This mom-fluencer and car enthusiast TikToker from the US state of North Carolina knows her cars – but the key of the 2025 Rivian R1S EV, in particular, blew her away.
It’s an SUV with a massive three rows of seats.
It also has some pretty impressive safety credentials.
However, it was the key that made her declare it ‘the future’.

The 2025 Rivian R1S EV
The SUV is plenty big enough for a family, as Jana Askeland of Real Mom Car Tours explained.
What’s more, the 2024 Rivian R1S earned the much coveted ‘Top Safety Pick’ award from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS).
However, what really got the car expert from Raleigh-Durham-Chapel Hill Area activated was the SUV’s tool to get into it.
“The guy handed me it and he said ‘Welcome to the future’,” she explained.
When she realized how the EV turned on and off she was inclined to agree.
She simply swipes the credit card-like object across the flush door handle to unlock.
When it’s time to switch off and lock up, you simply park, swipe the card across the popped-out handle, and walk away as it turns itself and locks.
“This is so wild,” she enthuses.
Other cars with an impressive key
Lifting this humble car element seems like a trend in automotive newness currently.
Tesla is finally launching an app that turns your Apple Watch into a car key.
It’s one of a few new functions and features released in the ‘Holiday Update’.
Meanwhile, this Oregon man who managed to get a Bugatti Divo showed how the key is sent and even that’s impressive.
Its carbon-fiber encased crate reflects the finish on the supercar.
The downside is that replacing a lost Bugatti key costs more than a lot of people’s cars.
