A few thoughts on the Rivian R1S Quad-Motor:
-It is shockingly fast. Not just for an 8,500 lbs SUV but even for sports car standards. Absolutely massive power and performance.
-Very well thought out cabin. Tons of storage space, creative solutions and little quarks like a built in flash light.
-While the infotainment lacks any physical buttons, it’s fairly intuitive and user friendly - but no CarPlay available.
-The suspension needs works. The ride quality feels stiff and a bit clunky for a vehicle at this dollar value. Hopefully something Rivian will improve on in the future.
All in all, it feels like a vehicle from the future and makes us more excited for the potential of EV vehicles.
