A Vegan CEO. Animal-Free Interiors. And the Rivian R2 Configurator Is Finally Live!

If you’re on a vegan journey like I am, you might appreciate supporting companies that genuinely align with your values, and I honestly think Rivian deserves a serious look.

Their vehicles feature 100% animal-free interiors, sustainable materials, and a strong commitment to reducing environmental impact. Even more interesting to me, CEO RJ Scaringe is vegan himself. Rivian’s R1T and R1S also received PETA’s “REVolutionary Vegan Vehicle” Award for their animal-free interiors and sustainability-focused design.

What excites me most right now is the upcoming Rivian R2, a more affordable next-generation EV designed to bring Rivian’s mission to more people. The configurator is now live, and honestly, the vehicle looks incredible.

As someone who owns an Rivian R1T, I’ve become a huge fan of the company, the mission, and the driving experience. It feels good supporting a brand that is seriously thinking about sustainability, innovation, and moving beyond animal-derived materials in automotive design.

Would genuinely love to see more vegans and environmentally conscious people supporting companies that are helping move the industry in a better direction. And if anyone has questions about owning a Rivian, feel free to reach out, I’m always happy to share my experience as an owner.

Vegan Recs in Santa Monica :)

Hello all! I’m new to working in downtown Santa Monica and I’m surprised there aren’t as many vegan spots as I’d expect. Please let me know your recs that are close by!

Edit: also completely okay with vegetarian

Crunchy deep-fried veggies (eggplant, etc.) in sandwiches?

Are there any places that include sandwiches which have crunchy, deep-fried vegetables in them? I know some places do eggplant cutlets in sandwiches but they smother them in marinara or other sauces and make them soggy.

Are there any places that keep the deep fried vegetables crispy in a sandwich?

Anyone know where I can get some vegan soul food in the OC/ LA area? Never had it before but it looks so good.

Bday dinner tonight, Tane Izakaya or Men & Beasts?

Hey guys! I don’t order out much these days but looking to get a nice dinner for my birthday with a small group of friends. Which of these options would you prefer? Haven’t been to either but both look great.
