We’re talking all things Rivian this week—specifically, how the company is gearing up for the future with advancements in autonomy, artificial intelligence, and smarter vehicle systems. Will hands-off driving become the new normal? Can Rivian pull it off? Let’s get into it.

After a week of anticipation, we finally picked up our brand-new Rivian R1S — and yes, the Tri-Motor configuration is every bit as exciting as we hoped. But it wasn’t all smooth sailing… literally.

In this episode, we take you through our full delivery day experience: First impressions of the Tri-Motor R1S, What stood out right away (in a good way), And the unexpected issue we noticed within minutes of driving off

Was it a one-off hiccup or a deeper problem with Rivian’s new suspension setup? Tune in as we break it all down and share what happened next.

Welcome to the very first episode of Bed Talk with Mike Kantorski Tech– where the coffee's hot, the dog’s snoring, and the conversations happen from the back of our Rivian.

In this episode, we’re sharing our full electric vehicle journey — from our first EV experience to the test drive that convinced us to place an order for the new Tri-Motor R1S. We talk about what made us fall in love with EVs, the pros and cons of past vehicles (including our Tesla), and why the Gen 2 Tri-Motor R1S finally checked all the boxes.

We also break down our thoughts from the test drive, how it compares to our current R1T, and what we’re most excited about as we wait for delivery.

Whether you're already part of the Rivian community or just curious about what makes this vehicle so special, we’re glad you’re here.
