2023 Rivian R1S Review // The Tesla Bronco Defender

  • เผยแพร่เมื่อ 10 ม.ค. 2023
  • The 2023 Rivian R1S Quad-Motor AWD ($130,300 as specced in Canada, $96,250 in the US) has funky styling, innovative design, and can travel a respectable range on a single charge. And even though the range is slightly limited in this spec due to the optional all-terrain wheels, the R1S is capable of up to 517 km (321 miles) when equipped with the 21 inch road going wheels. As the SUV companion to the Rivian R1T pickup truck, Thomas and James are curious how it compares not only to its competition, but also to its equally adventurous and outgoing family member. Watch to see what they think of the new Rivian R1S! Thanks for watching. SUBSCRIBE!

    I’m not sure how long ago this video was made, but Rivian recently did an OTA update that, among other things, recalibrated the suspension. My R1T rides even better now and is more settled over poor roads. I’m sure it’s the same for the R1S. They also added a setting that automatically lowers suspension when put in park. Nice for shorter people or loading things in bed.

MKB was talking about how classic supposedly tough SUV maker Hummer let him drive their new EV and were like don't do this, don't do that, don't x1000 things. Meanwhile Rivian was like here's ours... do your worst! Just try and break it!

    I've had my R1T before the price hike, and here's some of my takeaways. The steering wheel can be adjust faster by tapping your name in the top left. The camera quality has gotten better with one of the latest updates. The range is surprisingly consistent. Rivian rep told me I'd get 280 because of my offroad tires, but I dont get less than 300. The speakers are amazing, the speed is fantastic, the handling is amazing, and the steering is better than most sports cars. The downsides are that the maps is complete garbage, camera quality still isn't on par with others. The turning circle is garbage, and the air suspension makes weird noises.

    As one of the very early adopters, (11/29/2018) I initially wanted the R1S. Later, after learning of the delay of the SUV, I switched to the truck. I cannot express how happy I am with my Compass Yellow R1T! Tracked it a few times and got consistent 11.4 second runs at 110 mph. Too bad they limited the top speed to 110 mph. It prevents me from doing an 11.2 second run! The limiter shuts the truck down about 200 feet from the end of the 1/4 mile.

    Chances are Rivian made the R1T to be a truck, and just changed the body for the R1S, and didn't recalibrate it for the shorter wheelbase. So they dialed in the R1T, and mailed in the R1S.

      They caught on so quick 1- because Tesla dropped the ball with their pickup truck. That’s what people were waiting for and 2- Ford and Chevy took forever to build their electric truck.
      With that being said, I’m starting to think that Fiat/Chrysler/Mopar (Dodge) should buy Rivian. I think the R1T would be an incredible platform for an Electric Dodge Ram and the R1S as a great platform for the Durango or Jeep Grand Cherokee.

    I bought an R1S and had some service work done with it. They provided me an R1T loaner, so I've driven these back to back for a few days. I just returned the loaner a couple of hours ago and drove my SUV home. While I agree the truck has a slightly better steering experience, you definitely have exaggerated the difference. Especially calling the SUV "dangerous." I think what most likely happened was that the truck blew you away (as it should have) and your expectations for the SUV were set pretty high based on your experience a few months back. This has happened to me too, while launching these vehicles still brings a smile to my face, it's nothing compared to the giggles 1st timers get when they ride with me.

      It can’t tow long distances. Let’s face it, people buying these vehicles aren’t buying them because they are trying to help their environment. They’re buying them to say I don’t pay a ridiculous amount in gas prices right now. Once they make the switch it’ll go right back to the normal. Electricity is going to cost as much as gasoline because reasons. People also don’t mention the fact that these big electric vehicles have GVWRs that are equivalent to ambulances and medium duty flatbed trucks. They’re as dangerous, at the speed limit, as ICE vehicles are going 25 over the speed limit. Making an rc car to scale isn’t impressive.

    Great job on the video to all involved! Thanks for making it. I wonder if because this thing is so fast it triggers something in your brain to compare it against sports cars that have a more planted ride. Does it feel more unstable than a Jeep Wrangler does on the highway? What about comparing it directly to a spec'd out Rubicon and a new 4Runner TRD Pro? Include an off-road comparison and it would be on my list of favorite videos ever. I've seen the R1T do things off-road that blew my mind, so I am very excited about what electric vehicles could do for the off-road enthusiasts around the world.

      A 7000lbs car that will do 0-60 is 3 secs needs to handle very well or it will catch a lot of people out. With that amount of velocity, a sports car comparison is warranted.

Tesla made normal looking EVs that are very quick and can keep up with or outrun sportscars at the stop light.

    Even though the R1T maybe a better vehicle, I think some of the context of this vehicle was lost in the comparison. Obviously driving dynamics was not one of those things and hopefully it can be fixed up with software and it's not baked into a flawed chassis. You'd buy the R1S to move people and luggage.
