In this video, I reflect on nearly three years and over 50,000 miles with my 2022 Rivian R1T Quad Motor (Generation 1) as I prepare to trade it for the new Gen 2 Tri-Motor R1T. Join me for an in-depth “exit interview” where I discuss the good, the bad, and the ugly of owning this incredible electric truck.
I cover everything from ownership highlights, such as road trips, software updates, and overall driving experience, to challenges like wear and tear, service issues, and early design flaws. I also dive into my charging experiences, including the evolution of Rivian’s charging infrastructure and the benefits of Tesla Supercharger access.
This is a candid review of what it’s like to own a first-generation R1T, complete with insights into service, interior durability, and some quirks that early adopters might recognize.
