This video offers an in-depth look at Branden Flasch's Rivian R1T, focusing on his personal EV journey and the truck's capabilities. Branden, who took delivery in September 2022 and has already accumulated over 11,000 miles, highlights the Adventure trim with 20-inch all-terrain tires and the Ocean Coast interior. He praises the truck's overall performance and family appeal, noting that his family enjoyed it immensely. A key point of discussion is the tonneau cover, which Branden reports works without issue despite some initial concerns about its noises. The conversation also touches upon Branden's extensive history with various EVs, including Teslas, the VW ID.4, and a Polestar, often involving opportunistic buying and selling driven by market conditions and tax credits. His current role leading technical aspects for EV charging infrastructure at Circle K in North America is also explored, emphasizing the challenges of bureaucracy and the importance of reliability and customer expectation in charger deployment.
