RIVIAN ROAD TRIP TO THE FLOWER FIELDS IN CARLSBAD

EV Channels Review

This video chronicles a road trip taken in a Rivian R1T, primarily focusing on the experience of using an A2Z NACS adapter for charging. The reviewer encountered an initial issue with the adapter getting stuck on a Tesla charger, preventing them from charging their Teslas at home. Despite this, the trip proceeded, with the reviewer opting for free charging at their hotel rather than risking the adapter at public Tesla Superchargers due to having passengers. The reviewer found the Rivian R1T to be a fun truck to drive and noted its efficiency, comparing it favorably to a Model X in certain conditions. While the A2Z adapter issue was a significant point of discussion, the reviewer indicated that the company's CEO was responsive and planned to send a replacement adapter and instructions. The video also touches upon the cost of public charging versus the potential savings with a Tesla Supercharger subscription. Ultimately, the trip was successful, with the reviewer highlighting the convenience of free charging and the Rivian's comfortable range management.
