OPTIMA Rivian - SEMA 2023

[wayoflife]

I knew to expect at least one EV off roader and came across this Rivian today that Optima Batteries brought out to the show. Clearly, it has a few modifications including bigger tires, something of a rock slider and a roof top tent. But otherwise, it looked pretty simple and maybe, a sign of things to come.

Kinda strange that an EV would be supported by a battery company that makes batteries for internal combustion engines

 

[jeeeep]

that's a stupid looking front end, I hope someone kicked the designer in the balls ....

guess you could always drive it backwards.

Exactly what I was thinking. Just what is Optima running on that thing?

 

[Mike Pierson]

It’s the perfect rig to take you and your family 15 miles to your local KOA.

 

[TrailHunter]

Thats too much crap to charge.

 

[OverlanderJK]

These things are terrible in the real world. Especially towing.

Nice trailer

 

[Ddays]

Bet that rooftop junk helps a bunch with the mileage

Most electric vehicles also have a traditional battery to run the normal 12v electronics. That would explain Optima's dedication.

 

[Brute]

Need to spend three days plugging in the car, electric motorcycles and electric bikes…

 

[AZVAJKU]

In reference to EV’s…

The local KOA probably wont want you recharging your car at the campsite hookup either

Okay, I understand we are going to have to put up with EV's.

But do they HAVE to be so damned ugly and look like something Skynet created to kill humans?

 

[wayoflife]

BTW, any of you ever wonder why EV's like this Rivian does NOT have a winch??

 

[jeeeep]

wonder if in the trailer is a diesel generator to charge everything.

Nope.

 

[Bullwinckle]

Yea it’s a big NO for me.

Because if that turd gets stuck you're going to walk away and report it stolen?
