IT’S HERE!!! #rivian
@brandonkelly Have you watched "Long Way Up"? Ewan McGregor and Charley Boorman got an early release version of the Rivian to take from the tip of South America up through to the States
@cherrykoda I haven’t gotten around to it yet but want to!
@brandonkelly Gah! You gotta give a first impression/review, such a beautiful vehicle. My Bolt EV is feeling self conscious lol.
@brandonkelly Congrats! I’m a few months behind you! (R1S) 👏👏👏
@stefanhartwig nice! You’re going to love it

@brandonkelly That's handsome :)

And why does it remind me somehow of your Mini/s??

@narration_sd it definitely feels closer to a MINI than a big truck :) The 0-60 in 3 seconds may have something to do with it…
@brandonkelly yeah, I noticed that too :) Enjoy, Brandon, all wishes ✨
@brandonkelly Congratulations! No pickup fan but I like the design/ interface and what Rivian is doing as a company. That cooking part for camping is genius. Adventure time 😁
@veerlepieters I’ve never seen myself getting a truck either, but lately it has become more of a necessity for us. Don’t think I could have brought myself to actually buy any other kind though!
@brandonkelly Yes, design wise it is the best looking one. The Ford F150 and its ability to power your house is awesome and hopefully something Rivian will do as well. You’ll love your EV. Been driving a Polestar 2 for 2 years now and the silence, comfort of ‘one pedal’ driving makes an ICE car like a dinosaur 😀
@veerlepieters the Polestar 2 is awesome! I don’t think we have them in the US yet but watched a video review of it recently and was blown away
@brandonkelly okay, you’ve had it for 16 hours now. How is driving it?!
@wbrowar It should not be possible for a pickup truck to be this fun. Driving it feels like something out of a sci-fi movie, from the sounds (and lack of sounds), the futuristic air suspension, the ridiculously effortless acceleration, the all the little UI and lighting touches… just so cool.
@brandonkelly @wbrowar More importantly, did you get the fancy slide out camp kitchen?
@elivz @wbrowar hah, not sure that is worth $5K. And they’re not actually shipping yet because apparently “it sounds like there’s a dead body rolling around behind you” 😅
@brandonkelly @wbrowar lol Yeah you can buy a lot of takeout for 5k.
@brandonkelly Congrats!! We’re 4 weeks into our R1T and still over the moon swooning.
@ibwatson Love your story! It’s so much fun it should be illegal

@brandonkelly Sssssh, don’t tell the authorities! 🤫 I feel like it has as much punch as our model 3 did, it’s just bigger and badassier. Be careful though, I’ve noticed that with its higher ride it’s *very easy* to go much faster than you think you’re going…

Aside: I’d you didn’t spring for PPF when you ordered, my brother is an Xpel installer! Happy to intro if you like.

@ibwatson Getting a ceramic coating done next week :)
