Man you know inflation is getting high when Marquess needs to pick up a side gig as an Amazon Driver 😆

I am an Amazon DA based in NYC, and we have gotten hold of these beauties recently and have been driving them around for the past 4-5 months. It is quite literally revolutionary and honestly the design focused around the driver is so much more efficient compared to the gas cargo vans. It feels like a spaceship tbh. Only complaint is the sound system. It is not good. Rivian if you watch this video and read the comments please update that somehow. Would really appreciate it!

Hey Rivian, you should start selling this as vans to retrofit for camper life, they look sick and the space is huge
-
As Amazon delivery driver and driving EDV for around a year I truly love it. Just wish Amazon didn’t pressure us so much 😞
-
they really missed a chance to call it the rivivan
-
Just for anyone who also noticed. At 4:23 you got the sides reversed. the pocket door is sidewalk , the regular door is typically the street
-
I worked for the USPS when Amazon just started doing their own deliveries in my area. It's amazing to see how far they've come from being gig workers in unmarked cars to driving these vans that probably outmatch anything any delivery company has in terms of driver comfort. I was 26 years old driving an LLV with no heat, no AC that broke down monthly and was older than I was. This would have been an absolute dream.

I love your videos! Small correction at 4:20 you have it backwards. The sliding door (passenger side) would be to the side walk and the regular door (drivers side) would be into oncoming traffic assuming a 2 way street.
-
It's a full circle moment for me, from watching MKBHD videos for tech reviews to becoming an automotive engineer only for him to launch a new auto channel and review the van I helped build at Rivian.

THIS is a use case where EV makes a TON of sense...driving around town, low speeds, lots of stop and go, charging and overall battery maintenance can be tightly controlled, etc? PERFECT use case for EV.
-
as a courier for over 20 years, this design looks amazing, the step van style is great, and this thing takes that flawless design and just makes it so much better. slick!
-
This van has so much potential for multiple industries that will need to transition to electric. Tradesman, construction, and most exciting of all-- RV. Vanlife would be sick in this Rivian Van.
-
You don’t often see any kind of products that are so massively designed for one purpose or customer. But when you see it and everything makes sense it’s just beautiful.

(4:20) The passenger side sliding door is where the sidewalks/houses/apartments would be, and the driver side door would be the side facing the street/road. This sliding door makes it easier to drivers to get in and out to make deliveries. #correction

I drove the 700 model for about 8 months before quitting. I've never seen a 500 model outside of the Rivian techs that would stop by the warehouse. It's a great step up from the pro masters we drove prior, but as much as it made the job easier, Amazon increased the workload to compensate. I could answer a million questions about these vans if anyone has any not answered in the video.

They really did a killer job designing this vehicle for the industry. Simple utility. The electric pass through and cargo doors are awesome. Also, the sides of the vehicle are Curbside (passenger) and Streetside (driver).
-
If Rivian made vehicle just like this for people that are in construction it would be widely appreciated because of its convenience and complexity in access compared to the older models and I could see a lot of construction workers buying a van like this.
-
Van life people would kill for this! AC all the time with giant built in batteries.
-
With a good battery, this would make a fantastic base for a campervan build. Brilliant vehicle.
-
Rivian is destined for greatness. I think they could even choose to enter the Semi market with the credibility a design like this gives them. They would automatically win on cabin ergonomics from day one.
