Rivian R2 Delivery Day: Our Very Unofficial Inspection (8K)

Rivian R2 delivery day, complete with a very unofficial inspection. We pick up our 2027 R2 in Blauvelt, New York, admire the Catalina Cove paint and Coastal Cloud interior, and try to look like we know what we're checking. There's a tailgate button to find, panel gaps to inspect, and some very serious "performative seal checking." We're also already negotiating who gets the Rivian and who gets the Tesla. Filmed in 8K.
