Flip flop S-T, back to S?

[bike123.com]

We pre ordered the launch S, a few months later discovered 7 seats only, no way to take out the third row for more space , as we wanted more space and did not need 7 pax capacity, so we swapped to the T, meaning earlier delivery
This week we saw the video showing flat seat fold and amble space that would fit out bicycles, so we are thinking of going back to the S
Anyone know what the rear would look like with the 5 seater?
Thanks

Nobody knows yet. Should be fairly similar but possibly a little more cargo width in the 3rd row area, and possibly some additional storage where the 3rd row footwell would be.

How much height do you need for your Bicycle. These are the specs I got form CS

• The cargo height with 7-passenger seating is 855 mm. (33.6 inches)
• The cargo height with 5-passenger seating is 925 mm. (36.4 inches)

7 seater looks like it is almost identical to my Jeep Grand Cherokee and I have to remove the seat to stand the bike up with the front tire removed when I put the bikes in the back.

that is very useful information
so looks like when they added the last row that needed more height the second row paid the three inch penalty to keep things even
too bad, if we ran the show since third roe's the place for smaller folk and kids we woulda shoulda coulda made the seats more compact
so we are still first wave adopters, any idea when the 5 pax will be available to us?]Thinking we might get the pick up just to scratch the itch and wait for a 5 seat S
any change they will put early adopters near the front of the line for a second buggy?

They have announced the 5 or 7 seat configuration will start in January. You can actually configure that now on the web site.

The other battery configurations are still up in the air and might not be until mid 2022 for the R1S

The frunk and gear tunnel make the T the choice for me. In current pickups, you load 3 friends in the truck with you and you have no locked up weatherproof storage space. you could use a good tonneau that locks to alleviate theft and weather issues but then you cant put large items in the bed. With the R1S you have great interior storage, but I cant/wont put my muddy mountain bikes, bags of mulch/topsoil, can of gas (for the mower) in my SUV. The combination of bed, gear tunnel, and frunk provide me with the best of both. YMMV based on your use case.

Hey! I think I bought a Raleigh Competition GS from you back in the early 80's when you had your first bike shop.

It could accommodate my MTB with the dropper down but not enough height for my road bikes which I currently place upright in my van. I was hoping to place them in the bed of the R1T until they removed the quick connects. : (

Larry - We moved from DMV to Silicon Valley in '97. Retired and moved to Bend, OR in '14. Still riding - mainly gravel, followed by road, with MTB languishing a distant 3rd. - Steve
