Video Summary
Key points from the electric car review include:The truck comes with an eight year, 175,000-mile battery pack and drivetrain warranty. Tires aren’t included in the warranty.
The original tires lasted about 21,000 miles. Rivian suggests tire rotations every 7,500 miles. A new set of tires cost $1,700. New street tires would have lasted longer.
Front tires handle most of the braking and driving in conserve mode, leading to more wear.
The bed cover broke within 1,000 miles. The replaced tonneau cover utilized new one-time-use bolts that waterproof the back of the tailgate. Seventeen different control modules are located around the truck, phased out in newer models to seven.
The wireless charger tries to charge a tape measure.
Electricity has saved some money, although it depends on gas prices and EV registration fees.
The interior shows no wear issues, but the exterior charge port doesn’t latch correctly. Paint chips are evident.
The reviewer does not regret purchasing the Rivian, using it as a truck for hauling.
The truck has been improved with various software updates.
