I like that you really use your truck, not like most people just buying it with no need or use. You’re a real truck guy.
-
Not sure if you remember, but the Rivian we drove in Colorado for the Test Drive had a broken Truck Bed Cover. It would not open or close and was stuck in about the same spot as yours.
-
The "can't drive while door open" thing really gets to me. That is absolutely insane what if the door sensor breaks or there's an emergency. Even the falcon wing doors on model X allow you to drive with them open
-
Any safety system that prevents driving depends on perspective. How common is that preventing driving due to open door saves a life compared to needing to take off quickly in an emergency: falling tree, bear attack, volcano. I wouldn't want to be dealing with a door jam due to a bush while trying to take off from a grizzly or moose attack. I'll vote for the driver being in full control of safety, as they are the one responsible for the vehicle. The vehicle on the other hand doesn't have the intelligence to determine when to correctly adjust safety measure depending on the situation.
-
The automatic bed cover breaking is not a small thing, that shouldn't happen after minimal use and 1500 miles, and it absolutely should be covered under warranty.
-
I think a genius solution to the automatic bed cover issue would be to not have an automatic bed cover.
-
This video is produced so well! The camera placement, locations, and vocal presentation were great. Plus the content seemed like it had a lot of thought, care, and experience behind it. Thank you for making this, it was fun and informative to watch!
-
Nice video--informative and, as I am sure you hear a lot, your voice is oddly calming and is a welcome change from so many other hosts out there that seem to use volume and manic manicness to get their points across. Thanks for taking the time to make this!
-
I think for a truck that actually gets used, a manual folding or rolling cover would be better. Feel like the electric one is more for people who use the truck bed a handful of times per year, and didn't really need a truck to begin with. The less complex something is, the harder it is to break!
-
Solid. Something that bugged me about the cameras also is if you have the tailgate down the backup camera is useless. It'd be nice to be able to switch to the "bed camera" in this case instead of the one under the bumper.
-
Hey Jerry, congrats on the truck! It looks awesome! You may have slightly overloaded with the cardboard that could have caught the cover as it was going forward or reverse causing a calibration issue. Or my next guess would be possibly some torn cardboard or misc debris got caught in the track or guides blocking a sensor. Good luck! Looking forward to hearing what the culprit was in the resolution.
-
You have such a calm reviewing voice! Thank you for the honest review!
-
This channel went from smart phones to electric vehicles and I'm not even mad 🤷🏻♂️
-
The thing that i like about your vehicle videos are your drone shots! Out of the world, zack!
-
Fair, honest statements as always. Great video and nice to see how it's holding up.
-
The door closing issue is probably caused by not enough inertia due to the mass of the door. Ford had to add ballast to the outer edge of their doors when they went to aluminum.
-
My wife calls it 'breathing' when the R1T adjusts the height at stoplights. In my three months, I have many of the same complaints at just over 4,000 miles. The doors being hard to shut is not an issue to me because I like the quiet. Thanks, Jerry.
-
Cool truck. Great update. (Though if I spent $75K on a truck, I'd be super disappointed the bed cover broke already)
-
Great insights on needed info, had one of these electric truck covers only issue was using windshield washer to de ice in the winter. Love the truck though.
-
Great vid. Love the inconvenient issues that made it to the list. 😆 I'm looking forward to what Rivian has for us in the future but I'd like to see and hear from the mechanics about maintenance issues and the "inconvenience" of EVs. 🙃
