Brumpost’s Take

The thing about Global warming and the need for eco-friendly cars is becoming a big phenomenon in the automobile industry and Rivian is here to innovate. The car allows you to travel miles without a single emission. And the ability to be able to store your accessories in a well suited environment makes the vehicle a really great innovation.

Considering the fact that most electric vehicles usually have their battery setup right on the floor of the vehicle, this places more real estates to keep things and turn the R1T into an RV. Although it’s quite pricey, but considering how far this can be useful to our society and the owner, it’s worth the investment.
