12 volt frunk power outlet is back! > in my just-delivered 2023 R1T (mid 18000 VIN)

[sacramentoelectric]

R1T 19xxx has the 12 volt in the front!

I’m a 19xxx vin, no 12v, no wood trim behind the seat.

I just checked mine for 12v under the dash - still there! Seems I got lucky with 3x 12v total.

I have the 12V under dash, 120v in rear console, but no 12v in the frunk ?

Picked up my 182XX R1T today and it has all three 12v.

I just picked up my 2023 mid 18000 vin R1T and to my surprise it has a 12 volt DC outlet in the frunk! I said to the service guy "I thought they removed these months ago?" and he replied "yep, they did. you must have an older build." I pointed out the 2023 on the sticker and the Vin and he repsonded with "oh wow, looks like it's back." While I don't know if mine was a fluke or not, I certainly have it on a 2023 and I'm very happy about it.

Update:

I have confirmed the outlet works. And here is a picture for those with trust issues.

My March 2023 in 18000s VIN also has the frunk outlet. I have not tried it yet, but assume it works.

I reported earlier in this thread that I do have a 12v plug in the frunk. I am back to report I do not have a 12v under the dash. Luckily, it’s not that big of a deal to me, but surprised at the inconsistency of delivered vehicles.

And I have the opposite. None in the frunk, but do have one under the dash. VIN 156XX, delivery details in my signature.

My recently-built R1T (PN194xx) has 12V in the frunk, but not under the dash. Seems like a real mixed bag out there!

173xx R1T none in the frunk, one under the dash, but it seems to be dead.

Crap.....I have not actually checked to see if mine actually works! And here I was all excited.

Thanks for the reminder to not assume. Testing.....testing......

Just took delivery of VIN 199xx R1T and I did get the frunk 12V. Sadly, I do not have the 12V under the dash, but I do still have the Meridian sound system.

Recent pick up 181XX no frunk 12V. Seems like it started in the 200s. Still have the useless (to me) 12V under the dash.

Useless to you. I put in a phone mount and wish I had the dash 12V to plug it in rather than running it to the center console.

Yeah I think the 12V in the dash is more useful to more people than the one in the frunk. Still not a fan of them removing it and the "we did a survey" comment Rivian made doesnt really ring true -- its too early for that kind of decision making.
