I sent this video to all of my nearest and dearest friends. I want them on the Rivian trail too.

I generally want to avoid having stuff - what I own and use - define and constrain me, but Rivian is pushing all my buttons. Now if I could make my mind - R1T or R1S. It doesn't help that all of the cool videos show the R1T. Fair advertising ought to give them equal time.

Exactly what I was thinking!

Wonder what kind of charging set up it was (charging capacity etc.)?

That really looks promising.

Can't wait to see it!

Setting up the charging network on the South and Central American trip will be good experience for setting up the Rivian Adventure Network in N. America. You gotta love this company.

I noticed that too. Also, where was the frunk? There’s a shot of the guys doing work under the hood - where the frunk should be.
