WHAT DO MODEL Y AND TRUCK OWNERS THINK OF THE RIVIAN R1T

EV Channels Review

This video offers a comparative look at the Rivian R1T through the eyes of owners of a GMC Denali truck and a Tesla Model Y Long Range. The reviewer highlights the R1T's unique features, such as the gear tunnel, air compressor, and outlets, which are appreciated by the truck owner. The Model Y owner, John, provides a more in-depth driving impression, noting the R1T's smoother ride quality due to its air suspension and larger tires, and a more responsive accelerator pedal. However, both guests point out the R1T's less intuitive infotainment system and user interface compared to Tesla, citing difficulties in adjusting settings and creating profiles. The lack of auto-canceling turn signals is also mentioned as a drawback for Tesla owners. Despite these usability challenges, the R1T is generally praised for its comfort and utility as a truck, though its interior space, particularly the rear seat, is found to be less accommodating than expected by one guest.
