I concur. As R1S owner, I kept seeing R1S beats its range estimator. Rivian is on very conservative side of EPA estimate where Tesla overestimates its range as always. AND that is not even the largest battery pack yet, Max pack 180kWh is coming Q3 2023z.

How good can a 3.5-ton SUV really be? If it's an electric SUV with a Rivian badge, the answer is very good indeed. We range-tested a quad-motor R1S with all-terrain tires and it blew the EPA estimate out of the water. Oh yeah, and it sprinted to 60 mph in 3.3 seconds. Read on for all the details.
