The Rivian R1S is an impressive electric SUV meant for adventures

) with its R1T pickup, and its R1S electric SUV is no different. The slightly smaller vehicle continues the automotive startup’s trend of building no-compromise electric vehicles meant for outdoor adventure.

Living the life of an extreme camper, kayaker or cyclist doesn't come cheap: The R1S has a bank-busting price tag starting at $78,000. It might not be the most efficient EV on the market, but it has a healthy range of up to 316 miles, which should be enough to satisfy those looking to go outdoors with a vehicle that’s solidly built. The R1S also now ships with a new Camp Mode feature that levels the cabin so overnight stays can be a bit more comfortable.

Designing a desirable EV is not something Rivian has struggled with to date, though: its real issue is mass-producing cars to keep up with orders. Watch the video below for the full story.You can disable notifications at any time in your settings menu.

I’ve seen them all over here. Just fix the frontend design (headlights) and I’m in. Rivian

Are those headlights for real? Hahahahahaha

I like when they picture electric cars in the middle of nowhere, when we all know charging would be impossible. There have been plenty of trips that a sketchy middle of nowhere gas pump saved our exploring butts lol. Electric would have never made it there.

The biggest adventure seems to be finding decent chargers on your adventure.
