“How does your Rivian van compare to a Tesla?”
To ensure that your packages are delivered on time during the 2023 holiday season, in Q3-2023, I was tasked with quickly enabling the use of Rivian electric delivery vans (EDVs) in my product. To do so, I had to force myself to learn about these vans and Amazon's ecosystem of chargers in a very short time-frame, and it was a rewarding experience!
Whether you like them or not, Tesla cars are still the first thing that comes to every person’s mind when they think of an EV. As I was catching up with friends during the holiday break and telling them about my experiences with EDVs, a question that I got asked a lot was “How does your Rivian van compare to Tesla?”
Upon searching the internet a few times, I realized that there’s no resource on the internet that compares a Tesla car with Rivian EDV, even though all the information is publicly available (and why would there be one, as they both serve two very different use cases!).
For anybody who has the same question, I’ve created a page that compares Rivian EDV 700 with Tesla’s most-sold car in 2023, Model Y. I’ve just compared the specs that I got the most questions on.
If you’re curious to learn more about Rivian EDVs, one of my favorite youtubers, Marques Brownlee, has a solid video on his channel- I would strongly recommend watching it (link in comments).
Also, as you can tell, the cabin is so pleasing that it instantly puts a smile on your face 🙂
