Tesla owner and YouTube influencer Ryan Shaw has owned multiple Teslas. In fact, he's owned a Model Y crossover, two Model 3 sedans, and a Model S Plaid. Shaw still has some of the vehicles, which he rents out on Turo while driving others. That said, it was time for a pickup truck, and the Tesla Cybertruck still hasn't come to market, so Shaw decided to buy a Rivian R1T.
Shaw makes it clear that Tesla is the true leader in EVs, not just by a slim margin. Legacy automakers are starting to dive headfirst into the segment, and some are bringing compelling options to market, but Shaw focuses more on the startups. He says that while there are several EV startups, including the likes of Fisker, Canoo, and Lordstown, Rivian and Lucid are the only ones delivering cars, aside from Tesla.
