Interesting that the tires are 275/60/20...not 275/65/20.

And they aren’t all terrain. Wonder if 20” with all seasons will be a future option.

Perhaps these are pictures of prototype assemblies being built last summer, and they are just using readily available wheels/tires, not final production spec wheels/tires? Some of these came from a video that was taken down in January, so these are not recent pix.

The video those stills are from indeed shows the building of a prototype.

275/60R20 is pretty much identical diameter as the 21” and 22” sizes Rivian uses. So that probably explains the size

Needed to pass some wires from the bumper to the inside of the frunk. Removal is pretty straightforward.
-Remove the four plastic covers surrounding the frunk. The front piece is magnetic and the others have simple clips, just gently nudge them upwards and they release pretty easily.
-Remove the 6 screws (circled red). 2 up front, 2 in the rear, and one on each side.
-Unclip the two plugs on each side (circled red)
-Lift out the tub and enjoy the brilliant engineering

Love these shots. They are so good Rivian may ask for their removal. I am curious what do you guys think these components are?

I am guessing 3 may be the tank for air compressor. 2 looks like a motor for something but I am not sure what? is 1 tailgate release button?

1 might be the air compressor control screen, just flipped up out of the way. No ideas on the other two.

1 is the tailgate release. 2 is the air compressor. 3 is the air tank for the suspension. Not sure if the suspension and air hose in the bed use the same compressor and tank or not. Better screen grab of the tailgate release. Also in the front corner of the bed above the sealant appears to be one of the tonneau cover motors

Wow, lots in that potato video, I wonder if it is available higher quality elsewhere. Or maybe Rivian will just give us wiring diagrams?

Easy, they're audio guys?! Not Denis Villeneuve.
