Rivian R2/R3 Hands-On Impressions!

Steve-O's transition to Rivian CEO has been absolutely seamless. Great for him.

Good to see Steve-O doing so well in his switch to the car industry

RJ brings a very refreshing CEO energy. Just a nice, innovative respectful leader.

Can we talk about how nice it is to see a ceo out and about just chatting to people. Not to mention, knows how to speak. Dude really cares about this company.

Mad respect to this CEO for going unscripted on a tour through his product. What an awesome video.

RJ, these designs are hits right out of the ballpark. I recommend that you prioritize R3 ASAP. With the right price, that car is a winner for so many different market segments, right down to what has been abandoned by the Bolt withdrawal from the market. The "hot hatch" crowd will love it with a tri-motor chassis, while people looking for a small practical less expensive SUV will too. You are guiding your company to be one of the new "big three" auto companies of the electric era. I wish you and your company the best.

This wasnt my target vehicle, but this absolutely nails it. Once I finish school, this will be my first new vehicle purchase for myself. So many of these vehicles are massive, but a 5-seater is perfect. The packaging is excellent, and the haptic wheel controller is genius.

It's incredibly refreshing to see a CEO who is actually qualified and passionate about their product. The guy has a lifelong passion for cars and got a doctorate in mechanical engineering from MIT. You can tell both of those facts from the way he talks about his cars in this video. Incredible how passion can translate over a video. Got a customer out of me, and surely out of many others.

My Dad ran into RJ at a Whole Foods in OC a few months back. He told me that at first he just thought he was some dude with a Rivian T-Shirt on and started talking to him since we have a neighbor who works there. It turned out it was RJ who is the CEO. He made a good impression on my Dad and from this video I can see why. He seems very down to earth and passionate about Rivian!

The way the CEO doesn't talk over marcus is a great thing. HE doesn't go into some rant about how great something is. Hes just like "yeah we did this because of xyz" - great communication.

The R3X color scheme is CRAZY, I want it immediately. Hopefully the price will be revealed soon.

Can't wait until these come to Sweden, looks amazing and RJ seems like the perfect mascot / spokesperson for Rivian, unlike other CEO's around. Really hope they make it big in the EV space.

That R3X has some serious '80s rally hatch vibes. I love it.

I love this CEO. He seems really passionate about the company, knowledgeable about the tech and I really like how transparent he is about everything. Cant wait to see Rivian grow in the next few years.

This is the best R2 reveal coverage on YouTube. Super informative, loved the "why" behind the design and numbers, awesome to have RJ's comments. This is the adventure EV I've been waiting for, I reserved one after watching your video. Well done!

As usual so thoughtful in your interviews, identifying key features most people would ordinarily miss. RJ and the Rivian team will have great success with these lineup.

RJ look like a calm Steve-O. I can tell he love what he does. Good work

Those steering wheel controls look sick! And their software looks super clean. Cannot wait to see more of the R2/R3

I am so excited to start seeing these vehicles on the road! I love how Rivian kept their now iconic design language and brought in a more traditional hatchback shape for the R3!

So impressed with Rivian and their design approach. Also glad to see they are creating options for lower price points.
