Rivian has launched a more in-depth have a look at its insanely engineered $6,000 camp kitchen that matches inside its R1T electrical pickup truck.
The electrical car startup has been positioning its upcoming electrical pickup truck, the R1T, as an “journey car,” and so they have been engaged on a ton of equipment for it with the intention to make these adventures extra satisfying.
The accent that has been most fascinating for individuals is the complete camp kitchen that Rivian managed to suit inside its novel space for storing that sits between the mattress and the cabin, which they name “Gear Tunnel.”
At $6,750, it’s not low-cost, however it’s superbly engineered and it comes with the “Gear Tunnel Shuttle,” which is beneficial for different issues in addition to the kitchen – thought that’s apparently just for “a restricted time.”
Rivian describes the package deal:
The Camp Kitchen x Snow Peak package deal combines three equipment: The Camp Kitchen, Rivian Gear Tunnel Shuttle and Snow Peak Kitchen Set. All the system effortlessly slides out of the R1T Gear Tunnel so you possibly can get pleasure from dinner with a view — and when not in use, the Camp Kitchen’s modular design makes it straightforward to take away, supplying you with full entry to the Gear Tunnel. The Gear Tunnel Shuttle and Snow Peak Kitchen Set are included with the Camp Kitchen for a restricted time.
The kitchen system consists of two modules, a 1,440-watt, two-burner induction cooktop and a sink module, which has a 4-gallon capability.
The Snow Peak Kitchen Set is a 30-piece high-quality kitchen set that is available in a drawer particularly designed to suit the the cookware with out rattling when the truck is in movement.
That’s all cool, however it’s nothing too spectacular. What is definitely spectacular is how Rivian engineered every part collectively to suit on a platform, the Gear Tunnel Shuttle, and the system can merely be deployed on the platform.
We get a greatest look to date at this method, because of a brand new video by Rivian CEO RJ Scaringe and Rachel Jewkes, the lead engineer of the camp kitchen:
Electrek’s Take
I nonetheless suppose that it’s on the costly aspect, however the system is rather well engineered.
It’s actually cool that you may simply carry it up, and now you’ve gotten this platform that has energy shops on it.
