OK, so first off, thank you Rivian for putting in Pet Mode. 🐾

We know it cools, which is when most people will use it (hey 2/3 of the US was over 90F last week and many triple digits). I've heard and seen great things about this part of the feature.

BUT - does it heat the cabin? I doubt most people have had the chance to test since it only came out recently, but for those of us into winter sports, will pets be kept warm in the cabin as well or is it only cooling. I haven't seen anything that says it will heat as well. It doesn't take long for cars to drop to outside temperatures when it's freezing or even below 0F outside.

I also like the idea because you could use this to keep it from being insanely cold in the R1S if you went car camping.

Yes, it will warm the cabin also if it is cold outside. It maintains temperature not just cools. I really love it when going in the store for 5 minutes. Really nice in summer but still useful in winter.
