    Is the Model X now a better buy over R1S? (WARNING: NO ELON MUSK DISCUSSIONS)

    Folks, I added a few points to note about Tesla MX versus R1S. Please read in case you are looking at a practical ownership experience review. I haven't covered the financial aspects such as tax credits. Running costs are the same for MX and R1S in terms of power consumption at home...

    Tesla has removed the Standard Range Model X in the US and dropped prices up to 19%. The Model X is now eligible for the $7,500 EV tax credit.

    For those of you who are looking at a Model X versus R1S comparison, here are some points to consider. I have owned a Model S and then a Model X. I placed a R1S reservation in 2019 while having my model S. Later on due to delays announced by Rivian, I bought a showroom model Model X in 2021. My...

    Thanks to everyone who responded in this thread. Saved me the time. Why would they even do such a thing to bad-mouth Rivian? Hope they are not shorting the stock ! Just saying !

    Safety Issue - R1S needs warning when liftgate is open

    I think a warning when we pull out and until 10 or 20 mph would be apt. Driving with the liftgate open is a valid use case when we carry long articles like wood, furniture etc. I agree continuous alerting is a pain.

    Safety Issue - R1S needs warning when liftgate is open

    You are right. The visual signal exists but it is easy to overlook that. An audible would help grab the driver's attention.

    Safety Issue - R1S needs warning when liftgate is open

    I agree. Happened to me the other day when I was pulling out of my garage. luckily I spotted it just after I pulled out.. It would've been good to get an audible warning right after shifting to 'Drive'.

    The Rivian R1S Destroys The Tesla Model X (I Own Both) - Owner's Delivery Review

    Personally for me, I am happier with the Rivian R1S. I just sold my Model X last week. The Rivian wins on the following. Ride comfort [suspension damping, seat comfort, shielding from the sun, better ride height and road view ] Quieter cabin [it is way quieter than the model X and my previous...
