For those that care, according to a recent YouTube video TFL Truck is getting an R1T later this month.
To test. They have to give it back. But best of luck on your new channel.Thats it. Last straw... I'm starting a YT Channel ASAP
Oh I know... And don't hold your breath for my show stopping YT channel with associated Forums. There seem to be plenty of those!!!To test. They have to give it back. But best of luck on your new channel.
Sadly, they are very adept at creating enough clickbait style content that they have amassed a following that enough vehicle manufacturers have taken notice. I guess Rivian just joined the group. Sad.I'm mildly annoyed. Those babies should be blacklisted for the whine-fest they held.
I agree somewhat. Yes, TFL definitely came off entitled in their constant complaining but I do feel like Rivian did intentionally slight them on multiple occasions.I'm mildly annoyed. Those babies should be blacklisted for the whine-fest they held.
Not a fan of TFL, only when they're first to report on something but that quickly dies off as others catch up. I hope guys like Sandy Munro, Engineering Explained and some other more techy and knowledgeable guys get a R1T to test. Plus, both seem to like Rivian.I'm mildly annoyed. Those babies should be blacklisted for the whine-fest they held.
x2I'm so done with all the identical reviews from all the self-proclaimed journalists. I am much more interested in the real-world stuff that is just about to be released by early non-Rivian employees.
Well the Maverick was also available to real buyers. The R1T will likely be truck of the year for 2022.Since TFL hadn't received an R1T from Rivian yet, they completed their 'Truck of the Year' process and excluding it and several other trucks. They determined the 2022 Ford Maverick to be their 'Truck of the Year'.
The Maverick is a solid vehicle. At $20K and 42 city/33 hwy/37 combined mileage for the Hybrid is a CRAZY good deal IMO. It has now moved to the top 3 purchase options for my new vehicle this year. Mostly waiting on official safety ratings before pulling the trigger. I really wanted an EV but this Hybrid might be close enough for 2022.Well the Maverick was also available to real buyers.

LOL!!!! They've been such babies about not getting one of these!!! They also are super incompetent about understanding how electric vehicles actually work. I used to like their channel, but once they started spreading misinformation, adding to range anxiety issues, and just plain not doing their research, they lost me as a viewer...For those that care, according to a recent YouTube video TFL Truck is getting an R1T later this month.
I hear you! They're in an excellent location for towing and off-road testing. They just need to only let Andre and/or Tommy on camera. Roman, Nathan and that Truck [email protected] guy with the hat need to stay as far away from the camera and a microphone as possible. And stop focusing on clickbait content and start focusing on a segment leader when it comes to online automotive journalism.LOL!!!! They've been such babies about not getting one of these!!!

I watch many videos they post, especially the EV ones. Can you elaborate on the misinformation they have provided to viewers? Not a fanboy just looking for good sources for EV reviews.LOL!!!!

Most if not all YT reviews use Clickbait but I agree several reviewers on the team are not very camera friendly and are hard to watch.I hear you!

I agree with RITVT. I've seen enough reviews now and they are mostly the same. The only comments on most are nit picky. I'm now just checking the web for updates on production.I'm so done with all the identical reviews from all the self-proclaimed journalists. I am much more interested in the real-world stuff that is just about to be released by early non-Rivian employees.
I'm just sick of most of them just copying exactly what the other guy said. The first guy complains about a single particular vehicle component then you just watch them all regurgitate the same complaint. Or they focus way more on the badging, colours and infotainment system than anything else. Most of them spend more time walking around or sitting in the vehicle than even driving it, even when they have an opportunity to drive it as long as they'd like. Almost all of them quote some specs incorrectly. I'm sick of these self professed, unresearched, unprofessional YouTube journalists. Don't get me started on the YouTube channels that just pirate someone else's video content and add a computer generated voiceover. WTF? I guess I'm just old and new to these shenanigans.Most if not all YT reviews use Clickbait but I agree several reviewers on the team are not very camera friendly and are hard to watch.
Overall it's still hard to get an honest review of any vehicle online in any format.
