Tesla Owner Checks Out Munro's Rivian R1T: First Drive & Impressions

While there still aren't a whole lot of Tesla owners in Michigan, we see more and more every day. One such owner goes by the name of Dirty Tesla on social media, and his primary focus of late has been Full Self-Driving Beta testing. However, he recently had a unique opportunity to drive the Rivian R1T electric truck for the first time, and that opportunity was provided by none other than Michigan-based industry expert Sandy Munro.

As you may already be aware, Munro and his wife decided to keep the Rivian R1T they ordered for dissection. Munro & Associates were considering tearing down the R1T, much like they have with many other vehicles. However, Munro – and more importantly, his wife Sue – fell in love with the premium and off-road-ready R1T electric pickup truck, and they couldn't bear to tear it apart. The couple sold their Jeep Wrangler 4xe plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV), and now they're proud owners of the Rivian.

Little did we know this situation would also work out to Dirty Tesla's advantage. He headed to Munro & Associates' place of business to check out the R1T and enjoy some time behind the wheel.
