Калифорнид үйлдвэрлэсэн хамгийн их хэлэлцүүлэг дагуулж буй хоёр цахилгаан автомашиныг бодит нөхцөлд харьцуулан туршлаа.
Rivian R1T болон Tesla Cybertruck нь хоёулаа Калифорнид үүсгэн байгуулагдсан гарааны компаниудын бүтээгдэхүүн бөгөөд зах зээлд хурдацтай өсөлт үзүүлсэн нийтлэг талтай. Гэсэн хэдий ч тэдний дизайны философи болон технологийн шийдлүүд нь эрс ялгаатай юм. Cybertruck нь өвөрмөц, этгээд гадаад төрхөөрөө олны анхаарлыг татдаг бол Rivian R1T нь уламжлалт пикап загварын илүү танил, энгийн хэв маягийг баримталжээ.
Технологийн хувьд Cybertruck-ийн онцлох шийдэл нь жолоодлогын “steer-by-wire” систем юм. Уг систем нь жолооны хүрд болон дугуйг механик холбоосгүйгээр дижитал байдлаар холбодог тул хүнд жинтэй автомашиныг жижиг седантай дүйцэхүйц эргэлтийн радиустай, илүү уян хатан болгодог. Харин Rivian R1T нь жолоодлогын хувьд илүү тогтвортой, тав тухтай мэдрэмжийг төрүүлдэг бөгөөд Tesla-д байдаг FSD (бүрэн автомат жолоодлого) системээр тоноглогдоогүй.
Техникийн үзүүлэлтийн хувьд Tesla Cybertruck Foundation Series AWD загвар нь хос мотортой, 600 морины хүчтэй, 7,430 фунт-фут эргэлтийн моменттой бөгөөд бүрэн цэнэгээр 318 миль замыг туулдаг. Үнийн хувьд 99,990 ам.доллар болон тээвэрлэлтийн хураамжтай. Rivian R1T Tri-Motor загвар нь 850 морины хүчтэй, 1,103 фунт-фут эргэлтийн момент бүхий гурван мотортой хөтлөх системтэй, 370 миль явалтын зайтай бөгөөд 102,790 ам.долларын үнэтэй байна.

I traveled to California to test two of the most talked-about trucks in the US, the Rivian R1T and the Tesla Cybertruck.
The Rivian R1T and Tesla Cybertruck have a lot in common, starting with the fact that they’re both made by startups founded in California that grew rapidly and went public.
At the same time, they’re very different, and not just because of the way they look.
Notably, one of them has a feature that’s truly hard to replace once you’ve tried it.
The ‘Cybertruck’ factor
If Martians landed on Earth today, we’d have a hard time explaining why all trucks look roughly the same except for the Cybertruck.
The ‘wow’ effect is no longer there, mainly because the truck has been around for nearly three years at this point, but the Cybertruck’s styling is still something you have to factor in.
This isn’t a subtle vehicle.
Even when you’re driving it, there’s a quiet voice in the back of your head constantly reminding you that you are operating a vehicle but also driving a statement
You don’t have that with the Rivian R1T.
It feels like a truck, and it feels like an EV, but it also feels ‘normal’.
The Cybertruck doesn’t.
The real game changer is something Rivian doesn’t have
The one thing the Cybertruck has that the Rivian R1T doesn’t is steer-by-wire.
I can’t begin to stress how excellent this feature is when you’re behind the wheel.
It makes a large, cumbersome vehicle feel nimble and agile.
The Cybertruck has a turning radius that rivals small sedans precisely because of this system.
Steer-by-wire is a point of contention, and one of the main reasons why this truck isn’t available in Europe.
With this system, the steering wheel is not physically connected to the wheels, only digitally.
The lack of physical friction makes the steering more precise and more responsive.
It’s truly, truly great.
The verdict
Normally, when YouTubers or reviewers pit one vehicle against another they then pick a winner.
But ‘better’ is almost always subjective and this is no exception.
The Rivian R1T feels wonderful to drive.
It’s smooth, fast as heck, and comfortable.
The Cybertruck experience is different.
It comes with FSD, which the Rivian doesn’t, and it feels heavier and bigger, because it is.
In a way, the Rivian is a modern take on a very American concept, the pick-up truck.
The Cybertruck reinvents it completely, with a love-it-or-hate-it design that’s part of the package.
