I thought this was outstanding in the information RJ S., Wassym B, and Jeff H provided.
I was able to easily watch at x1.5 to x1.75 speed

People love to hate on Kyle, but he's respected enough to get some significant 1:1 time with RJ.

I've honestly learned so much from @OutofSpecKyle and team in the lead up to my R1T delivery. I'm not a laymen by any means, but understanding the nuances of the vehicle and it's limitations, makes for a better overall owner/user experience.

My only beef with Kyle (other than the videos being a bit long-winded) is that he often talks over anyone else on camera with him, and he can come across as a bit of a know-it-all. But you're right, I've learned so much about Rivians and EVs in general (particularly regarding battery chemistries and charging) from watching his channel.

Will check this out. To be fair he goes on a lot of interviews and this recent one was great about autonomy and R2

 

[OutofSpecKyle]

Thanks for sharing - I’ve worked on trying not to talk over people in the last few years!

Would love your opinion on the 400v v 800v charging feature amongst the competition, and whether 400V will be fine for the foreseeable future or if 800V will become a must-have soon. Thanks!

Edit: if you have a YouTube clip about this topic, I’ll definitely watch it!

Kyle is a human being, and I give him the same grace I give other human beings. We all have faults. Regardless, his content is excellent. Kyle likes to dig into the technical details, which I love. Sure, he talks a lot, so I speed up the video, but I speed up most videos. People in general talk way too slowly. LOL.

I wish someone asked him about the cloud launch interior color straight up.

Can anyone provide a TLDR?

 

[savethemanual]

Yeah, Kyle stays authentic to who he is. Love it or hate it, I do appreciate that quality!

Agree. We always have a choice to either watch his stuff or not. I dont understand people that watch the whole thing and then complain. My wife has been telling me for years that I talk over people. I only recently heard her because I was talking over her.

ChatGPT can...not sure if allowed to paste it here

 

[macb00kemdanno]

Watched the whole thing after dinner. Love how enthusiastic the Rivian folks are about the R2, and Kyle just let their exuberance shine through.

One thing that I appreciate about the RJ segment in particular is that he seems to listen to the entire question, digest it a bit, the take the time to formulate a well-reasoned response.
