Rivian R1T Colorado Exploration Using The Rivian Adventure Network 

I put a trackimo GPS on my drones. It’s a super small GPS that any drone can carry. I have brackets for each one, so the same trackimo is used for whatever drone I fly. In the event the drone crashes or malfunctions, you can easily find the drone.

DJI drones have a function where the last location (usually the crash location) is recorded in the app and will allow you to rather easily find your drone back in such a field. Getting access to the field seems like the bigger issue there. Not the drone not having a battery....

Really liked this vloggy type of video. Different angles and different views. And just showed a realistic trip!

Great work Jordan, you really make the videos interesting and fun. Exactly what I originally subscribed for two years ago :) Keep it up guys

Great job with the video, Jordan! I have a you edited it too. Thanks for taking us along for the ride! Sorry about your drone.

Wow, that area is so gorgeous. I'm about to quit my job and just start squatting out there. Amazing!

Love seeing practical videos of the Rivian showing what it can do for off grid road trips!!!! I am excited for my rivian to come in. Will be so long from now though.

Slick video! Cool drone shot while loading up with everything ajar. Also, one of the smoothest in-video ads I’ve seen. Keeps is gonna keep you along!

Resident of canon city here, literally saw you on hwy 50 the other day lol. Had to watch the video

“I don’t see any other EV’s” and @50:56 in the video a Light Blue Volt 1st GEN pulls up in the camera shot 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Great Video.

That bear just wanted a hug. Fun trip. That Rivian charger was pretty cool (and you can never beat free). EV infrastructure still has a looooong ways to go as more and more EVs get sold.

Such a great video Jordan, nice mix of tech & adventure. Also loved the AVA t-shirt !

Funny this video showed up today! I actually did the drive out 285 past Buena Vista to hike Mt Antero this morning, and it’s like watching that trip on repeat! Great to see the Rivian out and about, I’m quite jealous of the thing!

The more I see the Forest Edge interior, the more I'm glad I waited to get it instead of Black Mountain... (My truck is on its way to me from the factory right now.)

Loved the content I enjoyed it a lot , more road trips from you with r1t

You are doing awesome with your videos!

that AD was next level Jordan.

I love how you can see it doing the auto level dance while youre loading it up

Where I am in Scotland not only do we have free charging on 50kW chargers but also no parking fees if charging (it’s patrolled too so no using a charge place but not pugging in and no icing either!) and at 3 of the charge hubs in the Park and Ride carparks we get a free shuttle bus into the city centre…………. Just wondering how long it will last with energy prices skyrocketing though. Not worried about the charging speed as I have a Mini Cooper S E with a 29kW battery.

Great video!

We drove that road along the Arkansas River last year - it is spectacular.

Waiting for the r1s review. The dogs need it!

The R1S is tempting if not for the price. Ideally I wish it were maybe 10% smaller as well for more easy navigating in some city areas. I also have serious concerns on reliability of Rivian given the issues people are already having even at low miles.

Awesome,thank you

Love the AVA shirt 🤘🏼

Interesting start to the trip. Especially for truck buyers, most of them would have charging at home and would therefore leave at 100% battery. I can't think of many people who own full size trucks but have an apartment with no dedicated parking spot. However, I understand you didn't charge probably to make the start of the trip more challenging.

R1T looks great in white

Nice that it can charge at 100kw. Love the truck. Looks great and seems capable.

I believe you need a TT 30 plug for the RV connections

Something happened with the overnight charge at 120v. Theoretically speaking 2kw * 12 hours would be roughly 24 kwh delivered to the truck or roughly 17% battery charge. Seems like when you showed us the range in the morning the truck was no longer charging, must have cut out a little after you showed us you were charging at 120v.

I know now what car I am likely to buy next time I happen to have an extra $80K in my back pocket. Rivian forever!

I have a black Rivian with the Forrest green interior and 180kw battery on order. With the black color would you prefer the ocean coast interior and I know this is a personal choice. I live in bfe Tennessee, beautiful,; but I don’t have access to close places where you can actually look at the trucks in person.

Hey Jordan. Loved your video. Can you let me know the brand of bag you had in the frunk? I like it 👍

When you get the AT tires, give Red Canyon Park a go, it can't be far from your brother's house. Dirt roads and then some Jeep trails the Rivian will have no problem with. And it's Skyline Drive, for the record 😎

Plugshare says a Charge Point fast charger is being built in Canyon City.

Doesn't your family's house have a dryer plug that you can use? When taking such a long trip, you should stop by home Depot and buy a bunch of wall plugs and extra breakers so that you can retrofit plugs that you have control over, such as that RV plug which you could have switched over to something that is more compatible like a 14/50. I'm also wondering if the rivian charging station did not show up on your rivian map because it was offline from the painting.

30amp/125v printed on the plug. As advocates of EV vehicles it would be great to see you plan ahead. Scout the in-laws for answer. Pack the correct adapters to be the electrolyte out of the wall.

I really really hope Rivian will be successful.

Stick an Apple AirTag on the drone ;) I have one on mine, works great.

The DJI drones have an option in the app called find my drone that will show the last known location on a map,

Entertaining and informative video. I'll agree with you, don't like Rivian turn signal, but my e-tron GT turn signal is equally annoying and LOUD.

The RV outlet is a TT-30. It’s is a 120 volt 30 amp outlet. You’d need to buy an EV Specific adapter and then use the 14-50 adapter and lower the current to 24 amps. The RV adapters won’t work. It’ll charge twice as fast as a normal household outlet giving you 2.8 kW.

I've been living electric vehicle only since 2018 my town does not have a fast charger either closest one is 63 MI

That coffee shop is not right around the corner. It's almost a road trip to get there. lol

Nice 👍🏻

There is storage in the front of the front seats. Like a glove box. I bet you haven’t even noticed it yet lol

Didn't one of the other cars you guys (Out of Spec) tested do the same thing - dropping the charge rate down and then it kicked back up? I can't remember which vehicle it was.

If you liked Skyline Dr. you would like Utah hwy 12 between Escalante and Boulder :-)

There needs to be an actual phone number or app that you can report charging issues to the charger provider and the vehicle manufacturer. Maybe feedback option in the app needs to be added or a rating button in the vehicle that pops up when the charge is completed.

There is a new charge point fast dc charger installed just off us 50 between 3rd and fourth street.

Just making sure you know there's storage underneath the two front seats!

I drive 285 to Fairplay all the time with my Model Y and I can tell you that autopilot is too dangerous to use on this route anyhow. It’s too twisty and sometimes the lane markers are hard for the car to read. You aren’t missing anything.

This is a cost of charging that is never put into the calculation vs gas: "How much do you spend on things you buy because you are waiting that you wouldn't just ripping through a gas station??" :) Only partially joking as every test I've seen involves the people buying food, coffee or something while they wait, something I rarely do when stopping for gas.

Someone tell him there’s two glove boxes, they’re under the front two seats 😊👀

4:59 I was lucky enough to drive an R1T at a local EV drive event, and oof. Yes. The turn signal sound is not good. Worse in person than in the video.

Agree with the turn signal sound It sounds like some one tapping their fingers on plastic

I like your style more.

You need EA Pass+

That RV plug was a TT-30 30A 120V outlet

2USD,, 90kW. 🥰 Cheers,, 🍻😎👍‍‍👍‍‍

All the goodness, without the arrogance 🎉

You forgot to log the efficiency for the trip.

Tell me you’re from the Midwest without telling me you’re from the Midwest… cornhole boards on a road trip 😂

The turn signal sounds like water dripping . . .

Clean the windshield...

With those thick charging cables, I think it would be a great idea to put multiple charging ports on the car. One at each corner would be great, but even just 2 (both front corners) would be good. Not to connect multiple chargers at once, just so it won’t matter which side you have next to the charger.

Put an airtag on your drone

Glue an AirTag to the drone.

Turn off "Fast Wireless Charging" and your phone will not overheat anymore. Easy fix.

Wouldn't it be nice if the new EV bill addressed charging? Instead of putting money into the automaker's pockets?

Tape an AirTag on the drone next time.

Jordan here is a tip for Kyle and you when you are charging plan we’re you can get food near your wal mart before you get there. That you don’t complain that there is no place to eat at the Walmart when there should be something around on your way there to take to the charger. Also if you have a iPhone and are signed up with Ea for the pass plus membership you can just go to apple wallet pick your ea card and tap on the rfid symbol not credit card reader. It will start. Kyle tells people to swipe on the app and you don’t need to do that or look for the number at the top. Just plug in and use the Ea pass in wallet and tap I do it all the time and it works. Allysa mom could do it too. If you make videos it is good to show better ways to do things and not complain about Ea like you and amod did in your drive to texas. You are with Kyle enough to learn how to do it before the trip. Amad was new so I will cut him slack. A lot of people watch your videos and take what you guys say about charging as gospel when it isn’t always true . Kyle is so fixated about the kw and most people are not going to be as long as it works.

noice

Truck looks almost limestone in the side loading up shot.

Just let a lipo battery to rot and maybe even catch fire in someone's field 👍

Free, I don't know how that is profitable at all.

These kinds of videos are necessary to show us just how impractical the current EV is. Hopefully as time goes on this will change.

Even Rico Colorado has a level two charger! Lake City Colorado has a DC fast Charger! Come on Canon City this is pretty lame.

Keep it classy, EA. lol So awful. Even today, the Supercharger network is the best.

I hate that you guys use plastic water bottles. Get some nice insulated bottles, you can also keep some jugs in the car.

The Rivian Adventure Network doesn’t make any sense. They don’t have the vehicles on the road to support a walled garden. They aren’t Tesla. It’s great that they want to add DCFC but they need to be open to all CCS vehicle. These walled gardens is part of what is preventing mass EV adoption. For non early adopters charging needs to be so much simpler. We need one plug and all stations open to all vehicles. Hopefully with the Infrastructure money Tesla follows through and opens the Superchargers. Since Rivian just copies everything Tesla does they’ll open the RAN to follow suit.

butchering two Spanish named places, the good old American way!

We need Kyle to film every video it’s so much better

First

Seriously, does anyone in the US under the age of 50 realise that "food courts" and take-away counters aren't actually "restaurants"? Has anyone on this channel actually been to a decent restaurant? As opposed to a take away joint in a food court? I see this fetishism for rubbish food on several channels, not least Bjorn whatisname.... My theory is that as an EV needs time to charge, you have to eat whatever take away rubbish is nearby. If you had a gas car, you can plan a short trip and a nice meal in an actual restaurant, as you're not in the least tied to a charger.

Dude - don’t be afraid to ask about charging your Rivian! Don’t let a STUPID art installation block the main purpose of the station. I see you did ask - good on you!!!

Jordan crashes a brand new 140K Tesla Model S by hot-rodding around a corner in track mode and now he loses a drone. A high-cost employee.
