I enjoyed the video, 25 minutes of range anxiety. I was feeling range anxiety just watching it. They were lucky there wasn't a long line of trucks with trailers also waiting to charge in the Walmart parking lot.
Could be the Rivian uses 4 motors for propulsion and 2 for regenerative braking; sufficient to ****** the truck. Might explain the low regeneration numbers. Other than towing range, it appears the Rivian is a very capable vehicle. TFL glossed over the computer's range confusion at the end, no trip meter, and the cruise control fail; teething pains for a new vehicle.
I wish they would have included charge time to bring it up to 100% at the conclusion of the test.
I see I got asterisks for using a perfectly valid word for slowing down.
