RIVIAN R1T VS TESLA CYBERTRUCK ROAD TRIP TO LAS VEGAS

EV Channels Review

This video documents a road trip from an unspecified location to Las Vegas, comparing the charging experience of a Rivian R1T using Tesla's Supercharger network with a Tesla Cybertruck. The reviewer, Sherwin, details initial challenges with the A2ZEV adapter, including unexpected charges and connection issues, but eventually figures out the process, noting the higher cost for non-Tesla vehicles. The review highlights the Rivian's efficiency in 'all-purpose' mode, especially on flat terrain (averaging 2.79 miles/kWh), contrasting it with significant drops during inclines (down to 1.24 miles/kWh). A key takeaway is the Rivian's minimal overnight battery drain (1-2%) compared to the Cybertruck's higher loss (14% over 23 hours), attributed to the Rivian's lack of cabin overheat protection. While the Cybertruck garnered significant attention on the Las Vegas Strip, the Rivian R1T proved to be a capable and efficient road trip companion, especially once the charging kinks were worked out.
