Tesla Model Y outperforms Rivian R2 in real-world highway range test

A highway range test at a constant 70 mph compared the Tesla Model Y Performance against the Rivian R2 Performance, both with similar EPA ratings. The Model Y covered 317.8 miles (511 km), exceeding its official EPA range of 306 miles (492 km) by nearly 4%. In contrast, the Rivian R2 managed only 253 miles (407 km), 76.7% of its EPA-rated 330 miles (531 km). Conducted by Out of Spec Reviews and RivianTrackr on the same route and conditions, the test suggests that differences in EPA test cycles may explain the discrepancy rather than vehicle issues.

• Model Y traveled 317.8 miles, 4% above its EPA range
• Rivian R2 achieved only 76.7% of its official EPA range
