Personally, the timing of this video feels more like a 'throw the dog a bone' type of act that Rivian has become very good at.
Damage control. Sandy is very opinionated and can sometimes vote by emotion rather than being objective. He has a lot of viewers on his own and other YouTube channels. It was smart of RJ to get ahead of this rather than waiting for them to get their R1T and say something negative because Sandy can’t turn something on.

Haven't watched this video yet and will get to it when I am really bored, but in all seriousness anything in this video that we did not know about that is interesting or exciting?
Yes, we saw more evidence that the spare tire compartment cover is difficult to close --even RJ needed help. ;)

Yes, unfortunately, that really needed a "soft close" latching mechanism to ensure both latches are securely fastened.

From this pic, I am glad to see that COVID won't travel to the front seat occupants! :CWL:

Probably the very new weatherstripping keeping it from an easy close. I think it is supposed to be watertight.

Seemed a bit easier than any of our Tesla frunks... They are a pain to close without bending the hood. But, a soft-close option would be nice.

I don’t know about RJ but Sandy is just too pretty to cover that face ;)

People want a manly truck but they don’t want to mess up their manicure when they close the cover. If I got R1T, it would be for the spare tire and I would’t expect to use it that often.

I did love RJ's, "I'm not trained in Demo's enough" lol...as he continues to ask Brian Gase how things work.

I have only watched the first five minutes or so, but somehow Sandy has mentioned the Bronco, the F-150, the Ranger, and the Maverick.

This was a good watch, enjoyed the content on the Rivian but the host is a complete moron. How do we have contact creators this dense and stupid with so many views on YouTube I don't get it at all. These guys aren't even trying, does this old fart not even bother to do 1oz of research before meeting the ceo of a company? I'd be embarrassed.

You might want to do your research on who this is….
