And no I am not a Rivian or Tesla investor. I wish Rivian paid me for the video but they didn’t. I am grateful I got the car before year end though for Sec 179 write off. That being said I am looking at buying Tesla stock right now with it being down so much.
Hi Ryan, is it quiet on the highway? I’m shopping now for an suv, considering Volvo XC90, Lexus GX, bmwx5, Porsche Cayenne, Range Rover sport. Like the Rivian but want comfort and quiet in addition to dependability. My daughter has the cayenne but it’s too small for me.. be well, congrats on the car… how’s the range as well?
I own a '22 Model X LR and a new '23 Rivian R1S. The X is more of a sports crossover, while the Rivian is a serious off-road truck. It's a bit quicker 0-60 than the Tesla, but the R1S is not as planted or nimble. Comparing driver aids... I am not a fan of Driver-plus. You can't use it on anything other than mapped highways, so is not nearly as useful as Enhanced Autopilot. I like the style of both in different ways. The Model X interior is like the Eero Saarinen TWA Hotel at JFK airport. The Rivian interior is like a retro futuristic Grand Wagoner. They each have their own style of bells and whistles. As for off roading, the Tesla isn't suited for anything more challenging than a dirt road with some small branches. The Rivian can raise itself high, and handle some serious Wrangler-style off-roading.
Ive had my R1S for 2 weeks and LOOOOOVE IT. Our neigjborhood just got hit by a devestating hailstorm. Every car NOT in a garage was a total loss. Cars being towed out of the neighborhood daily. Luckily I left 20 min before the hail hit and returned an hour later. I can tell you the Rivian handles extremely well driving on a foot of hail. Yes 12 inches of golf ball sized hail!
Beautiful vehicle!!!!! I seriously believe when Toyota 4Runner owners see this thing they’ll be very interested! As for the roof if you’ve ever owned an Audi with their panoramic roof I always want that in an SUV.
Great video but I don't like how "wrap guy" belittled and downplayed the R1S. His words: "I'm kinda living bi-curiously through your *little* Rivian over here" right after talking about his Hummer SUV vaporware. lmao come on bruh!
he says that to me and I'm going to the next ppf shop. He did hook it up for free for you tho so all good. EDIT: he did a great job on the wrap. dude's fine by me.
It’s my understanding that the wristband was only available with the launch edition and can’t be purchased separately. Personally I’d love to have one, especially when hiking and whatnot, just not having to carry the key with me would be awesome
The panoramic sunroof is actually why I didn't Pre Order a couple years ago. Sure you can tint it but it's not the same as having a retractable cover. The rest of the car looks amazing though
I have both as well You'll like the Tesla much better for longer runs due to the supercharging. The phone chargers on the Rivian are terrible and doesn't have autopilot yet. Other than that they are hard to compare as they are both nice.
This is the car company that I hope survives. Unlike xPeng (and a bunch of other EV makers) that are only after the investor cash and i dont really feel they want to make a high quality car for the consumer, rivian actually delivers a true high quality product
I’d buy one today but the 3rd party charging networks are just trash. If Tesla opened up their superchargers to other OEMs in the US, I’d buy a Rivian immediately.
Really good review. I’m certainly starting to take notice of the Rivian R1S. Question for you: Can you fit a standard LP gas 20# cylinder (for a gas grill) upright in the front trunk?
Would love to hear a review a year down the road. I like to break my cars in before I decide whether to keep it or not. I remember not liking how my Tesla rode stiff in the beginning but after awhile it got smoother. Also what is the charge time for a full charge and at what voltage? What is the aprox milage on a full charge?
Really like the R1S, so it's nice to hear from someone who's owned a Model X and can compare the two. Personally, the R1S just looks like it's got better quality and versatility than the Tesla, and I even think it looks better (though the Model X does look nice). I hope your buddy Houston was joking about that $10K price tag for the PPF and tinting. Shouldn't cost anywhere near that much, but I definitely liked the look afterward. Amazing how much different it looked with the matte finish. Added a really custom, slick look to an already great looking EV.
still less range than a model x without the access to the supercharging networks. the supercharging networks and more range is one of teslas best features. im sure one day every ev will have more of a supercharging network and added range.
Lol you should tell your wrap guy he is not getting his hummer anytime soon…I have one on order too and got my Rivian last month. Hummer suv eta is still probably 9-18 months
I'm seriously considering selling my Model Y and buy a R1S. One thing that all the reviews comparing Rivian and Tesla do not cover the comparison of how the companies support their customers. My son owns a R1T and I own a model Y. Tesla sucks in customer support and Rivian really goes the extra mile in this area. I found Tesla customer support is basically none. And whenever you do get hold of anybody in the service area, their attitude generally come across as arrogant to a point that I find them very unpleasant to deal with.
Standing height under the rear cargo door seems limited? Maybe 6 ft? Pity the cost / weight cutting by Rivian resulted in deleting the spare tire. Such a big expensive SUV should have one standard.
Ryan, another tuber kimjava who also owns a model X who drove the R1S said the Rivian had clearly louder electric motors and kind of bothered her. Since you owned a model X, did you notice that too? That the R1S being noticeably louder than tesla?
@@smallbusinessdreams I get that. I heard that too, on more than one channel. I specifically heard about the electric motors on acceleration tho. Unless are the air shocks constantly activating on street drives?
Guy don't even have his Hummer SUV yet but still naming/shaming customers investment. Just do yr job and appreciate ppl stoping by yr garage. I will nvr give business to such ppl.
Let me correct all of the false info in just the first few minutes of this “review”. Title says “I own both” the Model X and R1S, then in the video he says he USED to have a Model X. Also, he says a Model X is $150K. That is also not true. Maybe a plaid Model X gets close to $150K. No EV completes with Tesla because other charging networks totally, completely suck. Other chargers are often broke or charge way below advertised rates. Also, Autopilot wipes the floor with every other driver assistance system.
Facts or paid sponcerships? Also I heard they're having financial trouble, FUD or truth. The guy with the glasses seems a little bias. I'm not convinced.
@@ChristopherPhillipsDev believe those ratings if you want but my Tesla is far more reliable than either of my bmw’s ever were. Probably the same ratings that say Tesla’s aren’t safe lol. BS

How do you claim 179? Because you need the R1S for your business?
Lol. Financial advice too? All in one for sure.
Smart! Lots of value in growth stocks these next few months! Happy buying. I’m gonna grab some RIVIAN shares below $15!

Does the R1S ride good on bad roads? How does it compare to X. Thanks

That R1S looks so sick!

It’s frustrating to wait for rivian to take so long for mass production. I’ve been waiting forever.
Unlock the speaker in the vehicle settings. Took me a while to learn that.
Wow the Rivian looks insane in Matte! Wow!
Rivian looks so cool. Hope they succeed.

Rivian will be able to use Tesla chargers real soon. That will no longer be an issue.
This is the car company that I hope survives. Unlike xPeng (and a bunch of other EV makers) that are only after the investor cash and i dont really feel they want to make a high quality car for the consumer, rivian actually delivers a true high quality product
The R1S El Cap Granite with matte ppf looks sic. Can you post more photos or shots of it? 🔥🔥🔥
Great video!!! Love the content you are putting out!
I live in nz happy to try it out . I brought shares an ur price is going down every day
that wrap looks incredible!
Ok beyond jelly for that matte rivian. I am here for the aggressive look lol 😂
IF you have a at home charger yes. If you have a good network around you...yes. If you live in a tesla charger only area - this is a moot point.
Pop that champagne and grab it from the R1S cooler. Epic experience bruh!!
I’d buy one today but the 3rd party charging networks are just trash. If Tesla opened up their superchargers to other OEMs in the US, I’d buy a Rivian immediately.
Did ya?
@@milescoleman910 Yup! Have a reservation in for a max pack!

I'm five months into my R1S and I love it more and more every day.

not gonna lie, normally don't like matte wraps, but this one made it look 10x better. matte handles would've been nice tho
Funny noise from rear interior, very annoying.
R1T is more quiet and tight feel .
The guy doing the wrap bought a Hummer EV 😂😂

Seems like rich people always get things comped lol
Similar to giving someone a ride somewhere and getting one back later. Just with thousands of dollars or more
Yeah but you can’t hate the game Ryan has provided so much value for him and made him way more money than that $10,000 worth of wrap
Standing height under the rear cargo door seems limited? Maybe 6 ft? Pity the cost / weight cutting by Rivian resulted in deleting the spare tire. Such a big expensive SUV should have one standard.
It has a spare tire
I wonder how much it was to do the tinted window and matte wrap. Looks sick
car is a beast
Correction: Tesla Model X is $110k, not $150k. This Rivian R1S Launch Edition is $90k. Definitely not "half the cost."
Cool car Ryan keep them coming lol 😢
I don’t think so. The regular model y long range can beat hands down the 90k dual motor max pax in torque and quick acceleration
It's bad ass. I like it.
How’s the battery range?
Is that a Ryan Pineda/ Byltbasic collaboration jacket?
Ryan, another tuber kimjava who also owns a model X who drove the R1S said the Rivian had clearly louder electric motors and kind of bothered her. Since you owned a model X, did you notice that too? That the R1S being noticeably louder than tesla?
The rivian is louder because of the shock air ride "compressor." Adjustable height for off roading.
@@smallbusinessdreams I get that. I heard that too, on more than one channel. I specifically heard about the electric motors on acceleration tho. Unless are the air shocks constantly activating on street drives?
@Ronny Y The car self adjusts for a sports ride. I get my 1st test drive in 10 days. The R1T has the compressor on the outside, inside on the R1S.
Do you find the motor noise an issue to you?
0:53 My respect for Ryan 📈📈📈
Can you comment on the apparent vampire drain experienced by some.
No spare tire?!?!?
tell me you’re a rivian investor without telling me you’re a rivian investor
Salty Tesla fanboi 😂
Grow up lmao
The back gives me wagoneer vibes
how much did they pay now???
gave to him for free valued at 10k
The R1S handles very well driving on 12" of golf ball-sized hail as well.
Odered in 2019 but just arrived 3 weeks ago?! Dang! That's a good 4 years! 😅 Oh good, I need to order now so I can drive it in 2027 lmao!😂🤦🏻♂️🤬
It’s all Las Vegas raiders truck
Just dont road trip it from coast to coast
I can't wait till mine comes in!!! I love the matte finish. Do you mind telling us how much that cost?
The guy said it was free!
Why do people want to make their cars look like they were spray painted? Silly.
Also matte ppf is not that thick. Gloss ppf is way thicker. More news for your wrap guy.
Is that true? What about regular wraps?
Matte is ugly. I like the glossy much more.
You own both. Can I have one? Thanks
Guy don't even have his Hummer SUV yet but still naming/shaming customers investment. Just do yr job and appreciate ppl stoping by yr garage.
I will nvr give business to such ppl.
Seems a little off brand, but I love the content either way 🙂
It's the PIG nose 🐽 car 💯💯 the first thing I think of. Great car tho
Coco
(i own both)
Who cares
🎉
Nothing destroys Tesla. Tesla will continue to adapt and outmaneuver the competition.
Yeah right. lol
bruuuh 12:39
Can we get a better vocabulary without all the "super" descriptors!
Rivian can't keep up with Tesla. Tech isn't close. You don't understand vehicles, you just have money
As for the design of the car I still prefer Tesla!!
Let me correct all of the false info in just the first few minutes of this “review”. Title says “I own both” the Model X and R1S, then in the video he says he USED to have a Model X.

Other chargers are often broke or charge way below advertised rates. Also, Autopilot wipes the floor with every other driver assistance system.
Now if they only fix the terrible charging curves. These Rivians charge like crap compared to any Tesla.
Rivian will be bankrupt eventually bro
Not at all, mainly because it's backed by amazon
Amazon and Ford probably would not have invested in the company if they thought that.
Its just the new toy mentality, give it a minute and the flaws will start to show.
Facts or paid sponcerships? Also I heard they're having financial trouble, FUD or truth. The guy with the glasses seems a little bias. I'm not convinced.
I wish they paid me. But no
Model X Plaid is better. Screen in the back, better doors, and I would leave any Rivian in the dust if I enter Drag Strip Mode.
Tesla is again near the bottom of the list in reliability rankings. But sspppeeeed right?
@@ChristopherPhillipsDev believe those ratings if you want but my Tesla is far more reliable than either of my bmw’s ever were. Probably the same ratings that say Tesla’s aren’t safe lol. BS
Which way did you sell your R1S? Thanks!
Apple (tesla) 👑 vs android (Rivian) 🚽 💩
Average Tesla fanboy
Nope! I’m an Apple guy that prefer Rivian!
