I drove from the Washington DC area all the way to Cleveland Ohio to pick up my Rivian R1S Quad Motor with Large Battery Pack. This meant I was forced to road trip with my EV all the way back to Virginia right after I bought it. What you’ll see is that the EV infrastructure has made road tripping with an EV a breeze!

The R1S is gorgeous, I have a Model S and I love it but the R1S will be my next car.

Great Video, Brother. Welcome to the Rivian Family

Congrats on the new R1S! Can't wait to see more videos of your adventures!

Congrats! Got the same R1S in dual motor. Love the Forrest Green interior. I'm planning a trip to Montreal from Connecticut. I'm glad to see that you had no issues.

Congrats on your purchase too! And you’re right this Forest green interior is great!

@jaymcdonald-ji7wn Месяц назад

that interior is the best. waited weeks for one to become available in my desired spec before i just ordered black, lol. looks so good!

@ChargedUpEV-gx2ik Месяц назад

Same. Every time I would check inventory there was always black and black variants. That’s why I ended up driving up to Cleveland to pick up the configuration I wanted!

Waffle House on the road is a must! #IfYouKnowYouKnow

Just got mine a week ago, and I feel the same way love it! I don’t miss Apple CarPlay as much as I thought I would, but I found that I can’t really rely on finding stuff that’s correct from the Rivian navigation. The Apple CarPlay map isn’t perfect, but the Rivian map is behind. It needs an update.

@ChargedUpEV-gx2ik 17 дней назад

100% the built in maps need an update but that’s to be expected with any new mapping system. I remember how bad Apple Maps were when they first came out. But the rest of the interface is gorgeous!

Got ours about a month ago. Don’t think I can ever drive anything else now. The car is gorgeous, powerful, and a beauty of a ride with the right settings. Look forward to seeing where she takes ya!

@ChargedUpEV-gx2ik 22 дня назад

Agreed. I’m on a work trip now and my rental car pales in comparison. I think I miss my car!

@GoodGameOKC1 27 дней назад

Congratulations bro, I've had a R1S for about 2 months and have taken 2 road trips. Been cool so far.

@ChargedUpEV-gx2ik 27 дней назад

Yeah bro. The infrastructure has gotten to the point that it makes road tripping easy.

@ramonsalgado5276 19 дней назад

Man that’s a beautiful spec! I love the interior

@ChargedUpEV-gx2ik 19 дней назад

Thanks dude. I knew the refresh was going to happen soon after I bought mine but I’m glad I got this interior when I did!

@johna4387 Месяц назад

Congrats on the Rivian! You dodged a major bullet by getting the Rivian instead of the Hummer EV by the way, it’s the far superior option haha

@ChargedUpEV-gx2ik Месяц назад

My buddy has a Black Hummer EV. I’m hoping to have him jump in some of the videos sometimes with his!

@THE.MICHAEL.ANGELO Месяц назад

Awesome video Bro. I'm now looking into getting the R1S 2024!

@ChargedUpEV-gx2ik Месяц назад

Do your research. I had been studying this vehicle for a year but once I got to see it and test drive it I was sold. It’s an awesome vehicle!

@THE.MICHAEL.ANGELO Месяц назад

@@ChargedUpEV-gx2ik For sure!!! I was going to get the CyberTruck but it's only a 5 passenger. I was so close to getting a Yukon Denali, and although I'm not worried about the price of gas, I still refuse to pay for the ridiculous prices nowadays. There was also the Lucid Gravity, but with all the negative statements and the supposed, possibility that the company may close, the R1S came out the winner. Rivian has been out almost the same time as Lucid Motors, but Rivian is more established and has been gaining momentum and dependability. Thanks for the reply Bro!

@tradersgroove Месяц назад

That was one of my reservations when I found out it didnt have car play. Thanks for that feedback!

@ChargedUpEV-gx2ik Месяц назад

Don’t miss CarPlay at all. In fact I’m on a business trip in California this week and my rental car has car play and now I miss my Rivian’s interface. To be clear, the directions from the Apple Maps app are more accurate for routes that don’t require charging so when I want quick directions I still use the phone app.

@Mikedavisredditt Месяц назад

Appreciate the review, looking into getting a rivian r1s to have more space for the family and something electric. Seemed like charging was a breeze for you, that’s something I was curious about for road trips.

@ChargedUpEV-gx2ik Месяц назад

That’s actually one of the reasons I wanted to document a road trip. A lot of my friends thought that you have to stop and charge for hours when you have an EV. I actually only needed to charge once coming back from Rivian but I have my route planning settings set wrong.

@robp3431 23 дня назад

Gotta have a lot of patience to drive distance in an EV.

@ChargedUpEV-gx2ik 22 дня назад

If it’s done right then not really. Charging at DC fast chargers makes charging on the road quick!

@bobtaylor205 18 дней назад

The only good reason to go to Cleveland. 😳

@ChargedUpEV-gx2ik 18 дней назад

😂😂 It wasn’t bad at all. I also had one of the best chicken sandwiches I’ve ever eaten while I was there!

@marcuspalmer164 Месяц назад

Congrats on getting a Rivian! I’m thinking of getting the R1T soon. How come you had to go all the way to Cleveland when Rivian has a location in Maryland?

@ChargedUpEV-gx2ik Месяц назад

I was looking for a very specific configuration and the location in Maryland did not have it. Kinda glad I was able to road trip with it my first day so I could check that box and not have any anxiety about taking long road trips. It was a breeze to charge!
