For iPhone users who are primarily capturing speech or talking to camera, go to Settings > Camera > disable the option "Record Stereo Sound" This is a big quality of life improvement for your audience. Stereo sound should really only be used if the intention is to record an ambient space. With speech, recording in mono keeps the listener's attention focused on the content, not the delivery (i.e. distracting changes in the stereo field caused by a change in the camera's position relative to the subject).

Hey Marques, I love the idea to film this whole channel on smartphones. One thing I might suggest (as a professional audio engineer and hobbyist video editor) is to turn off stereo audio recording when you’re talking, A voice being recorded by stereo microphones sounds really unnatural in a video and can make it more difficult for hard-of-hearing people to make out what you're saying. I believe there’s a setting in iOS to record audio in mono with videos. Just a little suggestion to think about for the future! Thanks for the great content!

As many of the small gripes you had, they're all really good things to nitpick. All things that Rivian can fix with software updates for sure. As for things like the tonneau cover, I chalk that up to this is generation one of the truck and along with things like the rear camera placement, things that can definitely improve on in the second generation of the truck and any other vehicle they eventually come out with. I've seen one in person at my work so far and I think the looks are fantastic. Don't think I'd have one currently even if I could afford it, but maybe in the future when they get into the swing of things with the little issues you noticed, then I can look into purchasing something of this caliber.

I've owned my Rivian R1T for just over a week and concur with a lot of Marques says here. On the tonneau cover, several people has reported that lubricating the tracks and between the slats, with WD-40 "Dry Lube" is a good way to prevent it from breaking. I've done that and thus far had no issues. The operation of the cover is also much quieter. Another thing I've noticed is that the range is better than what Rivian has reported. I've got the All Terrain tires, but in Conserve mode and the lowest height setting, I'm getting ~2.47kWh, which translates to over 333 miles of range. There are others that have reported 360miles on the 21" all season tires.

I really want to like the Rivian. It's got some really excellent features and looks sweet. But I want it scaled down by at least 15%, and they have to stop putting everything behind layers of touch interface! That's fine for navigation. You shouldn't be moving when plugging in a destination or planning a route. But aiming the vents? Or controlling the wipers?! Those should be physical, easily accessible controls. ALWAYS. Beyond the usability and driver safety issues, how much is it gonna cost when one of those vent-aiming motors fails? Dashboard work is never cheap, but adding in those electronics is just dumb and gimmicky (not to mention unnecessary weight).

I’m on the opposite side of things. I think it’s too small and I would like at least a full size to get more bed space. I hate buttons and like everything on a screen. Makes cleaning and wiping everything down super easy. Buttons just look ugly and like clutter to me now. I like that my Tesla doesn’t have an instrument cluster, makes driving at night really comfortable with no lights or glare in front of your face. Looking forward to getting rid of the stocks on the steering wheel. My last 20k miles have been about 99.9% on full self driving beta so my experience of driving and having everything behind layers of touch interface has been really good. I’m sure if I was actually driving with no assistance like a regular car I might think differently. Really wish the R1S was bigger and could be at least an 8 seat option to fit my family. Rivian does appear to be making solid cars. Looks like software needs some tweaking tho but OTA updates should fix a lot of those issues.

I think the people who buy that truck won't find themselves using the bed as often as I think typical truck users though. They may opt to have the tonoe cover always open or never even roll it back since they just throw groceries in the back or in the gear locker. It's still a cool truck and I'm glad to see it in the marketplace.

The button to "eject" the tailgate to lower nicely on gas struts is genius... the decision to omit a handle on the tailgate itself is bizarre. Usually when an EV has some weird "counterintuitive" feature, it's for aerodynamics, like Tesla's retracting door handles. Or it adds extra technical complexity and things to break but the pay-off is that it looks super cool, like Telsa's retracting door handles. Or it adds expense, technical complexity, and if it breaks your car is unusable, but it sets the car apart in the market, like the Falcon Doors on the Model X and Tesla's retracting door handles... but not having a handle for the tailgate here just seems like the lead designer won an argument and probably now wishes they hadn't. As for the reversing camera - blocking with tailgate down is surely a feature, not a bug, right? Yes yes you can think of instances where you want to back up a little with the tailgate down, but 99% of the time you throw it in R with the tailgate down, you'll be like "whoopsie! Forgot the tailgate!"

Such a gorgeous vehicle. I fell in love with Rivian when I saw Long Way Up. I knew this company was onto something when I saw these adventure vehicles in action. I love the Rivian R1S. Unfortunately, both models are way outside of anything I could ever afford, but that doesn't keep me from enjoying every Rivian I see in passing. I can't wait to see where Rivian goes from here. I have a feeling that, if they can continue to actually deliver their vehicles to everyone who pre-ordered, the company will grow, and future models will be even more amazing. It will be interesting to see how the EV SUV and Truck market develops, now that Chevy and Ford have announced their commitment to EV as their future.

Bi-directional charging needs to be a standard feature for any new EV going forward. Period. VTG (Vehicle to Grid) can do so much more than just simply provide a battery backup source for your home like the Ford Lightning advertises. I don't think Rivian can add this via an update since there is a hardware requirement, but they should consider it in future plans. I still have a Cyber reservation, and honestly, if Tesla doesn't include it I'll be looking at the Lightning instead. If you decide to go with any standard metric on your reviewing of EVs going forward, I urge you to highlight when manufactures do this right VS omit this needed feature.

@@rvboyett it all depends on how the batteries are setup to start. What kind of maintenance, monitoring, and type of cooling. Most modern EVs have some sort of liquid cooled pack, so as long as the software is setup to not discharge the pack beyond a certain percentage or rate, there would be minimal effect to the lifespan. There is an added cost to the hardware in the vehicle that's required for this setup, and the type of charger you would need for say at your home if you wanted your EV to run also as a Powerball. BUT, you have the potential of saving some money in the long run with your power needs and get added benefits of driving around a more usable power source for more than just driving.

By the way, anybody who's got a new KZread channel and you'll understand you know getting on that steady uploading schedule, learning how to edit videos and figure out what to record can always be tricky.. More importantly, you can use your cell phone to start your own KZread channel.. also for everyone who's new with their own KZread channel.

Hey MKBHD. Quick note on your terminology, double pane windows refers to when their is an air gap filled with insulating gas between the two panes. Hard to tell from the video, but it looks to me like there's a material sandwiched between the two sheets of glass. If so, then that is laminated glass (single pane). This would make sense to me, since laminated glass is excellent at sound attenuation (better than double pane glass).

Thanks for all your honest insights. I´ve always said that EV is not for everyone. And I think the government and media in general are making a mistake pushing every single person to purchase an EV. This is my take: EV is for people that are early adopters (usually are aware that new tech is not always perfect), people that do not depend on the car for long trips that are time sensitive, people that mostly take short city trips, people that can mostly charge at home (fast charging is sometimes more expensive than regular gas). EV is not for people that live in remote areas, people that are impatient, people that are tech challenged, people that don´t have a way to charge at home.

New app features came out with the most recent OTA update, so you should have window venting or other controls. Also make sure you've toggled on Away From Home with the proximity unlocking. That should tighten the radius, but if it's on that might be why it's locking so quickly when you go towards the rear of the truck.

For iPhone users who are primarily capturing speech or talking to camera, go to Settings > Camera > disable the option "Record Stereo Sound" This is a big quality of life improvement for your audience. Stereo sound should really only be used if the intention is to record an ambient space. With speech, recording in mono keeps the listener's attention focused on the content, not the delivery (i.e. distracting changes in the stereo field caused by a change in the camera's position relative to the subject).

Just goes to show how hard it is to build a brand new vehicle from scratch not to mention the machines that build the truck, supply chains, crazy amount of integrated software, regulations and obviously covid wrench that's been thrown into everything the last couple of years. Good on Rivian for persevering and delivering in such a difficult time. I may consider a Rivian or Lightning in the next couple of years but currently enjoying my F150 Powerboost hybrid .

So I finally decided late last year on my new rig, and I decided on the Rivian R1T dual with large pack. And OMG is the best vehicle I've ever experienced. The build quality is 100% plus ride is fantastic. All the software updates are value add. Pls consider going for a demo drive in one.
I'm genuinely super impressed with how well the first gen Rivians are being received. I'm super excited to see what they do next. Fingers crossed for a small car :)

Been following you on electronics for years and have never found anyone that comes close to your reviews. Absolutely love you honesty. Not once have I ever seen you upset or dramatic in any manner. Always a gentlemen, honest, professional and spot on in my opinion. OK, there is a definite huge demand for trucks and the Rivian is the electric truck benchmark in my opinion. Fortunately I don't need or want any truck.
Seems like they had some great designers and engineers on this truck. Very impressed.
Love the idea of starting a new channel using your smartphone! Can't wait to see you slowly upgrade to slightly better gear as more videos come out. Imagine MKBHD with a $10 lavaliere mic clipped to his shirt 😂

Congratulations on you new Channel. This is, by far, the best review of any automobile I have ever viewed.
As many of the small gripes you had, they're all really good things to nitpick. All things that Rivian can fix with software updates for sure. As for things like the tonneau cover, I chalk that up to this is generation one of the truck and along with things like the rear camera placement, things that can definitely improve on in the second generation of the truck and any other vehicle they eventually come out with. I've seen one in person at my work so far and I think the looks are fantastic. Don't think I'd have one currently even if I could afford it, but maybe in the future when they get into the swing of things with the little issues you noticed, then I can look into purchasing something of this caliber. Thanks for the video!
I like this low-key information dense style, however I do think using a lav mic or some other audio solution to keep your voice consistent as you move the phone around would go a long way.
I really like the rawness of this video. Especially with the truck locking multiple times. On the main channel that would have been cut, especially him struggling to open the bed cover.
Love the new channel, you do an awesome job covering tech. I'd really like to see you focus more on tech in EVs (mainly the infotainment/software) versus the whole car. That's a space that is usually just glossed over in these sort of reviews.
For a brand new company and it being their first product, I think it came out pretty well. Pretty understandable to have teething problems, and hopefully they patch in the useful things you suggested. As the Cybertruck continues to get delayed, I am giving more and more thought to the Rivian...

Not to mention the rivian actually seems to operate like an operational truck instead of a huge, ugly, killing machine
I've owned my Rivian R1T for just over a week and concur with a lot of Marques says here. On the tonneau cover, several people has reported that lubricating the tracks and between the slats, with WD-40 "Dry Lube" is a good way to prevent it from breaking. I've done that and thus far had no issues. The operation of the cover is also much quieter. Another thing I've noticed is that the range is better than what Rivian has reported. I've got the All Terrain tires, but in Conserve mode and the lowest height setting, I'm getting ~2.47kWh, which translates to over 333 miles of range. There are others that have reported 360miles on the 21" all season tires.

Same experience with my phone sliding around on the wireless charger in my supra, I found that adding one of those airtag stickers you see for pretty cheap on amazon has worked wonders. Of course not so much if you're an android user unless you add one to your case or phone, but for iphone users, it's a godsend. Before my phone would shift very far off the charger with moderate acceleration, now it's glued to it.

I really want to like the Rivian. It's got some really excellent features and looks sweet. But I want it scaled down by at least 15%, and they have to stop putting everything behind layers of touch interface! That's fine for navigation. You shouldn't be moving when plugging in a destination or planning a route. But aiming the vents? Or controlling the wipers?! Those should be physical, easily accessible controls. ALWAYS. Beyond the usability and driver safety issues, how much is it gonna cost when one of those vent-aiming motors fails? Dashboard work is never cheap, but adding in those electronics is just dumb and gimmicky (not to mention unnecessary weight).

I’m on the opposite side of things. I think it’s too small and I would like at least a full size to get more bed space. I hate buttons and like everything on a screen. Makes cleaning and wiping everything down super easy. Buttons just look ugly and like clutter to me now. I like that my Tesla doesn’t have an instrument cluster, makes driving at night really comfortable with no lights or glare in front of your face. Looking forward to getting rid of the stocks on the steering wheel. My last 20k miles have been about 99.9% on full self driving beta so my experience of driving and having everything behind layers of touch interface has been really good. I’m sure if I was actually driving with no assistance like a regular car I might think differently. Really wish the R1S was bigger and could be at least an 8 seat option to fit my family. Rivian does appear to be making solid cars. Looks like software needs some tweaking tho but OTA updates should fix a lot of those issues.

Very nice intro to Rivian R1T. The good , bad ,and the silliness of it. Good luck with the new channel.

Super excited for what this channel will bring! Great format, great content so far. Shooting the video handheld offers an entirely different atmosphere that I really like for car content, I feel much more like I'm there somehow.
The glass is working really well. Inside the truck I couldn't even tell you're near a highway. Edit: it seems for the "problems" of the truck are: 1. Actually small and you can live with! 2. Mostly fixable by software which is great! Honestly, not much to criticize about it which is amazing for a first generation product.
Great material. That's the kind of feedback I really like as a basis for "living with" a vehicle. Those are daily interactions that define the experience. The initial "touch points" designers try to accommodate. Thank you, for being so "constructive" with your criticism. I hope to develop such mannerisms in my future.
This actually looks better than the Cybertruck. I also haven't seen many red R1Ts, great choice.
This is a sweet concept for a channel. I’m happy that this is here an am excited for future videos!
Nice trunk, my Ninja! Congrats and keep up the great tech reviews... You're the BEST. One! ☝🏿🖤
Great feedback! All trucks for the most part have an issue with the rear backup camera being blocked with the tailgate down but your thought on changing to the bed camera is a good one, although may be an issue if you have stuff in your bed obstructing the view. I really like what you said about the tailgate not having a spot for your hand to close it. I think the people who buy that truck won't find themselves using the bed as often as I think typical truck users though. They may opt to have the tonoe cover always open or never even roll it back since they just throw groceries in the back or in the gear locker. It's still a cool truck and I'm glad to see it in the marketplace.
@gospelofrye6881

The button to "eject" the tailgate to lower nicely on gas struts is genius... the decision to omit a handle on the tailgate itself is bizarre. Usually when an EV has some weird "counterintuitive" feature, it's for aerodynamics, like Tesla's retracting door handles. Or it adds extra technical complexity and things to break but the pay-off is that it looks super cool, like Telsa's retracting door handles. Or it adds expense, technical complexity, and if it breaks your car is unusable, but it sets the car apart in the market, like the Falcon Doors on the Model X and Tesla's retracting door handles... but not having a handle for the tailgate here just seems like the lead designer won an argument and probably now wishes they hadn't. As for the reversing camera - blocking with tailgate down is surely a feature, not a bug, right? Yes yes you can think of instances where you want to back up a little with the tailgate down, but 99% of the time you throw it in R with the tailgate down, you'll be like "whoopsie! Forgot the tailgate!"
An underrated thing I've taken note with MKBHD is just how well he speaks, man so little cuts and just straight talking but so informative and concised as well. Something I've been working on for awhile but really props to you for getting to this point! So proud fo you!

Such a gorgeous vehicle. I fell in love with Rivian when I saw Long Way Up. I knew this company was onto something when I saw these adventure vehicles in action. I love the Rivian R1S. Unfortunately, both models are way outside of anything I could ever afford, but that doesn't keep me from enjoying every Rivian I see in passing. I can't wait to see where Rivian goes from here. I have a feeling that, if they can continue to actually deliver their vehicles to everyone who pre-ordered, the company will grow, and future models will be even more amazing. It will be interesting to see how the EV SUV and Truck market develops, now that Chevy and Ford have announced their commitment to EV as their future.

This is the type of review I really appreciate. Most reviews are from someone that has had the vehicle for 30mis and only have the spec sheet from the manufacturer to go off of. They never really give you what the car is like to live with and they miss so much about how the vehicle actually functions in the real world. Thank you.

Seeing this truck in person, I was shocked by how wide it is. Wider than most standard pickups I've seen
Rivian nailed the interior design really well. Kudos to their design team.
I appreciate your intelligent review. Well done, man.
I have had ours for 3 weeks now. Some things I would like improved - the wireless charging, the lack of specific charging levels, the locking / unlocking is annoying, when you're right to it. But their updates have improved the car, so I can't complain.
thank you Rivian for using reasonable temperature units!
Impressive first vehicle, and solid recommendations. I especially agree about switching the backup camera when the tailgate is down. They should have gotten that kind of feedback pretty fast from fleet drivers.
Those spotted lantern flys are getting bold… love the truck can’t wait to get mine.
Latest app update and Truck update really have improved a lot of the things you mentioned here, I am super excited to see what else Rivian can do with the OTA updates for the Truck and the App updates for the phones. But I'll be honest...I will be taking one of my keycards with me on my road trip at the end of the month "just in case"
Amazing that this was filmed on a phone. Just incredible how tech has advanced.
Bi-directional charging needs to be a standard feature for any new EV going forward. Period. VTG (Vehicle to Grid) can do so much more than just simply provide a battery backup source for your home like the Ford Lightning advertises. I don't think Rivian can add this via an update since there is a hardware requirement, but they should consider it in future plans. I still have a Cyber reservation, and honestly, if Tesla doesn't include it I'll be looking at the Lightning instead. If you decide to go with any standard metric on your reviewing of EVs going forward, I urge you to highlight when manufactures do this right VS omit this needed feature.

@@rvboyett it all depends on how the batteries are setup to start. What kind of maintenance, monitoring, and type of cooling. Most modern EVs have some sort of liquid cooled pack, so as long as the software is setup to not discharge the pack beyond a certain percentage or rate, there would be minimal effect to the lifespan. There is an added cost to the hardware in the vehicle that's required for this setup, and the type of charger you would need for say at your home if you wanted your EV to run also as a Powerball. BUT, you have the potential of saving some money in the long run with your power needs and get added benefits of driving around a more usable power source for more than just driving.

Great video and excited for the new channel. I am really impressed with the truck, looks, options...etc just very hesitant on the charging network option in my area. Also, not being able to use the truck to power the home (like the lighting) or larger tools is a bummer. And the entertainment system kills me, please just add android auto and carplay.
That's a badass truck for sure! I can't wait to see other manufacturers take on their electric truck lines, especially ones like the Tacoma.
Hope the manufacturer listens to your review. You make excellent points.
I love this channel! Absolutely right, I followed your other channel on my main page for years and it's always been technology and always good. I like this autofocus channel itself. I also agree that you can use your phone to make videos for KZread channels. I just started a KZread channel like 2 months ago. I'm a little bit slow with content creating cuz it's something new I'm learning. By the way, anybody who's got a new KZread channel and you'll understand you know getting on that steady uploading schedule, learning how to edit videos and figure out what to record can always be tricky.. More importantly, you can use your cell phone to start your own KZread channel.. also for everyone who's new with their own KZread channel. The hardest thing I think for any of us is feeling comfortable in front of the camera and actually recording. Anyway, I love this channel. Great idea! Love that you're using your cell phone. I think that'll help motivate people who want to start a KZread channel but don't think they can start a KZread channel.
Good initial review! Most of your concerns could be resolved with a software update. But the bed cover does appear to be an issue waiting to happen. I would like you to do a 10k review update when there will be software fixes / improvements but on the other hand possible mechanical problems. One thing you didn’t address was the small truck bed, perhaps good for AV equipment or camping gear but not so good for construction materials.
I feel like they should have different air-conditioning settings you can save as quick settings. I usually want the same 2-3 modes and having to manually adjust to the same 3 states is the biggest hassle whilst driving. Idk if any other car manufacturer does this but lmk if there is! Edit: maybe even a single button to toggle between your configurations?

Hey MKBHD. Quick note on your terminology, double pane windows refers to when their is an air gap filled with insulating gas between the two panes. Hard to tell from the video, but it looks to me like there's a material sandwiched between the two sheets of glass. If so, then that is laminated glass (single pane). This would make sense to me, since laminated glass is excellent at sound attenuation (better than double pane glass).

Thanks for all your honest insights. I´ve always said that EV is not for everyone. And I think the government and media in general are making a mistake pushing every single person to purchase an EV. This is my take: EV is for people that are early adopters (usually are aware that new tech is not always perfect), people that do not depend on the car for long trips that are time sensitive, people that mostly take short city trips, people that can mostly charge at home (fast charging is sometimes more expensive than regular gas). EV is not for people that live in remote areas, people that are impatient, people that are tech challenged, people that don´t have a way to charge at home.
New app features came out with the most recent OTA update, so you should have window venting or other controls. Also make sure you've toggled on Away From Home with the proximity unlocking. That should tighten the radius, but if it's on that might be why it's locking so quickly when you go towards the rear of the truck.
