I've had good luck this year, but I usually end up with a flat twice a year. Not sure how I'd manage without a spare.

What’s your secret for getting the spare for $600? Cost me $800…I’ve added it to my R1T. $600 was an ok price for me.
I ordered the Explore trim with the standard wheels/tires.What’s your secret for getting the spare for $600? Cost me $800…
I added the full size spare too, however, it was $800. Which wheel did you configure? I have the 22” Sport Bright wheels.I’ve added it to my R1T. $600 was an ok price for me.
I added it back in. Would rather have the capability than go without. Our plans for future involve road trips west to Utah, Arizona and Montana.It was but newest update had this t say:
"The Off-Road Upgrade is now optional for Launch Edition and Adventure Package preorder holders. Over the past months, we’ve talked with many of you about the Electric Adventures you’ll soon be taking. While the trips all sound exciting, they don’t always involve extreme off-roading — the standard capability of our vehicles is more than enough.
Today when you visit your Rivian Account and view your configuration, the Off-Road Upgrade will be unselected, and your price will be adjusted lower by $2,000. If you would like the Off-Road Upgrade, simply select it. Your price will return to its original total."
I take it at face value but there is at least one theory that is an effort to save weight and improve EPA range.
Only the 21" is $600, the 20 or 22 are $800 for the spare. The price gets adjusted based on which wheel package you select.
The only way you can take delivery in the US is with a valid US drivers license and address. I asked this before as I work in Seattle on an L1A Visa and considered taking delivery there. Those were the requirements.I am a dual citizen with my pre-order directed with downpayment on a vehicle delivered to Canada. Can I change my delivery to my US address and switch to US funds last minute, or should I decide now which country for delivery?
They also altered the area above the rear view mirror and made it smaller in your updated photo (looks better now)I just found a few small changes to the interior today as well. I had screenshots of the configurator screen from a few months ago when I first reserved to compare to the updated ones from today.
I'm not saying these are all negative or positive (that's subjective), but here's what I saw:
- No more yellow buckle on the door panel pockets: https://share.getcloudapp.com/4gunY5eW
- Floor mats are a different color/texture: https://share.getcloudapp.com/mXurZEDq
- Different color stitching on the steering wheel: https://share.getcloudapp.com/7KuoJ2ZR
- Different color/material used for the speaker grilles: https://share.getcloudapp.com/4gunY5LB
- Although, when looking at the backseat view they actually look to have changed from plastic to a metal in the new version: https://share.getcloudapp.com/L1uB5zZQ. So this one is a little puzzling
Didn't notice that before! That definitely looks better.They also altered the area above the rear view mirror and made it smaller in your updated photo (looks better now)
To play devil's advocate, Rivian insisted they were on-track for June R1T deliveries up until May 27th... Then it became "July". And on May 28th-30th Rivian told several LE holders with ultra-low reservation numbers that it may be more like September-November.I talked to a CS rep yesterday (Emily) and she said the R1S as still on target for August deliveries...anybody else getting the same answer lately?
I agree with you and not holding my breath. But since the R1T and R1S are essentially the same platform except for the shorter length/wheel-base it should not be to different, and probably easier to build.To play devil's advocate, Rivian insisted they were on-track for June R1T deliveries up until May 27th...

So Rivian saying R1S is still on track doesn't really mean anything, imo. They first need to get R1T deliveries actually happening.
