Last month, I spent a day hitting the trails in New Hampshire with the guys from Main Line Overland and they made this little video…

Nice video. Would love to see the price tag including all the aftermarket work done on each of the vehicles in the video. Even with the new pricing, the Rivian you get off the production line is probably very price competitive and none of the other ones could even come close to touching its capabilities as a daily driver.

What was your battery consumption on the trip? I watched 90% of the video but didn't catch that.

7 hours on trail, under 30% battery use

I think that’s right. I’m into both of my land cruisers for more than my Rivian, and they’re better at certain aspects on the trail, but they’re dedicated trail vehicles and suck around town. The Rivian is 90% perfect at everything

I loved the belly flops coming off some boulders into the creek! Thanks for sharing.

That is RAD. Hard to argue $4 dollars of home electric for a day of wheeling.
Yep, not too bad at all! I charged to 100% at my hotel the night before, drove 40 miles to the start, wheeled for 7 hours, and drove ~150 miles home without stopping to charge.
