In 2021, we began our EV journey with a Tesla Model Y. Now, our family has fully transitioned to electric vehicles, with the Rivian R1T replacing the Model Y, aligning with our evolving needs and adventures.

This past Labor day weekend, we embarked on our first family road trip in our new Rivian R1T, covering the Houston to San Antonio route down I-10—a journey I didn’t think would be possible in a non-Tesla EV just yet. The good news? The trip was a breeze (well, mostly).
