I've been going back and forth with Rivian for a while and getting different answers for the same question. So if there are any R1S owners out there to confirm my question I'd much appreciate it.

Does the R1S have air circulation vents in the 3rd row seating area? I already know that the 2nd row has vents coming from the front center console but is that adequate? Nope! So, I'm hoping that they have more than that. My Ford explorer, a similar sized vehicle with 3rd row seating has ceiling vents for both 2nd and 3rd row seating and I've come to expect this. I've been in vehicles without a 3rd row ventilation and it sucks to have to sit in that row without the climate control. So this is deal breaker for me. Might be stupid but again, try being the one sitting there.

Any help is appreciated.

Hey neighbor! In this picture of what is supposed to be one of the first 2 production spec R1S delivered back in December, there at least appear to be vents in the c-pillars.

You can probably count the number of people that actually sat in the 3rd row of a R1S on one hand.

There appear to be only 2 confirmed R1S owners, and both of their last names are Scaringe. Probably not going to get a response.....

No, the other one went to the CFO who is not RJ's wife. Your point still stands, however...

Zooming all the way in on the pillar indicates that it clearly looks like a vent. Thank you, R1S is back on the list! Woohoo

In my R1T there is very little air coming out of the drivers foot vent. Your legs freeze in cold weathe.
