The answer to your question is in the mouseover of the YouTube thumbnail:
Rivian R1T R1S R1S first look videos from Yosemite [shows space available with seats folded, connections, & storage] 1653500050705


These are significant lifestyle influencers with an enormous following in the market segments Rivian is looking at. Same reason high tech / gadget influencers were in the first wave of R1T seedings (e.g. it may feel weird that MKBHD got it before TFL, but it's probably good marketing given the technology, price point, and market segment.)

It looks like you may be able to sit up under glass if you are not tall but not under the beam:

This was new to me:

So first question- I’m having trouble with the interior volume measurements. How many Justines are there in an RJ? 🧐

Some good 2nd and 3rd row info in Justine's video. 3rd row legspace looks pretty decent!

I wonder if this space is the option if you don't get the spare or spare is under it. Is there a ban by Rivian on showing the spare?

Thanks that’s helpful. If you could help some more- I’ve been out of B school for a while and I’m wondering if anyone compiles hard data on influencers and their ability to translate to purchases like an auto? I’m not knocking these reviewers- they are very watchable and entertaining while informative…but I’m certain if/when my R1S arrives I’ll sell a dozen to the raisins in my community just by parking it in front of the post office for a few hours. Can these women top that hit rate?

Its located in the owners manual but not an actual pic, its either this space OR the spare, it does not go underneath IIRC
