Hey, folks -
I have an R1S reservation allegedly due sometime in Oct-Dec. I'm not holding my breath, however, since Rivian's moved that Window about 37 times now. Anyway, our house mate has an R1T, so we've had lots of opportunities to look at things that are common to both R1T and R1S, and one item that keeps coming up is electrical power for modifications - and that means learning more about the fuse box. After lots of unnatural bending, contorting and folding of my body parts, this is the best picture I was able to capture of the Interior Passenger Side Fuse Box. Located where the glove box would normally be, behind the passenger knee airbag rubberized panel, upside-down, slightly tilted and placed in a horrendously awful position to support any kind of easy serviceability:
Unfortunately, and for reasons known only to Rivian, they don't provide any diagram or schematic for this box - you know, like every other car manufacturer in the world does...and I have spent a considerable amount of time hunting for it. At some point, Rivian will be required by law to provide these details per Right-To-Repair legislation, but until they get told by the government to provide this information, it would seem they aren't inclined to help us "stay adventurous" in this particular endeavor. I have asked my worthless guide for assistance, and they tell me to ask the service center who tells me to talk to my guide, etc...
Once I get my R1S, I'll just map the damn thing myself, but I'm really hoping it doesn't have to come to that. People want to modify their vehicles, and going through the fuse box is the best way to do that. Why Rivian thinks that not providing this information up-front in the owner's guide was a good idea is completely beyond me, but someone at Rivian should get their ass kicked for this [in my opinion]. Rivian has demonstrated time and time again that they have some serious customer communications problems, and this is essentially just more of that. Anyway, I digress...
The only modification I have made to the picture is to re-add the 10A fuse that would normally be hidden behind that big metal body panel clip at the top of the photo. The rest of the fuses and their associated values are visible. I have other pictures of the fuse box if needed as this plays out.
So, the question is, has anyone had an opportunity (or desire) to start the process of mapping the fuse box, or am I the only R1 future owner that cares about knowing these details?
UPDATE: See page 2 of this thread for complete layout information for both the driver's side and passenger's side fuse box!
