I m going to be ok, I think to myself as sweat drips from every inch of my body due to both the blazing sun and the acute fear coursing through my veins.
They know what they re doing. Right? Oh god.RIGHT?? Hold on. We re just going to send it, my driver says with a maniacal smile before flipping her hat backward, taking her foot off the brake, and slamming it on the gas. And like that, we re off down an embankment in the middle of the sand dunes in Glamis, California, a dusty stretch along the U.S. and Mexico border, in a lifted pickup truck filled with so much gear I don t even know what s what.

The Rebelle Rally has been going on since 2016 and for 2020, it got its first EV. Rivian decided to take on another ridiculous off-road adventure with journalist Emme Hall at the wheel, and Rebecca Donaghe navigating.
The team took on some of the finest navigators and drivers around for the challenge and finished sixth, despite this being Rivian‘s first crack at the rally. To celebrate, it has released a gorgeous film about the team’s experience at the 2,000 km (1,200 miles) rally.
Less about speed and more about navigating, the rally’s organizers didn’t want to have to cut any stages short or add a class for the electric vehicles.
