I'm a Betamax zealot myself. I will still debate Beta vs. VHS any day. VHS sucked. :)

I am a late reservation holder - placed deposit in Aug of 2022. There's no estimated delivery for me, and I have no configuration other than truck vs. SUV (I'm an R1S reservation). So my reso doesn't even indicate if I want quad or dual motors or anything. Just truck or suv.

Agreed, I'm sure he's a nice dude, and I'm happy that he's able to garner an audience. TBH too, this video wasn't nearly as weird and annoying as some of his earlier vids I've watched. So maybe he got the message. Or maybe I'm getting used to him! :-O

ROTFL! :D

I like your thinking but it doesn't always work, especially for people who buy because leasing doesn't make sense. For example, if you drive significantly over 15k miles per year, the depreciation curve is a lot steeper. These are the people for whom leasing doesn't make sense. If you drive...

Had to suck it up and watch his video anyway, just to see/hear what people were commenting on. :D I think his explanation of the range impact of tires isn't SO wrong. It's not exactly correct, but as a hand-wavy boiler plate comment meant for the masses, it's acceptable (and I'm an engineer...

Thank you so MUCH for the summary of key moments. I wish I could tolerate Jerry's "dulcet tones & distinct hand/eye/talking to the camera" but the dude drives me nuts. I can't watch him. :) I wish there was just a transcript of all his videos. Or that he had a version that was first-person...

Also, in addition to being a bigger component proportionately when the car is itself optimized to minimize aerodynamic drag, there's also the psychological factor of how much of the car's range a given change affects. In an ICE car, people don't even think about range. And even if they do, the...

Have you driven both an R1S and an X5 recently? The X5 drives very well on the road, and in on-road snow. I've never driven one "off road" and I've never driven an R1S. And yes, when a publication like C/D reviews a new vehicle, people take note, since they and only a few others, have the...

Tesla owner here; 2017 Model S75. What is "Tesla asst"? Are you talking about the uber-basic voice recognition where you can say "navigate to jones high school in Jonestown" and it will set up nav for you? If that's better than Alexa, I'm concerned, as my Tesla sucks at this.

Tesla AP 2+ (i.e. not the original AP1 developed by MobilEye) had similar growing pains when it was new. We found that the driver could very easily tolerate the weaving, but passengers could not. So, I'm curious: in the R1S when it was "weaving" as you describe, were your passengers aware, and...

Tesla has done similar things over the years. From 2016-2020, they continually reduced the number of options available, making the stock model S more and more premium. However, it also became a better and better deal at the same time, as the price increase of the "base" was much smaller than...

This is a huge bummer for me. I'm not big on luxury / fancy trims and interiors. Basic, quality, durable comfortable stuff is all I want, I don't care if it's wood or what color it is. If this trend continues they may price me out of a Rivian R1 altogether. Don't care about interior Don't...

I had one on my Dadge Dakota years ago and loved it. But I would take it off occasionally and go without sometimes. The main benefit I see for the R1 series of vehicles is two-fold: the R1S is not available without the 3rd row, and is not available with the 400mi max pack. Putting a camper...
