Edmunds: R1S vs. Tesla Model X Plaid Three Row EV SUV Comparison Test. Which Luxury EV SUV Is Best?

[windblowlc]

Says 3.4

I saw that, but they listed the R1S 0-60 in the beginning of the video @4:24 as 3.9s. You cannot take them seriously.

Maybe they accidentally shared the 0-60 of their dual motor review.

140k maytag hatchback versus 85k truck-based SUV? Sometimes life isn't just about 0-60...

It always amazes me how so many of these high profile, online, YouTube reviewers get so many basic, well known and documented details wrong - horse power, vehicle weight, other vehicle dimensions, specs and features. I mean, seriously, do they do any research, at all, prior to spitting out these reviews? Does anybody bother to fact check what they are reporting? Sadly, this level of reporting is far from limited to Rivian reviews, but that’s a whole other rant.

It's really the problem with the YouTube and blogger generation. Any idiot with a webpage or a YouTube channel is now a journalist or writer or content creator. When the bar for entry is this low you will get this sort of stuff for the majority. Paradoxically it also is why the MSM is so abysmally poor. The people who ARE actually interesting and well put together make MUCH more money off a YouTube channel or their own webpage than they would working for someone else.

All that added together means most mainstream channels are going to be complete garbage and you're going to have to weed through tons of crap to find something decent.

You give me Ferrari or Lamborghini... I wont be able to drive above 85 . Well price is too much. It seems like r1s is little more practical. I love my R1T. And I regret canceling my r1s and changing it to r1t. It's not like I regret getting r1t but should have waited little more to get r1s. Well..

Edmunds never got it right in the early days of Tesla either. They really don't know what they are doing.

Unfortunately, it‘s not limited to Edmunds. Automotive “journalists” and publications abound that simply don’t bother to get the most basic, most commonly known facts right. For those, who have followed Rivian for awhile, you know what I mean. It speaks to the veracity of everything you read and hear, about anything, not just Rivian. If one is reading a review on the latest Porsche, Chevy, or whatever, and that person does not already have a pretty thorough knowledge of the product, they can easily be led to believe a bunch of BS.

On another note, I finally have my First MIle Demo Drive scheduled for 12/8. Woo-hoo! I’m going to get the straight scoop on the R1T.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Why is this person comparing a squashed station wagon to an SUV?
