Gurgeh Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 The breathless headline and intro paragraph proclaim the Rivian truck is a genuine game-changer. I can see that for lots of uses, but then to prove their point they take it on an 8-day rugged off-road excursion where they have to keep the A/C off in 100 degree temps, overinflate tires to reduce roll resistance (producing an almost unbearable ride quality) and be shadowed the whole way by a portable charging station in a semi. Again, I'm scratching my head over the specific test drive CNET chose for its review. But don't get me wrong. If you don't need your truck for heavy towing and hauling, long distance travel or -- let's just say for instance -- 8 days of rugged off-roading, this looks like a great truck that many will like (if they can afford it). https://www.cnet.com/google-amp/news/2021-rivian-r1t-electric-truck-first-drive-review/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
