- I recently went on a road-trip in my Rivian R1S from Los Angeles to Salt Lake! I wanted to experience what it was like to go on a solo adventure and get over my range anxiety when it comes to long road-trips in an EV.

I love how there's a lot of space in the Rivian. It looks like if you sit in the backseat, a 10 hour drive will feel like 2 hours while you're all cozied up.
so much space!
A FEW THINGS:
1. I stayed WAY longer at chargers than I should have because.. well.. obvious reasons.
2. I had to use the 150kw instead of 350kw because they were occupied which obviously took longer.
3. I had to stop and pee..A LOT
4. I actually didn't mind the added time for charging, because most stops had food/shopping/other things to do. I did my best shopping while charging at all the Walmarts lol.
5. I learned a LOT, and I did the entire drive in one day on the way back which I did vlog as well.. and I cut off HOURS of time that I wasted from the first trip. :)
Point 3 haha - noticed.
Woop woop! Excited for the next road trip vlog!! Loved this video
Please be careful in Vegas 🙏🏽
I find it hard to believe that doing this on an economic diesel powered (since diesel is usually cheaper than gas ) vehicle would cost you more than the shown 141$
@@kirdot2011 Video shows what an average person would do that knows nothing about EVs would do. I could do that trip in any EV or gas cheaper, but cost wasn’t the point. EVs shine in town when you charge at home. L2 chargers at hotels are intended to be used overnight. Shouldn’t charge for so long at each stop
I love all your Rivian videos, Jenna! Keep 'em coming!
Jenna … love these kinds of videos. One thing I'd recommend is getting a ceramic clear tint for your front windshield. I got one on my car and it cuts down that hot sun heat by 65%! Makes it so much more comfortable when traveling and having the sun on your hands and lap! Cheers!
PS - EA chargers are the worst .. they just don't have their act together. The experience should change significantly once Telsa opens up their networks for all cars (but that seems to be taking forever)!
Great video Jenna! Always appreciate and enjoy your travel vlogs :D More Rivian content the better!
Love this!!!! Great content Jenna ❤
loved this vlog jenna!
Oh your travelvlogs are the best on youtube 😊👍 Thank you for taking us on a adventure 😊💕
love your rivian vlogs and trips
Fabulous trip thanks for sharing.
Love seeing you on roadtrips (and vlogging) You should do more of that!👍
Still in love with the way you spec'd your Rivian. Color, interior, wheels...chef's kiss. Glad you were inspired to take a little adventure in it and see some of the beautiful sights America has to offer!
I love road trip videos!!! I would love to see more as you do them!
Zion looks so cool, I need to visit. Thanks for sharing your adventure.
Zion is the best!
Awesome road trip Jenna!
Great job on the video Jenna! Thanks for making it.
"I don't want to be here anymore. I'm melting."
I've thought that same sentence every august since moving to Vegas.
Hell yeah Jenna i was just there last week! 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼with family! love it! The drive-through Zion beautiful!!
Such beautiful scenery there😍
Love this Rivian journeys 🙌
loved this one!
cheers from Brazil! 🤙🏻
in a sea of apple videos, this was a breath of fresh air. thank you jenna! 😊
Congrats on your first EV road trip! They are great fun and important learning experiences for new EV owners! Thanks for the video.
you just give me such happy vibes !
Rivi road-trip!!!! Zion looks beautiful!
That was the exact configuration I was considering along with the Forest green. I ultimately settled on confirming with the forest green and the 21” road wheels and max pack option. Cool video, just stumbled on your channel
Love your videos!
I love your Rivian Videos!!
Looks fun Jenna! Wish I could go!!
this is a great share.. learning a lot about owning an EV through your experience. thanks!
Thanks for sharing your experience Jenna! Picking up my RS1 today *happy dance*
Sorry to hear you had to deal with a creep at the charging station, but eye opening to hear this can happen to others. Stay safe!
Great video, love these slice-of-life EV experiences. Please continue your Rivian adventures and the scenery and stops along the way. Maybe for us non-Americans a map with points so we know where you are along the way. Still great video, thank you!! 😊
sweet. this is pretty cool thanks for sharing
Your car is soo cool!! I love the rivian
I like these types of videos with the charging of the car.. great roadtrip material
I hope that you had fun on your road trip
enjoyed the vlog
Lovely adventure
I would 100% like to see more vlogs like this
Yeah she needs to do the product placements since 2017 when TH-cam monetisation tanked.
This is raw original Jenna.. loved the vlog ..
What a fun trip!
I loved this vlog I hope you can do more and with Justine and maybe Matty too ❤ 💕💕
I absolutely love my Rivian R1S.. definitely the best vehicle I've ever owned. There is just so much space inside! Seeing your video, we definitely have put Zion National Park to our bucket list! And I think we will drive there too! Now if you can let us know where that last hike to Donut Falls is, that would be wonderful. Because that location looks like something you see in a post card!
I love your travel vlogs. 😎
Welcome to Utah! Hope you liked your stay.
Great video!
Oh, nice! A blue R1S with Ocean Coast interior. Same as mine, which I get tomorrow.
You made the right choice with that blue! Looks amazing. Keep up the awesome vlogs. Take care Jenna!😁😁
Did you go to the Apple event??
Nice video, like the way you are.
Zion is the most amazing park from my point of view.
Jenna I love your videos
Thanks for sharing your EV road-trip experience. Electrify America chargers need a definite upgrade, half the time they don’t work. Getting a non-Tesla perspective is what I needed.
your Rivian R1S looks amazing
i loved the video ❤❤
for the chargers try pairing the rivian app with third party apps that show you the current availabilty like : plugshare or chargepoint ecc
Amazing video
love videos like this, always a pleasure watching Jennas videos. top tier views. need to get myself a Rivian, will have to sell a kidney and a lung, lets get it
If you haven't already you need to install a ceramic window tint that will block the infrared heat from passing through your windows. Xpel Prime XR Plus for example will block up to 98% of IR heat from passing through the glass which makes a massive difference in your comfort while in the vehicle and in an EV allow you to save range by not having to run your AC as hard. I tinted every window on my Tesla and it's amazing.
Get your windshield tinted with a very light 70% nano ceramic tint. It will make your vehicle cooler and block the UV rays and heat off of you and your interior. 70% tint is light, almost clear. You can’t really tell it’s on the window, but makes a world of difference with the heat rejection and also cuts some glare.
We are so excited, we should get our R1S in a couple months.
Hey Jenna more Rivian videos please even if it's a trip to the corner store or something lol 😂 Stay safe x
I’ve watched your videos before, but I just now realized you are a Shailene Woodley
Doppelgänger! Great video (from someone who is kind of EV nervous)
Cool road trip
I hadn't seen this car yet, I liked it
Awesome to meet you at #BILD2023 ... now time to watch this 750+ road trip 🚙
Oh that donut falls place looked stunning
I live in CT. I think everyone on my block has a Rivan. like Rivans are so common people don't ask about them in CT...
"Hard to do with one hand" .... that's what she said🤣 come on, you set that one up right over the plate. 🦌 hahaha hey it's you again😍 Jenna in the wild, cool cool👍🤠
Looks like you missed the ice cream stop in Beaver. It makes the charging stop much more pleasant! The Creamery is in the middle of town & has great ice cream & cheese. We got ice cream & ate it during our charging session there. Charging goes quickly & we really enjoyed the Ice cream.
Great vid and great car! Unrelated, but which watch band is that?
I took my Rivian on my first long trip and I can say I won’t be doing that again. Getting to my destination was a breeze as there was a Rivian charging station at the half way point. I spent 3 days there and it was a nightmare to find charging that worked properly. Heading back wasn’t fun either. So until we get more RAN stations out there I don’t think I will be taking it on trips any time soon.
Need to get ceramic tint all around. I have an R1T with it on the roof, windshield, and all sides + rear. Even in 108 degree heat in TX it's a cool, calm oasis inside. Also, you can turn off the lane departure chime in settings!
I completely agree with the ceramic tint. We did Solar Gard ZenithIR on all windows including the roof and front windshield in our R1S. ZenithIR 45 on driver and passenger windows and ZenithIR 80 on all other glass. It makes a huge difference.
I love Rivian, If I have chance I will buy that. I had watch Justine, and now I realized Justine & U is friends :)) interesting, love this trip
More videos like this ❤
You should invest a Tesla charging adapter for your RS Tesla starting is opening all thirties charger for other Evies as well just letting you know.
So, since Justine is going to be with you on the trip back, is there going to be another travel Vlog? Also, I love the Jenna adventures. Keep them up.
Where did you take your trip too. JENN have you ever visited north dakota. Not much here but have Medora has Teddy Roosevelt National Park but winter coming. ❤ videos rock
I went to Zion when I was in high school. I really wish I could go there again 😢
I have a Prius and my range is 600 miles on hybrid mode...Range anxiety is real with electric cars....lol that's why I went with Hybrid. All the bells and whistles I have on my Prius
i think it was a fun video, Jenna
Great trip and vlog! keep up the great work, and carry a stun gun or mace on your next solo adventure.
One tip on glass cleaning inside and out: use a mix of water and dish soap in a spray bottle, a mini squeegee, and a microfiber towel. Clean swipe and no ammonia.
Hmm, My 15' Altima gets about 450-500 miles to the tank, about 60 to get full. So 120ish and fueling is easier. Compare to Rivian, its not bad. For the time/cost, I was expecting time be higher and cost be lower, so not bad results
$120 for 950 miles in your Altima. YOu are saving more than her. Electricity is not cheap and anxiety to find the next station and have an open terminal, if not, wait 1 hour per car.
The "Oh you're done" would of infuriated me! MThe only range anxiety I have in regards to electric vehicles is dealing with other people at charging stations. I don't have the patience lol
your comment about charging stop timing working well with bathroom breaks really made me laugh....my wife and I have been saying the exact same thing ever since we bought our Tesla last year. Noticed no one really says that on these road trip videos. It is so true.
You should visit Gatlinburg, Tennessee. Long way from California, but it’s beautiful!
“I need coffee” I always say that to myself 😆☕️
Based on this and other EV road trip videos the gas savings seems to be spent on hotels (and one’s time). It’s ok if the road trip intentionally includes sightseeing but I still submit that hybrid is the future, ideally where the fuel engine is a generator to the battery system (vs part of the powertrain).
Not sure whether you have a full sunroof or not but maybe there would be a way to have a tech friend or you rig up a solar panel on your roof so at least you wouldn’t, hypothetically, get totally stranded somewhere.
Fun to watch and it looks like you need tinted windows so badly!
Are the seats pretty comfortable for your entire road trip? I currently have a Y, the seats are super comfortable for long trips. Next yr i'm hoping to get a R1S.
Just thinking few driving above happy.
I loved this. Also, stranger danger. Hope you carry mace or something. Id have to call my sisters every hour if they did a trip like that solo. Strange world we live in. I am both envious and realizing i could literally never do that trip. Part of me wishes i was more adventurous, but a bigger part of me knows i am basically in a full coma after a 2 hours trip to flaggstaff 😂 Hope to get a part 2 of the road trip back home! Stay safe out there!
Need to go back to Zion soon.
NICE!
HELLO, JENNA!
I'M GOING TO SEE YOU NOW!
As much as I love fore spitting v12 and loud v8 engines. I can definitely see electric cars being a city car mainly but we definitely need tons more charging stations and making them cheaper because honestly those electric car batteries are no joke $$ wise. Hopefully the next step is making long distance electric vehicles and even air travel.
Welcome to Salt Lake; stay a while.
I was just curious if this would work. what if you had a gas generator to charge your car? Would that work?
I think I would get a hybrid. I hate waiting for anything.
Same
You don't gain nearly as much with most hybrids on the highway. They're better for city driving when it comes to fuel economy. I wish plug in hybrids took off more, but most consumers were generally confused by them. 40-60 miles on electric is great for most people...then for longer trips it's a normal hybrid.
Toyota
I really hope charging advances, having to charge for an hour is not safe for that exact reason but over night charging being slow is fine if at home or at a hotel
There is a Rivian charger just off 15 by the strip, although it may not have been open when you filmed this.
Ahhh! A whole video on Rivi! Did it feel pretty stable in the rain/storm? Also, I think donuts would certainly motivate more people to go hiking 🤣
Yeah super stable!!!
Nothing I want more than a Rivian 😭
