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

[Rividiculous]

I was parked next to one

the other day getting some charge. It was being driven from Normal to Irvine doing tests.

Sorry doggie wouldn't let me take a Pic without him being in it ?

You saw a refreshed R1S “the other day” and are only posting it now? Sheesh. You gotta feed the hyper-speculation machine, man! Some of us don’t have lives. ?

Surprised how terrible those new wheels look. They look like my 2014 Model S wheels....

Ah ha, so it does have fog lights—or turn signal, or turn signal and fog combo. Maybe fog lights will be integrated into headlights (honestly don't feel like I ever had to have them on). Or, fog lights will be at-cost options. Slimmer light bar may not look like a cost saving (new moulds), unless it uses fewer LEDs than current.

You lost me at the first fog light.

I believe the Ascent motors are slightly smaller than the Enduro ones, but still bigger than Bosch. Tri-motor is likely positioned where the current quad is.

I've heard of the Ascent trim before as a possibility, but hadn't heard of Ascent motors. Can you share where you heard that? Thx.

I'm glad I did not wait for the refresh. I have really enjoyed the last 11 months / 12,000 miles + Rivian community events. I can't imagine what life would've been like without my R1S.

There will always be a refresh or upgrade on the horizon. I am waiting for 800v charging / solid state batteries.

I hope everyone finds their perfect build and gets into it as soon as possible.

For the folks who already have a Rivian, take it out tonight for a late night cruise to appreciate the engineering / build quality we already have in our hands.

Do you think there’s much value to the tow hooks (for us mostly mall crawlers)?

I've used them to pull out a friend already, hopefully not to costly to upgrade.

Anybody think the front end looks chubby now?

It has always looked chubby, it's the one detail I don't like about the design.

Thanks! You can keep the interior pics to yourself but has anything changed like steering wheel? we know new colors and wood coming). Also the headlight bar doesn't look as sleek as R2

here's supposed to be new 22 "aero" sp wheels

The 22" wheels look a lot like the 21" wheels without their aero cover. I wonder if the 22" aero wheels are the same wheels with new aero covers.

I saw that too and had to go outside and check mine.

The cheeks are more rounded now i think

Good glory, Hallelujah! Thank you for these. Seriously.

Appreciate your earlier pics and these as well. It seems as though I misspoke earlier when I judged the things people take pictures of.

Hopefully capacitive. Should have had that day 1.
