New Gen 2 Rivian review video by Out of Spec

[Gen(R3)Xer]

You can't pay me enough to click that Play button to see how long it is, my over/under is 31 minutes. And I'll take over.

Haha. It’s one of Kyle’s shortest videos at 32 minutes and 50 seconds.

Hilarious that he released this video with his referral code

I know it's cool to dump on Kyle but overall his videos are pretty informative. The DS lease is a crazy value right now and the charging curve is attractive.

Is there a better reviewer on YouTube?

Kyle strikes me as the guy who needs you to believe he's tough and cool because of his significant insecurities. Kyle, you gotta build that confidence internally. We can't give it to you. That's why he likes his CT. Seems to be a common personality attracted to CTs.

That's a low blow. I'm not saying you're wrong but damn, that's cold. Then again, he actually paid money for a CT and is willing to be seen in public in it. That's crazy.

Not even trying to be mean. I'm just calling it as I see it.

I think charging curve speeds is still an issue and that really noisy heat pump. Rivian probably threatened to no longer invite him to the cool kids party. This is his way of getting back into their good grace.

Does everyone else remember when he got a R1T at a discount even though he didn't have preorder and jumped to the front of the line because he's got a Youtube channel? I remember. That's a sponsorship any way you look at it and it should have been disclosed every time he made a Rivian video. Don't accept gifts from the companies whose products you review and if you do, the least you can do is disclose you're a paid sponsor. Maybe he's looking for a new discount?

That cheeky bastard.

Sorry, I didn't mean to suggest it was intentional. As a Youtuber, maybe there was a few moments where you could convince yourself that buying a CT was a good call but at this point, the thing is radioactive. There's no way to own one without associating yourself with toxic politics. It's not just a car anymore, it's a statement. I'm not sure there's ever been anything like it. I guess the closest is the Hummer H2 but that pales in comparison.

Alex on Autos and the sister channel EV Buyer’s Guide are far better reviews.

Exactly he is angling for a discount or preferential treatment even though he is loaded and doesn’t need any financial support from Rivian.

I met him in person when he was filming some content for Magna back in March of 22. Never found out what the fallout in their relationship was, the video they were producing was supposed to be made public. I was invited to get the facility tour, didn't have time to stick around for the lap they did after to film. It was a pretty cool experience, as I didn't usually get to see the entire facility when I was working in them. And yeah, I obviously was only invited because of my Hummer.

He seemed like an okay person. I think youtube attracts the type of people who crave attention in general, especially ones that are trying to make it a career. I haven't been watching most of his videos since then because of the sheer length of them. Definitely don't care to watch any of his CT content, as it's not a vehicle I'm interested in.

He's angling for an early R2. lol.
