Rivian gave us a loaner R1T for four days last week to drive around and enjoy. We took it from the Brooklyn delivery center through New York City, into the Adirondacks, and back through the mud, suburbs, and traffic.

For background, we’re already gushing over the R1T from our first drive of it, naming it Electrek’s vehicle of the year 2021, but now we’ve gotten some alone time with it and have seen some of the software updates that have moved into production vehicles – and we’ve got a whole new appreciation.

One of the first things many people convert from gas to electric in their yard care arsenal is the leaf blower. I’ve known many who have gas-powered everything, but with a plug-in leaf blower. If it’s time for you to finally make the switch, or just replace an aging unit, is a great choice. It’s coded, so there’s no battery to charge or change, and since it’s electric, you won’t have to deal with gas or oil. Plus, it’s just $45 right now for Prime members at Amazon. We also have a wide selection of Tesla, Greenworks, and other e-bike discounts in today’s New Green Deals, so you won’t want to miss that either.
