Rivian R1T 1st Generation (2022-present) vs Tesla Cybertruck 1st Generation (2024-present)

43.01 ODI reports were recorded per 10,000 EWR-produced vehicles. “Engine stall or loss of power” is the most frequently matched narrative (8 reports).

41.13 ODI reports were recorded per 10,000 EWR-produced vehicles. “Engine stall or loss of power” is the most frequently matched narrative (21 reports).

EPA estimates $850–$1,150 in annual energy cost for the latest configurations. Comparable vehicles average $1,007.

The adaptive suspension controls the R1T's mass exceptionally well and gives it remarkable cornering confidence for a truck, although size limits low-speed ease.

Rear steering and steer-by-wire give the Cybertruck extraordinary agility for its dimensions; limited natural feedback and an adaptation period keep the result below sports-car territory.

The adaptive suspension and quiet EV cabin score well, with some seat-shape and control-interface reservations.

Ride isolation and front-seat comfort are strong; rear-seat firmness and unconventional visibility temper the result.

The cabin is not the largest electric pickup, but rear space is usable and the frunk, bed, and gear tunnel create exceptional cargo flexibility.

The front cabin and bed are large, while rear accommodation and access are less convincing against full-size electric-truck peers.

OTA updates, navigation, vehicle controls, and EV integration are advanced; touchscreen dependence and missing mainstream phone projection reduce usability.

The hardware, display, OTA architecture, and vehicle integration are leading-edge, but stability reports and extreme touchscreen dependence carry real penalties.
