FLATOUT SUSPENSION REVIEWS BLUETOOTH

Typically, I prefer “hard” buttons but such is the way of the world these days in cars. More practically, the interior is a very open and low-clutter space like a Tesla, the 16-inch main display is your go-to for pretty much everything.

There’s even a removable Bluetooth Meridian speaker! The Rivian’s interior is like a cross between MEC and Matt and Nat there’s vegan leather everywhere (the company’s CEO, RJ Scaringe, is a vegan), bronzed buckles on the doors, and the front seatbacks look like they’re made from a repurposed MSR stove. It didn’t take me long to get used to when to release the accelerator to come to a complete stop and there were times when I had to remind myself after stopping that I had never actually hit the brake to do so. Now, I’ve driven many one-pedal drive modes before, and I can’t recall the last time it felt this natural. Or, if you’d rather just charge as you drive, you can do so with two levels of brake regen this can never be fully shut off and as a result, the R1T is in one-pedal drive mode all the time. There’s 465-525 km of range depending on spec and it can be fast charged at up to 200 kW. It comes with four electric motors – one per wheel – that produce a combined 831 horsepower and 908 pound-feet of torque. The Rivian is here, however, and it looks great. What with the intervention – then non-intervention – of Ford, the styling, then the fact that seemingly out of nowhere it arrived, beating Tesla’s Cybertruck to market. The Rivian R1T’s gestation was a somewhat nebulous affair.
