I wrote a couple of days ago that Tesla produced 1,000 Cybertrucks one week last month. It’s a notable milestone, but if that was the output every week this year, that would still just be a little more than 50,000 trucks. Though, a reader pointed something out I hadn’t caught … [continued]

A right-hand drive Rivian R1T Pickup? Yes, you read that correctly. I was fortunate to get a chance to sit in one and check it out in Nairobi, Kenya. From the information I gathered, this is one of the only ones made so far and this was for a special … [continued]

But nevertheless, it is interesting too — two quiet electric vehicles competing on a dragstrip against each other, and we get to explore Rivian’s potential. YouTuber Branden … [continued]
Kenya is one of the best places to drive EVs. Kenya’s grid is very green thanks to some awesome geothermal, wind, utility scale solar, and hydropower plants. All of these clean renewables are responsible for about 90% of the electricity generated in Kenya. Kenya’s Driveelectric has shown over a year-long … [continued]
Rivian was in my neck of the woods (Baton Rouge) yesterday. My state governor, John Bel Edwards, shared a photo of himself in the new R1T along with his thoughts in a Facebook post. “This electric truck sure drives differently than my old Chevy.
