I went to the Rivian event! The R2 is amazing and it's bigger with more miles than a Tesla Model Y. I can't wait to get my hands on one in 2026!

I own Tesla Model 3, but looking at Rivian R2, I feel like Tesla is not making enough to remain competitive in the market. Tesla should be introducing new features faster & with better quality, otherwise it will loose market. Personally, my next EV could be R2 actually. I love the look of it, the price & features that it has.

@muhanadkais 6 месяцев назад

@document6 6 месяцев назад

RJ explained on a podcast that the charge port on the R2 was intentionally placed near the battery pack in the rear to reduce high voltage cable needed as there are single motor rear wheel drive variants and this will help cut costs .. I’m fine with the charge port location in exchange for a $45,000 starting price BEFORE the $7500 ira credit yes it’s $37,500(!!!)

It doesn’t matter, Tesla is retrofitting its chargers with longer cables

Tesla needs to start stepping up their interior game.

@rohanb79 6 месяцев назад

Critiques: 1. The rear glass is directly a page out of Fisker ocean, you really will never drive like that on freeway , it also brings the dust and smoke in. 2. The front seats have no side bolstering and are flat. 2. The NACS port is a welcome change, but the location next to rear wheel well rather than at belt line is a huge miss. When you will go to open it will be full of mud and dirt as that part of the car gets very dirty. Putting it higher would have solved it and also not putting it on the drivers side is a huge problem for Tesla supercharging.

@rcpmac 6 месяцев назад

I’m sorry but the rear glass is a feature right out of Detroit 1968.

@awash7156 6 месяцев назад

The rear glass down has been a beloved and problem free feature of the Toyota 4Runner and Tundra for many years. Unless you’ve owned a vehicle and driven with it, you are just guessing and spreading FUD.

@gNoj8956 6 месяцев назад

2:03 & 9:20 Good direction with going with NACS charge port. But Rivian needs to put it on the LHD driverside

@RossKyle 6 месяцев назад

Agreed 💯. How will this work with Tesla superchargers with such short charging cables? They'll essentially be taking up 2 charge stalls...

@jeremyorwhatever 6 месяцев назад

Back in.

@RossKyle 6 месяцев назад

@@jeremyorwhatever obviously. But with the charger port on the passenger side rear, rivian owners will take up the charger on the passenger side since the cables are like 4ft long, meaning vehicles with charge ports on the driver's side (all Teslas) cannot use any superchargers when parked on the passenger side of a rivian like they normally would. Rivian owners consume 2 Tesla supercharger parking spots...

@rcpmac 6 месяцев назад

It’s old news that superchargers are being retrofitted with longer cables

@bmsrak6860 2 месяца назад

@larzlarz1140 6 месяцев назад

I noticed you said you’re 6’3”. I’m the same height. The problem I have with Teslas is that the B pillar is too far forward. I own a model S, I’ve rented a model 3 for 4 weeks and I’ve test driven a model Y. With all of them, with the seat all the way back, which is my comfortable driving position, my shoulder hits the B pillar getting in or out. It helps with the crash test rating, but it is annoying for me as a tall driver. Do you experience the same thing? And do you experience that in the R1T? And did you get to sit in the R3 to see if that is an issue?

Mercedes, BMW, Hyundai, Porsche are all getting better at the efficiency game and even surpassing Tesla in some cases (Lucids being the market leader here) and they haven't even introduced their next Gen power trains yet. Not to mention the Chinese companies who are every further along.. R2 is not even going to be at the level these guys are today let alone beating Tesla or Lucids efficiency today.
