I just want to say how awesome it is that a mainstream car reviewer is including all of us in his discussions and videos about what we want to see on the R1T. Well done Kyle! ??

I never understand the disconnect from the reviewers to the enthusiasts. You guys are our core audience!

Sounds like Kyle is ready to buy! That seems like high praise.

@OutofSpecKyle fun track you mentioned for audio testing. Don't know that you'd be able to find it on the truck, but here's a Spotify playlist I've been aggregating for a few years for headphone testing.

Great video, lots of little details. I really like what Rivian has done so far!

I mentioned this on Reddit, but I was really happy to see the ability to not auto-unfold the mirrors.

It's a regular nuisance on our Model S, which used to only unfold the mirrors when you opened the driver's door. Now they fold & unfold every time you walk by the car (with a key in your pocket), which seems excessive.

On top of that, if someone parked next to you has their door open, you now have to worry about your mirrors unfolding into their door. We somewhat regularly find ourselves waiting a ways away from the car just so the mirrors don't unfold when we don't want to.

This should be great, will watch as soon as I can carve out the time. Thanks for posting.

Does he cover how to change the Wake Word from Alexa to something else? Not possible? Or is there a push-to-listen button somewhere?

Ok - at approx 25:50, it appears you can shut off the Alexa wake word, while leaving her active. Which implies that it’s usable via a button - can anyone confirm?
