New R1 Refresh spotted photos! [Updated w/ New Wheel Aero Covers pic]

[GRC]

I am kind of glad that I got the pre-refresh R1S...Don't like the new light bar or new rims....I am sure there are probably better options available for more $$

I am sure though there are other features in the R1S refresh that I wish I had....e.g. heat pump if it makes it

No tow hooks

Looks like the blackout details from the OP photos are either an option or only on certain packages/trims.

Looks to be mimicking that of the Rivian R2 with how slim those lights are. I’m really liking the enhancements. It’s only going to get better

Exactly. Visually slimmer, without being physically slimmer.

[correction] not a NACS plug.

Maybe the new premium trim comes with the blackout option.

I like that! First thing when I saw the R2 in person especially after driving a R1S a few days before really showed me how much it needed to change.

Do you think if I bring my Rivian in to the nearest SC they'd do a retrofit for me to the new lights?

Honestly that would be awesome! I’m sure they could but maybe some things changed behind the bumper. Unless it didn’t you are safe

If it has better quality cameras the refresh will be worth it for me. Otherwise I'll probably be disappointed.

Wonder how they will pull the R1S onto a flatbed after the 12V dies now

Those rims are UUUGLY. I bet they're the new base option to try to get people to upgrade. It looks like the removed the small triangle window behind the A-Pillar. Less wind noise issues now

Per the manual, the lower control arms most likely.

Dang....those wheels are not my favorite. Very happy to have the OG dark 20's. And new headlight bars make it look disporportional. It isn't a big deal....just not what I personally feel "looks better".

Too lazy to read all pages. Are those 20" wheels equipped with 33" tires?

I think the expectation is that those will replace the current AT wheels with a 34" tire and the new "road tire" option will be the 22" Sport.

I'm happy to see that chrome trim is still available. I was really disappointed with the first photo of the red R1S all blacked out. I think the lack of chrome really makes the vehicle look down-market. I'm a fan of the chrome at this price point.
