Thanks for sharing!

No interior shots, unfortunately.

Looks like the power tonneau lost a bolt cover.

And is the handle they show jacked up? Appears maybe stuck in the out position?

Nice photos! This is the first time I'm noticing that the front of the R1T looks different than what I'm used to seeing on the R1S - there is a more pronounced "grille" under the lights, and it looks wider than the one on the R1S (the top of the grille is a lot closer to the bottom of the stadium lights). Is this a pre- vs. post-production thing, or a truck vs. SUV difference?

Edit: now hold up, this yellow R1T looks much closer to the R1S image:

Might be a perspective thing. Standing vs kneeling photographs.

True, and like someone else mentioned the harsh camera flash lighting could be playing tricks.

Has anyone observed that the r1t's out there on the road have the same number plate? Post #47 and #109

Those are the manufacturer's plates.

They have a big stack of them and put them on any car they take out on the road for testing/validation/etc.

Similar to dealer plates that they put on new cars going out for test drives. The entire dealer business has a single plate number shared by all cars.

For lots of fun, search for "63277 Tesla" and see their CA MFG plate used for all their vehicles, from original Roadster all the way up to the Cybertruck (Unsure about the Semi)

I’ve been wondering what’s going on with the door handles as they seem to be sticking out in most of the photos of the R1T out in the wild.

Minor annoyance, but anyone else see the scratch on the plastic headlight lens here? I know a lot if not all manufacturers stopped making glass headlights and are using plastic, but have noticed that they get fogged and scratched so much.

Looks like a full scratch along the headlight and panel, easily removed with some buffing.

Also, they have different state stickers on the back. Which leads me to believe they’re testing 50 different preproduction models.

More photos with popped out door handles. Hmm.

Now I'm just intrigued...

As a R1S reservation holder, it is curious that there are only R1T pictures whether testing or out on the road... Nothing related to the R1S. I realize it is the same platform and much of the learnings and tweaking will apply to the R1T as well. Still, beyond pictures from Rivian tours a year ago, I haven't seen any pictures of the R1S. Any thoughts?
