That's a nice video to help me better understand the Rivian. Thank you for posting.

My takeaway is that Rivian is still in business. With the deafening silence, I was starting to question myself.

In all seriousness, most drivers will rarely replicate any of those videos, but Rally may be my mode of choice.

I did like the torque disbursement display. Would be nice if they added that as a car status view.

Audio was great. Excited to off-road without a noisy engine.

All over your Patagonia Flannel and prAna pants!
Same.

They didn't mention it on the video, bit it's in the owners guide now and I don't remember seeing it past year. Is "sport launch" new?

How hard would it be to make another video titled “Hey, here’s our other vehicle the R1S”?

Nearly impossible.
I have yet to see a job posting for CG Specialist. Photoshop is really difficult with motion video.

Off road drift sure looks like a blast. Although I will never do it with my own truck. Where's Chad?

On Instagram stories, the 8 modes are intro'd with a slide that says: "We are launching with eight drive modes for the R1T..."

Maybe its semantics but the word "launch" really gives me a bad impression - didn't Rivian launch in 4+ months ago when it "sold" R1Ts in September?

Their communications and production teams really need to get together and figure out what they are doing. This should also include Service and RAN buildout units. Management is failing at management.
The R1 could be an epic success if Rivian departments worked as a cohesive unit.

- Awesome video, production quality, scenery and audio
- 95% of the time I'll be in All Purpose or Conserve, but still awesome to see capabilities
- Excited about Rivian Blue
