The brainchild of Martin Eberhard and Marc Tarpenning, Tesla has grown to be one of the most successful automobile giants.

Both of these cars are electric. Rivian designed its car with a subtle look. It looks just like any other pickup truck. Sticking to the core designs, Rivian has made this car look bold and beautiful. With a slight modernization of the design of the headlight area, they have tried to give the car a fierce look. 

While Tesla when designing the Cybertruck took the futuristic road. It looks like it is driven straight out of a fiction novel. The Tesla Cybertruck looks very aerodynamic.

With a cyberpunk and a sci-fi theme in mind, Tesla designed its new electric pickup truck. The design has got great fame as its uniqueness led it to grow on people. We can say not one of the companies is going for the old-school vibe. They want to redesign the way people imagine pickup trucks.

Performance

Tesla Cybertruck beats the Rivian R1T. With a longer trunk (6.5ft) and higher clearance, Tesla’s car beats the R1T. Cybertruck has an advantage over the competitor even when it comes to the towing capacity. Cybertruck is strong and can tow a total of 16000 lbs. Let us see how R1T fares in these aspects. The Rivian R1T has the following features:

  • A smaller trunk (4.5ft)
  • Lower clearance (14in)
  • Towing capacity (11000 lbs)

Acceleration time in both cars is superfast. But the point to be noted is that users don’t buy pickups to race. The users buy pickup trucks for their strength, agility, and capacity. 

Features

Both cars come loaded with features. Both the companies decided to market their pickup trucks as camping favorites. With tents decked up in their behind. The trucks even come with a mini kitchen. 

Yes, you hear it right- A kitchen. The Rivian R1T has beautifully used its gear tunnel to fit a kitchen inside it. While the kitchen in the Cybertruck is behind it, just underneath the futuristic tent. The features section cannot end without the mention of ever-evolving self-driving technology.

The amazing Tesla autopilot driving system is set on a path of upgrades till the Cybertruck comes out on the streets. The automobile companies with these cars surely aim to take camping to the next level. The image of Cybertruck with a bogey attached at the back has also got a lot of traction. People just love the look!

Price

A major battle ensues between the two companies when it comes to pricing their vehicle. Both companies want their vehicles to reach the masses. Both companies want to drive the attention of the people to the electric car industry. A good price point can end half of the battles. While Rivian has priced the R1T at $69000, but it is for the middle segment version of the car. We still don’t know how high will the other segments be priced.

Tesla has a long-standing goal of providing affordable solutions to its customer. With Cybertruck, Tesla has lived up to the promise. With the base model priced as low as $39900, Tesla has truly made its futuristic pickup truck affordable. The cheaper price point has made a lot of heads turn. The cheaper price point has created a euphoria around the car. 

Final Words

People are now interested to buy the Cybertruck. The Cybertruck completely crushes the R1T when it comes to pricing. The R1T will have to solely rely on the traditional design to win over the people. Rivian hopes high that the people will not be ready to let go of the old designs.

New to the industry, Rivian is looking to set a foot in the industry with the R1T. With the backing of major business names like Ford and Amazon, Rivian seems ready. Even though we can’t rule out a few hiccups along the road, Rivian has a strong shoulder to fall back to.

With this, we end this challenge. Cybertruck vs Rivian R1T was a tough fight. Cybertruck won on most of the parameters but, R1T puts up a grave challenge. We hope you like the comparison we put forward. We will come back with a new article. Till then, drive safely!
