Yeah I was going to say the same thing, I watched this video yesterday and about 5 minutes was about his Rivian.27 minute video, less than 5 minutes spent on the Rivian. I used to like Rich Rebuilds when he was fighting Tesla, but his schtick got old real fast.
All of his videos are like that. I unfollowed him like 2 years ago because he would do that clickbait crap where he would talk the subject for 2 mins in between 50 mins of boring rebuildSeriously, this video was such a flipping bait and switch!
I am totally with you @Electric Rivilution - I used to watch his content when he was fighting Tesla on things like right to repair and the bullshit they put customers through when buying used or even new Tesla's.
What the hell was this video about? Fixing up a Volkswagen Rabbit pickup truck?
Bad Rich. BAD RICH!
So I guess he would have the same complaint with a 21 year old Avalanche but not enough clicks to mention this isn’t unique to Rivian, Tesla, or any other electric truck.His point about the repair is Rivian needs to make the truck bed separate from the body so repairs are easier and cheaper.
he mentions the Honda ridge line had the same single piece design before they redesigned it with the separate bed.So I guess he would have the same complaint with a 21 year old Avalanche but not enough clicks to mention this isn’t unique to Rivian, Tesla, or any other electric truck.
That may be another swing & a miss. I don't think Ridgeline has a separate bed. As I recall the 2nd gen Ridgeline has a crease in the body to mimic the look of a "traditional" truck bed but it's still a unibody. A very quick look at the Honda site seems to confirm it.he mentions the Honda ridge line had the same single piece design before they redesigned it with the separate bed.
Man this video was cringe as heck I couldn’t with all the sarcasm and back and forth I feel like he needs to take some Ritalin before filming or something lol sorry. Then posting it here for clicks…
Thank you for this post!Yeah I was going to say the same thing, I watched this video yesterday and about 5 minutes was about his Rivian.
Long story short for anyone who wants to know, his Rivian was rear ended and it took months for Rivian to repair it because there was only one shop that worked on Rivian. Rivian did give him a R1T loaner while he waited for repairs though. He got the truck back eventually repaired and lent it to a friend who backed into something. His point about the repair is Rivian needs to make the truck bed separate from the body so repairs are easier and cheaper.
