I have learned that a lot of reviewers are too lazy to learn how to pronounce Rivian correctly.I'm not sure I learned much from the "reviews" but I'm trying to stay positive.

My guess is the Sharkfin, it is in the back of the R1S and seems to slope down. If that is the tallest point I can see it being lower.Well, that's curious. The C-Net article claims the R1S is an inch less tall than the R1T. I wonder where that inch is coming from? I doubt it's any of the body components, they'd want to use as much the same as possible?
Iām going next week, not bringing the pups but will compare the height to my Jeep GC to the R1S. Our dogs are border collie/ husky mixes 65 and 75 pounds, 4 years old and easily jump in and out of the Jeep GC.Do any of these reviews/videos show a dog jumping into the back? If not and someone is going to Venice next week, bring a dog and post a video of them jumping in the back! The rear gate looks too high even for my reasonably athletic 50-lb dogs.
Reminds me of Tesla.I have learned that a lot of reviewers are too lazy to learn how to pronounce Rivian correctly.

Thank you! My pups get into my 4Runner just fine but due to the liftgate mechanism, it looks like it adds another 3-4 inches of height.Iām going next week, not bringing the pups but will compare the height to my Jeep GC to the R1S.

I thought someone would spend a bit more time on storage behind 3rd row.... I guess they were mostly too busy complaining about lack of space on 3rd rowsI have learned that a lot of reviewers are too lazy to learn how to pronounce Rivian correctly.
I have never lived in NYC, but I have family up there. Houston is pronounced Howston. I believe there is also a Howston in Georgia. Interesting fact, it is pronounced Howstun because the last name was spelled Houstoun, but the extra u was dropped from the spelling for some reason.Reminds me of Tesla.
Turns out everybody pronounces it differently. With a S, long S or a Z.
When asked, Elon used the Z pronunciation and the interviewer offered the S version. In the end, Elon agreed on Z or long S.
My point is who cares about the pronunciation of an invented name? (Unlike Rivian, Tesla is a real name).
Ever lived in NYC? You might be intrigued by how New Yorkers pronounce Houston Streetā¦
Sure, but Rivian is an amalgamation of two real words that pretty much everyone knows the correct pronunciation of: RIV(er) and Ind(IAN). It is not really that hard to come up with the "correct" pronunciation based on that......My point is who cares about the pronunciation of an invented name? (Unlike Rivian, Tesla is a real name).ā¦
You sure about that?Sure, but Rivian is an amalgamation of two real words that pretty much everyone knows the correct pronunciation of: RIV(er) and Ind(IAN). It is not really that hard to come up with the "correct" pronunciation based on that.
Yes. You'll note I said pretty much everyone. Exceptions proving the rule and all that....You sure about that?
Around some areas you'll hear Reever or Injun. So we could get Reevjun if we're going by that logic
So in the end, we might be able to agree that, even if some pronunciations can sound unpleasant for some, it doesnāt really matter or make a difference.Yes. You'll note I said pretty much everyone. Exceptions proving the rule and all that....
