The Rebelle Rally is no match for the all-electric Rivian R1T pickup truck
|
One vehicle I’m most excited to experience someday is the Rivian R1T (and the R1S SUV). This electric upstart is making big promises about the capability of its machines. It’s also not going out and making ridiculous displays, outlandish remarks, manipulating stocks, and generally doing anything it can to turn you off from its wares.…

|
As electric cars make their way into everyday life, it’s no surprise that electric trucks are the next frontier.
