Rivian donates two R1S to Laguna Beach Marine Safety Fleet

[Administrator]

We donated two R1S SUVs to Laguna Beach’s Marine Safety fleet! Our all-electric vehicles are built to tackle sand and surf, making them ideal for beach patrols and emergency response.

We, along with Mayor Sue Kempf, are excited about this partnership, underscoring Laguna’s commitment to environmental stewardship and public safety. From routine patrols to rapid-response scenarios, these vehicles will help keep laguna’s coastline safe while treading lightly on the environment.

We are proud to support Laguna Beach in setting an example for cities nationwide—one electric mile at a time.

Best beach diving in California in Laguna. It's a preserve and packed with life.

I remember getting a hotspot setup on Laguna beach and doing work to a sunset at Laguna beach when I used to work for Rivian. Rivian bought and renovated the local theater right across from the lifeguard tower. Also had a fun time the the camp speaker that I also brought to that beach where I got a Congo line dance going with people dancing to the song Peace Train. That beach has Rivian roots that Rivian is not even aware of.

They will be great as long as they stay out of the salt water & they keep the younger lifeguards hands off of them! I can see them being a blast racing down the empty beaches…..

Salt is everywhere on an ocean beach. Many U.S. cities and states (including our own) salt roadways and highways. Is it only immersion in salt water that damages EVs including Rivians? Or is salt spray also dangerous?
