R1S Entry Removed from "Dougscore"?

[popoga]

Hey all, I noticed that Mr Demuro's latest video, on the Mercedes-AMG G63 4xyadda blah blah, failed to benchmark that gorgeous anodized high-performance off-road SUV against at least 1 of its natural competitors: the R1S.

Seems like a weird omission, since the R1T is still right there. So I googled it, and found the official DougScore website (it's a thing I guess) here: https://www.dougdemuro.com/dougscore

And lo and behold, there's no R1S ranking there, either.

Did our guy get browbeaten into removing a score that rivaled the legendary F1? Cold feet on an overly exuberant score for a boxy offroader? Did he rethink the high value prop after the pricing changes (20% inflation from time of filming probably accounts for some of that, right, Dougie)? Is there some sort of self-replicating clerical error? A conspiracy of lizard people? Gamma rays from the sun flipping bits in a data center?

Kinda curious, either way.

[EDIT] yes, this is super duper inane, just a thing I noticed and was curious about, figured maybe someone knew what was up.

Still on his R1S video.

Right the video hasn't been redacted or anything, just wondering why it's not reflected anywhere anymore.

Doug is pretty interactive. I’d just ask him via twitter or Instagram and there’s a good chance he’ll respond to you.

Hmm, I'm not on either of those platforms but if the issue keeps itching me I might cave and sign up eventually, thanks.

I’ve watched many of his videos, he can’t put all the stats from previous vehicles in the comparison Doug score simply because at this point he has so many reviews it wouldn’t fit on the screen. He either forgot or didn’t think it was a comparable vehicle.. simple as that. The entry was not deleted, just not shown.

It's not shown in his complete list of Doug scores on his website though.

Oh I’ve never been to his website so I have no idea. Just watched his videos.

A conspiracy of lizard people?

This is of course a completely fabricated conspiracy theory. Completely fake. Say it with me ... fake.

OK, now I have to get back to tending my eggs and contacting the home pla ...

I mean, reading more about Rivian, yeah, that's it, nothing to see here ...

FYI I did hit up Doug on Twitter, I was kind of curious too, since at the end of the video he showed an entry in the Dougscore spreadsheet:

Doug got back to me, said the score will be added

Rivian R1S is also Doug’s car of the year:

UHH, spoilers, my dude.


Very cool tho, fuming over here in my beautiful but apparently second-rate R1T.
