Somebody. So this is a truck that so
many people have been talking about
lately because it's all electric
and electric truck. A rivian.
Steve the tech guy is joining us.
Steve, I'm so excited. I can't tell you.
My whole family is like,
we wanna rivian cause my
husband used to have a a truck,
but it was quite a gas guzzler.
Yes. So this is pretty huge.
I'm shocked to see how big it is.
It's. Yeah, it it it is the
opposite of a gas guzzler.
It'll take you 314 miles on a charge.
Wow. And it is loaded with luxury.
And technology,
it's certainly is.
Do you wanna do a little cruise
around and show us cause
this compartment right there?
Yes. Was amazing.
Yeah. This is A is a wonderful
thing for stowing your fishing
poles and your kayak paddles
and and storage on this thing.
It's just incredible.
There's no like, you know,
wasted space with an engine, right?
No, no. All the batteries are underneath you.
It's a skateboard chassis is what?
We call them and this whole new class of
vehicles are really about the software
and less about the mechanical part.
OK. Yeah. So it's an exciting
change, very exciting.
And then normally we're at the
engine would be in the front,
like I have a Tesla and
that's basically storage.
Yes. What does this one have?
This is your frunk, your front,
your front trunk word that we all use now.
And it is, it is quite spacious.
You gotta you got a ton of room on here.
And it and it keeps going.
Is this the one that can
be used as a cooler too?
Yes you can. You can fill that with ice
and beer, but not if you're driving,
not if you're driving.
No, no the PSA right there.
But I'm looking inside here and I'm
amazed because it's such a great.
It looks like so clear these
two screens that are here.
Obviously it can guide you a lot, right?
Yes. It it's got all of the electronics
and you see the cars around, you see,
you see pedestrians on the street,
on your. Your displays here.
And parking is just a wonderful
thing because it somehow gives you an
overhead view of the entire vehicle.
You can see everything around you. So
yeah, yeah, some people might be a
little nervous with such a big truck.
Hard to see, you know,
your blind spots, things like that.
But not when you have all these screens.
No, you feel like you've
got maximum visibility. OK.
And charging something like this,
say you're wanna take one of these
on your Labor Day road trip.
Would that be easy to do?
How often would you need to charge?
Well, you know. Every 300 miles you're
gonna you're gonna need to charge. OK. And I
could get you far. You could
go all the way to Palm Springs.
Yeah. Big Bear. Yep. OK.
You can get to Mexico a lot
quicker than that if you want to.
And so you can charge it at home.
OK. And so kind of a slower
trickle charge unless you've got,
you know, the a set up for it. OK.
That will get you a little bit faster
and then you can find different
charging stations and the car will,
the truck router will help you do that.
OK
and let's hop out.
I know it's a long way down for me,
so I'm gonna do this carefully at five one.
It's a little tough to get out of a truck,
but there we go. OK.
So as far as obviously when this
is charged you can drive it,
but is this the one that
you can also use to charge?
If your house, if it goes out of power.
Oh yes. That's what this kid
Oh yes. This has this has a 12
Volt and 120 Volt plugs all over
it so you can plug into
your vehicle. Yes. And
when you get into the bed, yeah,
you can not only, you know,
plug in your devices but let
me put this down as well. OK.
That little flap right there has
a compressor, an air compressor.
So you can, you can charge.
You can. Plug in your inflatables
and things like that.
Charge that right here and then
you've got more inflatable paddle
board or whatever you floaties you
wanna take out to the beach. Exactly.
You can blow them up this way. I love this.
Speaking of going out on the water,
because we have a lot to get to here.
Yes, we do. Labor Day weekend.
Ohh. So many people will be,
you know, at the Bay, at the beach.
This is cool.
I've never seen anything like this.
What is this?
This is this is I I think this
is the most wonderful thing.
This is a Hobie which is
known for its catamarans and.
Iconic? Yeah, Hobie Adler.
They started building these.
I don't know,
maybe 10 years ago it seems like,
and it's a wonderful kayak,
but it also has this ingenious drive
in it which it was designed by the
hobby engineers in Oceanside to mimic
the the the way a Penguin swims,
because it's vertical.
Why not learn from Penguins?
They have mastered this.
So yes, this is so smart.
That's why this in here. And
and, you know, you can zip around.
I love hands free, obviously.
No fossil fuel. Right. Right.
And people love them for fishing.
Yeah. They put fish finders on here,
ice chest pole holders. They're
not like sitting in the kayak because
sometimes I get a little weary of
that and I'm not good at the paddling.
But if you're using your leg,
power is a little stronger for me at least.
So that helps a lot to have it that
way. Yeah. And it's.
Hip so long and you can go fishing
far out in places that are,
you know, outside of the marine
protected areas here in town.
So it also has a rudder. Ohh, nice.
And which you can control from right here.
This gives you your direction.
Wow. And the whole thing
only weighs about £45.00.
So it's super light.
You can throw it on top.
You are making me want one of these
and take it anywhere. So great.
As we know, a lot of people lose
their phones in the water. Yes.
Let's hope that doesn't happen this weekend.
And and if you have a ride and you're
gonna want that because there's an
app on here that acts like a key. OK.
And you can check in with your card.
Tells you how much charge it is.
This is the catalyst.
Total protection. OK.
And it'll go down to 33 feet of
water in the water. Yes.
Taking pictures and video. Yeah.
Cause I've always sea lions and
all the fun things that have.
Yeah, exactly. Forests are there.
You wanna take the beautiful thing now
for people who want to go to Mexico,
give us some advice. If you want to
go to Mexico, then you just
set this for for Spanish. OK.
And translator. Pocket tuck.
Translator. Exactly. Have like
10 seconds. I apologize. But
what can I say in 10 seconds in Spanish?
Come on, tell me.
OK, just say hello in Spanish.
OK, I am one. There you go.
I don't think I did.
That was operator error,
but this is a very cool device
that you will get anywhere
that there's there she is.
You won't be quiet.
Actually. Thank you, Steve.
Thank you so much.
