Rivian has put its Travel Kitchen on sale for $1,400, an induction cooktop kit designed to run off an R1T or R1S or a 120-volt outlet of at least 15 amps, Teslarati reported. The two burners share 1,500 watts, which can be put on one burner or split between both. A touch-control panel runs the unit, and it transfers heat only to an induction-capable pot or pan. The kit is meant to sit on a tabletop within reach of a power source and includes a carrying case, Hangout Lights and poles, a cutting board and a utensil drawer. Rivian says it can be stored in the R1T's gear tunnels, in an R1 front trunk, or in any trunk until it is needed, and that it has ergonomic handles for carrying.
The company is leaning on the sustainability pitch as well as the camping one. Teslarati reported that the cutting board is made from recycled materials and that the interior of the kitchen uses material from castor plants, part of a broader claim that the kit uses sustainable materials. Induction cooking, the report noted, is more efficient and cleaner at the point of use than a gas or wood fire, though that comparison depends on how the vehicle or wall outlet is powered. Retractable poles and the Hangout Lights are intended for nighttime cooking. The product is available now at the $1,400 price, according to the report; Teslarati did not list a separate U.S. accessories-tax figure or a bundle discount.
A $1,400 two-burner induction kit is an official Rivian accessory, not a standard feature on every R1 truck or SUV, and it requires induction-compatible cookware and a sufficiently strong 120-volt circuit if it is not drawing from the vehicle. The 1,500-watt shared cap means both burners cannot each run at a full 1,500 watts at the same time. The report is a product launch, not an independent laboratory test of boil times or of how much range the kitchen draws from an R1 battery in a weekend of camp cooking.
The verified news is that the Travel Kitchen is on sale at $1,400, with two shared 1,500-watt induction burners, a listed kit of lights, board and case, and power from the R1 or a 15-amp outlet. It is not included in the vehicle's base price, and it is not a Tesla product. Teslarati presented the kit as a compact camp-cooking setup for breakfast, lunch or dinner and as a product "available today," with a promotional video, rather than as a factory-installed option or a limited test fleet, and the $1,400 figure is the only price the report gives.
