Our photographer takes the R1T on a snowboarding trip that turns into an odyssey.
So it's no surprise it was the obvious choice when photographer Brandon Lim wanted to go snowboarding at Big Bear in the mountains east of Los Angeles.
When the trail opened up, I had a chance to enjoy the R1T's excess of torque. Deep mud washes were a breeze, requiring no more than half throttle to send 12-foot rooster tails into the air from all four corners. With no internal combustion engine sucking in air, I never had a worry about power loss at altitude, or flooding and damaging the powertrain.
The drive to the ski resort from the cabin was just 3 miles, so I was surprised to see we used 15 percent of the R1T's state of charge by the time we pulled into the lot. Even though we spent most of the time waiting in traffic, keeping the cabin warm in the freezing temps put more strain on the battery.
