Rivian updates website: Two 12v outlets now (none in frunk) for R1T

So who’s gonna untub & see?

Should be able to just pull the front piece off above the grill to find out. It's magnetically secured so really easy to take out.

That frunk seems to get so hot, I wonder how well a fridge would really do in there.

I qualify for original pricing. They can take away a lot before I get upset. Communication is important though.

You hit it @domoplaytime - it always boils down to comms.

FWIW.. I have a 12V powered hydraulic jack I use to rotate tires... I was intending to use that 12V frunk outlet to power the jack

I think I would use the one the gear tunnel, at least for one side.

FYI mine dont have any magnets, only clips. Another change. I do have the 12v and dual magnets.

Anecdotally my vin is 117xx and I have the 12v and 2 magnets. So the change must have happened pretty soon after mine was built.

I'm high 118xx and I have the 12v and 2 magnet setup.

I could lose the flash light and useless camp speaker (and third row and have bit more second row legroom).

I would prefer to have more storage or cup holders using the camp speaker space and the area in front where it slides out anyway.

I do think eventually the 3rd row will be an extra charge and it will be optional. Most manufacturers do that and it is a way to make more money.

I kind of like the flashlight though.

I put a plug-in portable freezer/fridge in my frunk using the 12V; best spot for it.

So disappointed this was missing when we picked up our R1T last week (vin 120xx). First road trip is this weekend and we had to put the cooler in the back seat…now the frunk is relegated to an oversized storage abyss.

Mine didn't come with a fleshlight.

I'll check as soon as I can, but I think with the over-the-air update I lost my 12 volt outlet...

that's a whole other form of adventure than what Rivian is targeting...

So that's what I can use the hole in the door for after I lose the flashlight.

People should email CS, Tony, RJ or whomever else to tell them they want the 12v back.

I have lived without a fridge in my car my whole life, so it’s not like I will miss it, but for some, the frunk fridge option was a real selling point.

My Guide told me they removed it because they felt like people weren’t using it.
