How do they Stack Up? Tesla Model S Plaid vs Rivian R1S

Justin and Max take the Model S Plaid & the R1S for a drive and share their thoughts!

Rivian now has the access to all tesla superchargers, given the adapter sent from Rivian soon.

[@jachnguyen]

They only have access to about 15k+ superchargers, not all of them. Tesla has over 50k superchargers

@@jachnguyen Between public charging, Supercharger V3 and above (V2 is terrible anyway), plus access to the Rivian Adventure Network chargers, I'd still pick this over the Y. Road trips should be a non-issue.

Awesome content, Justin!

Went from Model Y to R1S Performance Dual, 21's, Std+ pack and love it more. Drove 800 miles and actually not horrible with non tesla charging, just have to plan longer trips and hope to get lucky with EvGo and EA or others. Waiting for my Tesla SC adapter but have a Tesla level 2 adapter now. Love the premium interior over Tesla.

Agreed my R1S max pack is my personal favorite EV if budget isn’t a concern. Model Y is still best bang for the buck!

[@paulbram2]

I think a better comparison would be the R1S quad motor to the Plaid.

Good content

Don't waste money on the max pack. It only adds like 15 miles over large pack. Avoid the standard pack. You should not be anywhere near 100K for this. I'm not sure I understand why you quoted 115K.

[@chocktalk]

ya your wrong on the price of the plaid, the pricees dropped, with tax like 100k max now

[@oceanspat]

you have not driven in Thailand yet

[@TheTeslaRentalGuy]

You are correct
