2025 Rivian R1S SUV First Drive Review: A 1,000 Horsepower MONSTER SUV

Why are people keep comments about cars depreciate? If you have money buy it , life is too short.

You missed (after looking right at it) the built-in air pump. It works great, I use it all the time. And yes, you can charge at pretty much all Tesla SuperChargers. Just need a $200 adapter.

Awesome vehicle. Some nice updates for the refresh.

Awesome

Correction: The 2 motors in front for the Quad are not the same as the rear ones. More HP in the rear for a better balance.

R1S is my fav. suv and am considering purchasing a gen2 dual motor.....only thing missing is a "true" sun shade, which is a shame, but there's always glamazon.

Yes, new it is more expensive than the R1T, but the older models used are going 10k under used and new R1T trucks. So if you dont mind less refinement and know some of the first-generation issues, I think it's still worth it for like 66 - 70k at Carvana and Carmax vs the dealership. You'll also save on the repair costs if you go third party. I've heard reviewers estimate 10k for body damage repairs. They've paid 3k instead through other mechanics. Always do thorough research before making a major purchase decision.

They have an adapter for Tesla Supercharging yes?

How many cu ft of cargo space with the 3rd low folded down? Looks like a sweet ride!

Your vid’s keep getting better mofo bro!

That Incredible Performance Acceleration Made You Say 'HEE HEE".

Does Rivian give you a Tesla supercharger adapter?

Rivian is for Mandalorian.

I have a feeling starting at $125K - 135K.

Why do u say 1000hp,when this is a tri motor (850hp) 😂😂

Love most of it, but the price and lack of Apple CarPlay are deal breakers. I was all set to place an order back before the boosted prices.

Too harsh and choppy ride for family suv. Ride quality is just like contractor's f150 base trim

Paid advertisement?

I LOVE EV'S and the direction they are taking us, but being a when, "SHTF," person, do we have an idea of how resistant they are to EMP pulse charge attacks? Not saying that it will happen, but I'd be naive to think it won't ever happen. Right now, I love Hybrids since we get the best of both worlds, but even Hybrids have an electronically run system. We bought our Santa Fe Hybrid SUV and found out that everything in it is controlled by digital electronics. I don't remember if our Prius was digitally controlled, even when the gas kicked on.

I whish they would put money in efficiency instead of ridiculous performance nobody cares and needs
