Connectors on the back side of the inside passenger side of the gear tunnel. There are more wires on the driver's side but I didn't take it apart enough to get this shot. Was measuring for making my own slide-out kitchen.

Nice find, did you just yank off gear tunnel trim to get to these? The grommet is wiring exiting the passenger cabin and probably continues back to the bed? Orange may be high voltage DC or 120VAC. I'll start poking soon.

This tread is meant to serve as a reference and help us understand what is going on inside R1. The photos I am posting is from a video that is more than a year old and not from a production vehicle. I am hoping you will post updated information as you come across them. Hopefully this will serve DIY folks or those looking for better understanding of how things are put together.

Let me know if any of them are in conflict with production in any major way and I will remove it.

AND THAT!!!!!! IS HOW BABIES ARE MADE!!!!!! Thanx for posting

Plastic pieces over the outer seal/carpet need to come up to get access. Standard automotive clips.

With thanks to @All_electric_Seattle this is one of the 12V batteries:

Tonight I successfully found CAN, captured some logs, and decoded some real-ish data!
The rivian makes such a great hacking environment with the convenient seat and 120v for my oscilloscope!
We will be tackling this in my Canserver Discord.

I thought that they had two 6V batteries in series?

Pretty sure it was confirmed 2 12 volt in parallel

Your assumptions are pretty incorrect. He's overall very positive so far. He loves his personal Rivian.
