Here is a summary of the YouTube video review:

The Rivian R1T Gen 2 electric truck has improvements over the Gen 1 model, including exterior, interior, technology, and hardware/software enhancements. The Gen 2 features a Tri-Motor version, offering a Storm Blue color option.

The Enhanced Highway Assist is an advanced feature in Gen 2 models that utilizes a rear-view mirror camera and machine learning to detect the driver's gaze. It enables hands-free driving on the highway, alerting the driver to keep their eyes on the road.

The review highlights the new software update for Gen 2, including the "Go Chime" feature that alerts the driver when a stopped vehicle ahead moves. The latest software update also provides a new Rally Mode. Owners of Dual Motor vehicles can pay $5,000 for a performance upgrade via software.

Software upgrades: All terrain mode; rock crawling; soft sand, rally, and drift modes are available. Also, enhanced driver safety has been incorporated, such as the tire puncture detection.

Exterior improvements feature a more advanced lighting system with improved high beams and low beams. The light bar shows the state of charge. Also, turn signals have been separated from the front lights. Some added design features include a more subtle trunk cover and a slightly recessed area where your car is tapped for entry.

Interior upgrades include premium features.

The Gen 2 suspension and new parts made for an overall quieter and smoother ride experience. Overall, the reviewer thinks the upgraded technology and features are “a game changer.”
