Funny because r2 has an nacs port and can use the supercharger network.
I do love the r2.

Sounds believable. I’d definitely believe the lowest level Tesla employee about a vehicle that hasn’t even been released yet.

It's just a Tesla salesman. They don't have any inside information or expertise that proves anything.

lol, quality is the main reason I’m holding off on considering a Rivian. They are way behind Tesla and there’s many data points which prove it.

Yea, the IQ of people coming to ask questions in this sub seems to be dropping significantly every day.

Ah yes, the Tesla sales rep whose job is specifically to sell you a Tesla told you that a direct competitor has a better car than them.
Sure thing bud.

Did you read that correctly? Not just some guy, a Sales Rep.

Don't confuse folks with facts/data when they (allegedly) have a definitive quote from a single salesman.

Yes. I read that. A car salesman.

After watching reviews of the R2 I would think hard about it versus my Model Y if I were a first time buyer.

Yes because the best selling ev on the planet is certainly worse than a car that barely exists.

That what I thought also. I even call him out on it why would he admit to a potential customer that your competitor build better quality car than your company. He keep on telling me Tesla had better charging station network. I told him charging station not going to be a selling point for me to put down a deposit after hearing people having suspension issue with the car after certain xx mile

You can tell this person that Consumer Reports says his company is better build quality than Rivian. Or every car maker is better than Rivian. How stupid about the better charging network. Rivians charge in the stall next to Teslas, next to Nissans, next to Hyundais. . .
