I was randomly looking back at pictures from the LA Auto Show release and it looks like the R1S there was shorter than the current ones. The back end also looks slightly more rounded off to me. Is this just a slightly different angle or did they lengthen the R1S a couple inches and square it off on top? Sorry if this has already been discussed

It's amazing to me that it turned out almost exactly the same! So many concepts are nowhere near what is produced.

Yes, they did lengthen the R1S. The original prototype was 5,040 mm (198.43") long. The production R1S is 202" long.

Bringing facts to a conjecture fight!

My recollection was that they lengthened 2 inches and extended the roof but just recollection.

Actually, production length ended up at 200.8 inches (although they were stating 202 for a period of time).
