I hope R1S has a dedicated place to store them under floor or seat.
Or, and call this a radical concept, store them in your space dedicated to "Rivian accessories when not in use" in your garage. Wild, I know ...

The rooftop tent is gonna take all that and then some! Plus, you know, living in a big city means my garage is a luxury to begin with, and is both space-constrained and packed full of all sorts of stuff!

I hear year regarding "packed full of all sorts of stuff!". I lived with a pack rat for decades and she was hating life when I clean slated the house (garage included) with only the stuff we needed.

Gonna hate being people if they're aiming for an R1S then, 'cause one's options are limited to make space or get used to having the SUV hold that sucker while it's garaged. Regarding R1Ts, it's not as bad as storing it won't take up much ceiling space and the last thing anyone will be worried about is aerodynamic efficiency concerning a R1T sporting the crossbars + Tent.

Could be wrong, but I thought they had a dedicated spot in the frunk.

Our garage door clearance is so low, I don't think the R1S will fit with the roof bars on! It should just barely fit with them off. So I'll be leaving them off unless we need the roof box for a trip.

That is Radical ;) for big stuff, that makes sense. Roof rack and some straps is like spare tire for me. Most of the time I won't need them but when there is an unplanned need for them away from home I would rather to have them with me. I know with R1S interior space it will be rare but it has happened to me in past.


Not dedicated, but they fit.
Good enough for me.

Eh, I guess. I mean, I live in a big city, but even here it's common to see houses, townhouses, and (some) appartments/condos with a garage. That being said, in my current home. I could not leave the crossbars on the roof on either of the Rivians as it would bump into the garage door when I open it to leave or park. Thankfully, with the R1T that's a non-issue due to being able to place the bars over the bed.

However, I do plan to sell my house for a different one that has a larger garage so I can accommodate a short height lift, space to store the crossbars and extra set of off-road tires so I can switch them out at my leisure, and (possibly) the Yakima tent when not in use. But that's not happening for at least another 2-3 yrs from now.

100% chance that my wife would rip them off the roof if our door was that low. Now I'm wondering: can we set the R1S to lower automatically when it approaches our house?

Supposedly they will fit in the front trunk. Not sure if that’s still the case.

It's pretty significant on my Polestar 2 at highway speeds.
Agreed. Plus the added wind noise in the P*2, I take them off once the box is off.
