This is our first road trip with the Rivian R1T. I’m very excited and a little nervous accessing non-Tesla charging stations. It should be okay with the Rivian Adventure Network but it will be interesting to see how I feel about this. I’m also curious about price difference, reliability, what things to do at the charging location, charging speed and more.

Abby and I spent a night in Las Vegas just to document what it’s like to road trip in the Rivian. I know you will have questions, so please ask them below. What do you think about the trip data at the end where I compare it to the Model X Plaid?
