so much so, I don't miss any of the videos of Andre configuring vehicles on manufacture's websites.

Hate to be such a noob, but what it a TFL and a YT?

Ha I was thinking the same thing...

For most families her review is going to be the most useful.
At this point who cares about rally mode or 0-60? We all saw it with the T.
Not saying I loved her way of pronouncing Rivian but not being native I probably mispronounce it too ?

I'm going off this pic's width for entry. I think you might be right about one laying flat on the "floor". I wished these articles would do you know, logical things like CLEARLY state distance between wheel wells. I mean who the heck is going to load an entire refridgerator box in the back of their SUV *ignores people in Costco parking lot struggling*

YT. YouTube
TFL a car review channel on YouTube (The Fast Lane).

Meh. Zero interest in an SUV. Still waiting for a shorter cab / extended bed model, for real "work truck" use. I'll probably be holding my breath on that one for a while though. ?

I'm not sure I learned much from the "reviews" but I'm trying to stay positive.

RIVI-ONN? Video OFF. Bleh. Fine, I'll still watch.
