    @officialyasir Před 4 měsíci +17

    It's nice to hear feedback from people who just like cars and aren't fanboys of a particular brand. Most people equate soft seats to more comfortable seats, I am a little bit of the opposite, I find a well-designed and well-supported seat to be much more comfortable. My favorite seats are BMW ones with thigh extensions. I owned Model 3 for 2 years, wasn't crazy about the soft cushion but it was liveable but they were just too narrow, I felt like I was always sitting on top of the thigh bolsters.

    I own and Rivian R1S, and a model S, previously owned a model Y. I actually think the Rivian seats are fine. Slightly hard. But I like that they’re wider than the Tesla seats. The Tesla seats kind of squeeze your sides like hugging you too much. I don’t like that. But overall, I think they’re both equal to me.

  • @shaqdeez1
    @shaqdeez1 Před 4 měsíci +4

    I believe based on researching on seats in general that the firmer the seat is the healthier it is for the actual back. It is something you just have to get used to. it's like buying another seat for your computer desk and initially it doesn't feel comfortable because you're not used to it but then once you get used to it and then realize later it is actually better for your back you'll appreciate that. After a few hrs or days it'll feel more natural

  • @frumpd63
    @frumpd63 Před 4 měsíci +9

    I've owned 3 Teslas. The seats are fine. Most people love them because they are soft but the bottom cushions are way too short for tall people and 3/Y don't breathe at all. Also all of our Teslas were delivered scratched and filthy and had serious build quality issues. Our 23 MY is currently in the shop for the fourth time and the "comfort" suspension is still terrible. Model S and X are better but still very much on the firm side. So yeah, there is a lot to like with Tesla, (which is why we keep buying them) but there is also a LOT of room for other makes to improve. We are absolutely considering jumping to Rivian for the next go around.

    @johnwalters8322 Před 4 měsíci +1

    Great comparison of the Rivian and Model X!
    I have a 2023 Model Y and seat comfort was an early concern, specifically the narrowness of the mid-seat and the firmness of the wings. The right wing hit my sciatica and I was worried this would be a recurring issue, but the foam seems to have worn in some. (Or I don't notice it as much) The bigger issue was the headrest, which forced my head forward. My head would bounce off the headrest on bumpy roads or over potholes. I took the headrest out and turned it around, and plan to tilt the headrest back so it doesn't force my head forward.
    Bottom line - you have to be comfortable in the seat!

    I agree with a lot of this. Seriously I do. I own a quad motor R1T limestone with the black 22. The seat thing I feel it could be that yours are just still new and broken in. However I agree that they are a bit firm, but mine has soften a little over time. And feel better now. My model s plaid seats are good, but they hurt my back on long trips. In my lower back but in the Rivian, it was my butt that hurt. My model s plaid, seat needs to be replaced again, becasue it’s squeaky and sounds like popcorn. However I think the best combo is a Rivian and a Tesla best of both worlds.
    Rivian regen, is stronger. You have to get a use to it. The regen in Tesla is very smooth but doesn’t have the same amount of regen power. After sometime you will be fine.
    But I do 1000% agree on the acceleration pedal calibration. I much prefer the pedal in my Model S Plaid, over the Rivian pedal.
    Great video again!

      I own an R1S and a Model S. Definite difference in terms of vehicle - the Model X isn't a real SUV, it's barely a crossover. The Plaid seats don't fold so it's actually less practical than my Model S unless you get the 7 seater, but then it's slower than the Rivian. So the question really comes down to what type of vehicle you need, do you need an SUV or pickup? Or just a car?
      Tesla FSD is unmatched if you care about that but Driver+ on the Rivian is very similar to regular Tesla Autopilot. Service experience though is night and day, I'd hesitate to ever buy another Tesla based on the service experience. Rivian, by contrast, has been fantastic.

    I put a frunk kit in our model x to open/close automatically. Did that to our model 3 as well. Not a big deal. Enjoy our auto doors. Did rivian add the sentry/dashcam yet. I would not want to not have that. Also want the video games, and video movie watching ability. Kitchen is no longer available anyway so that does not mean anything. Visibility in the x in front is great with the windshield over your head which is not in the Rivain. If I want a pickup, I want something tougher like the cybertruck. Cybertruck has rear steering. Also our model x has a third row and can sit 2 more. Do not need drain in the frunk. I would use a cooler anyway because I want to be able to pull it out. The fit and finish in our X is great. Nothing wrong with it. Don't feel the Rivian has better finsih or luxury. I have seen them. X has air suspension. Don't need lowering to get in, I am not a midget but not tall either. I will get the cybertruck for a pickup. Rivian is too delicate and dainty. Sorry, but an X or tesla is not intimidating. LOL. Why? You are intimidated? Buy a corolla then. Kind of a silly video. See comments about bad seats in rivian. Teslas are all very comfortable. Rivian buys seats from another cheaper automaker, I forget which one. Seats are very important. I don't need beautiful. Again, dainty. I wave to rivians too. Cool to see them and the owners. Would not buy anything but a Tesla. Many reasons why.

If I liked the Rivian, and had issues with the seats I would get them redone to my liking. I've looked at Tesla and found so many negatives I wouldn't ever consider buying one.

    I just did a test drive today of the R1S and I have to agree with Armando about the seats! They were really uncomfortable for me but for a slightly different reason. I’m 6’ 8” and they don’t have an adjustable headrest, so it was way too low. The seats were firm but the fact that you couldn’t adjust the height made them super uncomfortable for me. I wanted to love this car coming from a Model Y, but unfortunately, for me the seats are a dealbreaker too

  • @christopherquinn4120
    @christopherquinn4120 Před 4 měsíci

    I like hearing the unbiased first-time Tesla X feedback. I realize seat comfort is a lot like bed comfort, some like firm and some like pillow… I’ve owned my R1S since August 2023 (5 mos) and I’ve never thought the seats were anything but awesome and that’s all I’ve heard from passengers. BUT, I prefer a German car seat over a Cadillac. I like both but if I had to pick, I’m going w the German style firmness. So I wouldn’t call the Tesla seat a deal breaker, but I def prefer the overall experience of the Rivian over my Tesla. Again very personal. I also bought a Chevy Bolt EUV for my triplet daughters and I think that car is amazing for the price. By far the best value for the money of any car I’ve ever purchased and the tech they put in that base model… insane value at $21k after tax credit.

    Good comparison. Still wouldn’t get the Model X because of the horn being dangerously located, but sounds the R1T would require a long test drive to see if the seats are ok. No question that Tesla has somehow figured out seats that even without much modification ability, are super comfortable for most people. When I had my Model Y, I found the seats incredibly good.

    I currently drive a 4Runner and absolutely hate the seats in it. I’ve been in the Model S, Y, and 3 and personally for me the seats are uncomfortable.
    So, getting a Rivian over a Tesla will be good for me. The Cybertruck still does not compare to the Rivian R1T and when the time comes I’ll still get the Rivian.
    Also, I think an R1S is a better comparison, but I get why this was done.

    Now that I've watched whole video I agree on the software. Tesla is light years ahead. If I could have my Model S software in my R1T it would be the perfect vehicle for me. Also, off road vehicles have stiffer seats. Need to. Rivian understood that in their testing. I question whether or not the cybertruck is going to hold up once people start actually using it off road alot.
