R1S/R2 vs Land Rover Defender
Coming from a Tesla Model Y and looking for a new family car. We’re a couple with one kid and a dog. Mainly looking for: a bit more space, and some basic off-roading capabilities for camping and going to the mountains (clearance, traction, all-terrain tires, etc).
I’m very much in between a Rivian, either a gently used R1S or an R2, or a Land Rover Defender 110. Honestly, I like the idea of the Land Rover more, but I’m concern of two things: coming from EVs, the old tech will probably suck and frustrate me; plus we use dog mode a lot in our daily lives, and I think I’d miss it.
Thoughts? Has anyone owned both cars or gone from one to another and can share their experience?
Thanks so much!
