I was able to take a test drive of the R1T from a very kind forum member here. Will still take Rivian up on a first drive in the future if possible! Was too busy chatting and enjoying the experience to take any pictures.

This truck is incredible. The acceleration is just insane! I felt like I was the character playing Henry Ford ii in Ford vs Ferrari:




The trucks seats are very comfortable and believe it or not, from my driving position the backseat has more legroom than my full size 2008 Sierra Denali even though its specs show quite a bit less. This was probably the last generation of GM trucks before they got really large; especially on back seat room.

I can’t wait to have my own. Early 2021 reservation so likely have a bit more time.

Did my own mobile First-Mile test drive a couple days ago... that scene is a great expression of the shock & awe that sets in after the first zero to Holy Shit acceleration in the driver's seat. It goes so quick that your brain truly takes a moment like, "wait.. did that just happen?"
