There are many descriptions on changing the filter but it's so simple on the Rivian compared at least to most Teslas and other cars I'll describe it. Simple pull up the cowl cover; no tools needed.

Slide off the plenum. Notice I'm another victim of Rivian's poor windshield quality. It had a long stress crack and now has a second impact crack. Meanwhile Toyota glass lasts decades of 4wheeling...

Yes besides nasty Los Angles air quality, my Rivian gets plenty of dirt trails and nature where the air is otherwise crystal clear. I had to do some cleanup while in here.

The filter housing tilts out and the OEM one comes out. With only 25K miles I thought I'd keep it as a spare. Well it was pretty packed with debris. Guess I'll toss that.

The Vion filter is nicely pleated and the carbon appears to be embedded in a second layer. Having a Carbon block water filter on my house, I can attest to how well they filter Chlorine and other things from my water to improve the taste. No doubt this will improve air quality over just a pleated filter found in most vehicles.

Your comparison to the home carbon water filter is absolutely spot on. The activated carbon really does make a massive difference for cleaner air.
Enjoy the fresh air in your Rivian!
