Talk about truck nuts. A Texas-based urologist performed a vasectomy using the battery in his Rivian R1T pickup to power his surgical equipment. And unlike some of the weird Tesla stunts we’ve seen lately, this Rivian-powered procedure was done out of necessity.
Dr. Christopher Yang was set to perform a vasectomy at his clinic in Austin when a power outage struck the area. His patient didn’t want to reschedule the appointment because he’d already scheduled time off from work to recover. They needed to come up with a solution. That’s when genius struck.

What’d he use the truck to power - a pair of pneumatic nibblers? Did he have the guy up on a car lift?

My base [not a hybrid] F150 has a 400W 110V inverter.
Not sure if it is a sine wave inverter.

Considering the chain of legal liabilities here if things went “south”.
“You did *what* with the electric outlet on the Rivan?”

My neighbor and his wife had two boys then he got a vasectomy. A year later they had twins.
I asked him “do they give you a warranty on that?”
He said no, but you get another vasectomy for free.

It was probably the name of Judge Gladys Dykes’ court Bailiff too.

Doctor Plugs Surgical Equipment Into Rivian R1T to Perform Vasectomy During Power Outage Because a Vasectomy is such a life-or-death time sensitive operation that it couldn't be put off until power was restored...

It must have been one of those emergency vasectomies.
If they had waited for the power to come back on, a sperm might have escaped, and done who-knows-what.

Crappy truck. Helluva battery.
