    Thank you for the side by side comparison review. I have been debating between the R1T and R1S. I came from many SUVs in previous years but since then I have had 5 trucks since then and still own a GMC Sierra 1500 AT4. I see the benefits of the R1T but I also like that extra internal space of the R1S. I think since it is usually just my wife and I plus I do use the bed a lot, then I will probably lean toward the R1T Truck.

    Very informative video. However, the one thing that caught my attention was The comparison with the ice vehicle and the EV range price. I notice a lot of EV reviewers will never compare it to a hybrid that gives over 50+ miles. Then the cost breakdown will be drastically different if not negligent. What do you think?

    You can speak your navigation destination in the Rivian. “Alexa, navigate to Fat Tire Brewery in Ft. Collins,” and it’ll ask you to confirm your destination before putting it on the screen. Even if you don’t have “Premium Connectivity,” the vehicle will connect via WiFi to your phone’s hotspot and all of the apps that need internet will work as they would via Rivian’s LTE antenna.

      Yes, I’m aware of that. However, once you’ve started typing an address or a name for something you can’t just speak it and Alexa is often wrong about directions. For me at least. You can do it in the Tesla by the way. (Just hit a mic and speak) thx for watching.

      @@johnj2803 it’s a fair question. The R1S is a better road tripper. However, as I mentioned, the Tesla charging network allowed us to take a different route. I think the R1T would’ve been a tiny bit more comfortable. Definitely the R1S would have been more comfortable, but the Tesla was easier once we were at our destination. So it’s a little bit like comparing apples and oranges. I would put them in this order: R1S, Tesla, R1T. But that order would change depending on the activity.

      Absolutely, I agree 200%. I pay monthly for it too, mostly because there are months when I pause it if I’m not driving as much or if I know I’ll be road-tripping a lot. Now, I know some people say it’s not worth it, but I’m on version 12.5.6.3, and honestly, it’s incredible. I use it in standard mode, and it drives just like I would-center lane, 5-10 mph over the speed limit, passing smoothly on the left and getting back over to keep pace. It’s not something I use locally, of course, but on the freeway? It’s a total game-changer. Where it truly shines is in heavy traffic. Sure, as the driver, you’re still in charge and need to pay attention, but the car’s capabilities are remarkable. Think about it: it’s got two cameras on each side, one in the rear, and the front-facing one. It’s taking in more data than you can as a human, so when you combine that with an attentive driver, it really is safer. For example, it’ll spot a car coming up from behind at a fast pace even if you’re focused on what’s ahead. It’ll pick up emergency vehicles, alert you, and move over. If it detects an aggressive driver two lanes over, it’ll adjust-move to the center lane, slow down, and notify you why. And it’s constantly monitoring the speed and flow of the traffic around it, adapting as needed. Sometimes, I catch myself looking down and wondering why it’s going 68 in a 70 zone, wishing it would just move over already. But then I realize it’s being cautious, and honestly, it’s taught me a bit of patience. Overall, it’s like having a super-attentive co-pilot that makes freeway driving smoother, safer, and way less stressful.
