Why the Rivian R1S gives me hope for the future of electric vehicles.

driving bc: the best day and weekend trips for overlanding

I don’t like to admit in public that I am a Overlander, because I think of the very cheesy YouTube Overlanders and the Instagram “influencers” that all drive the same vehicles and have $150,000 worth of gear to go camping.

  The drive train in this car is superb full stop. At no time in my day did I think the car was out of its element. Climbing hills, freeway driving, city driving, overtaking on a single-lane road it was capable and responsive at all times. It was also fun to drive. From the start of the day until the finish I never got tired of the instantaneous acceleration. I was completely taken in with the smoothness of the power delivery.
