RivianTrackr Hangouts Debut: JerryRigEverything Talks Rivian Ownership, Tesla Breakups, and EV Future

In the very first episode of RivianTrackr Hangouts, I sit down with Zack Nelson (aka JerryRigEverything) to talk all things EV—from life with his Rivian to his thoughts on Scout, Telo, Tesla, and that now-infamous Cybertruck video.

We dig into what it’s actually like owning a Rivian,, how the community reacts to honesty, and where he thinks the industry is headed plus why he’s getting rid of his Tesla vehicles in 2025.

Zack doesn’t hold back—and that’s exactly why we had to kick things off with him.
