It finally happened. I got a truck. I’ve been wanting a truck for a very long time. I could have bought one a while ago but my work commute made it an impractical purchase. But electric vehicles made owning large vehicles affordable and practical for our use case.

I’ve been eyeing the Rivian R1T but many reasons prevented me from getting one. But now, things have lined up and I finally have a truck. Not only a truck, but an electric truck. This will be. a start of new activities and videos. Videos where I can compare Tesla and Rivian ownership.

In this video, I share what deals I was able to get and what the payments look like. Would you get an electric truck? Would you get a Rivian? So far it has been an interesting experience.
