Car and Driver R1T 30K Mile Update

[Thunderbolt Adventure]

Car and Driver recently wrote up their 30,000 update on their long term R1T test vehicle. They call out the many OTA updates Rivian has pushed to the vehicle and highlight the mods they've made. They added a Thunderbolt Adventure Supply Overland Kitchen and a Roofnest Condor Overland 2 XL rooftop tent (both available in our web store). As well as Megawatt Performance Sliders from our friends over at Electruck4x4.

Question about your gear tunnel slide. Does it lock into place? or does it just float, relying on the closed hatches to limit its travel?

Did you charge them full price?

Great question! The Gear Sled has two latches. One to keep it in place inside the gear tunnel and one to keep it in place when it is fully extended.

Can I just say I want this job? Spending your days durability testing a long term R1T and getting paid for it?

Hey @CarandDriver (fake username since they don't exist) If you'd like to get Sassquatch durability testing for the next 30K I'm available and I'm even willing to bring my own snacks.

I read the car and driver report. The thing that struck me is the writer(s) adventure is merely traveling long distances and eating chicken sandwich. Why not actually do something else in the spirit of adventure instead of this boring report......

What's wrong with eating chicken sandwich while traveling long distances? Adventuring is overrated.

Eating gas station chicken sandwiches is extremely adventurous.

Gas station sushi > adventurous > gas station chicken sandwich

You would be stupid eating gas station sandwiches when there are better options across the street.

With the Overland Kitchen, you can whip up a delicious grilled cheese sandwich in no time!
