First Rivian R1S Reviews: A Great Vehicle For Family Road Trips
Tech vloggers drove an R1S from LA to Yosemite with their parents and were amazed by the electric SUV's practicality and versatility.
As the first wave of Rivian R1S customer deliveries is expected this summer, video reviews of the much anticipated electric SUV have started to surface online.
These videos come courtesy of two popular tech vloggers, iJustine and Jenna Ezarik, who happen to be sisters. They were among the first people in the world to drive the R1S, obviously excluding some Rivian employees who already got their R1S vehicles delivered.
The Ezarik sisters reviewed the same vehicle, a Launch Edition R1S painted El Cap Granite featuring the quad-motor powertrain and Large battery pack. The SUV also came with the seven-seat layout.
Speaking of the seating arrangement, the practicality of the R1S is probably what impressed these reviewers the most. They took their parents from Los Angeles on a trip to Yosemite National Park in the Rivian, taking full advantage of the vehicle's massive cargo area when the third-row seats are folded. They also discovered that when you need the third row, there's plenty of space there for adult passengers; more than expected, actually.
